    Default Warrington sign Tongan prop Leilani Latu

    How do Warrinton stay under the salary cap after the latest signing of Tonga prop Leilani Latu. Is the club a Saracen's in the making

    They all sign for the base salary, they go there with the promise of winning things!!

    Makes sense for them. Need strengthening in the prop positions. Hill has been a good player but he's past it

    Seems more of a fringe player only played about 56 games in the last 4+ years, if he turns out to be a Tasi type of player then don,t think there is too much to worry about.

    From what I’ve seen NRL fans commenting he sounds nothing to worry about

    If they are and they are found out I very much doubt the RFL will follow the RU's lead on this.

    Appears to have a bit of a problem for match fitness over the years, so to miss a full pre season for the start of superleague next week is typical Warrington. Our Matty Lees will probably be better quality than this "Polyfilla Player".

    You’re quite right - they already have 7 before this signing. Presumably Clark or Mamo will be getting moved on.

    I'd take Mamo as cover.

    I watched him since he was in the under 20s at the bulldogs I think he will be strong in SL he was solid for panthers but since he went to titans he hasn't done much and went down hill quickly once he gets match fit he will be good for Warrington he can be lazy in D but in attack he can hit a hole well and can find the line when 10 meters out to me he could be what BMM is for them now he also come to SL with a reputation of being lazy and he was always in and out of 1st grade here in oz I reckon he could be a handy buy for them it would also be interesting to find out how much he getting of the wovles it was mentioned that in the paper over here he was on $500,000 a season at the titans

    Didn’t he only play 3 games for the worst team in the NRL last season, so he either has a spotty injury history or wasn’t deemed good enough for the NRL’s worst team, neither of which make him sound like something to worry about.

    One of those mysteries that will never be solved, like Lord Lucan, the Bermuda Triangle, Jack the Ripper, and how Sam Powell earns a living as a rugby player.

    Just had a look on Wikipedia as I've never heard of him. Looks a right lump and looks a bit simple too so should fit in just right.

    I always wonder at the nerve of Saints fans questioning any other teams managing of the salary cap given Saints have twice been found to be in breach.

    And both times were 'technical' and minor, in 2006 concerning the automatic triggering of bonuses for players getting picked for GB when at the start of the season they'd not been in anyone's consideration.

    But Wire keep signing high profile and in-demand players without ever breaching the cap. Puzzling.

    It's a valid question though,more people in and half of Burrell's contract going on this year as well.
