Tuilagi looked good all of last year. Stood out in the 1st trial I went to, and looked good in first grade.

If he is off contract at the end of next year, then he has been open to approach since the start of November.

Someone has been asleep at the wheel again. Should we still be blaming Hartigan?

I think that’s a pretty bad loss tbh. Shows a lot of potential and with Blore being very prone to injuries, we only have one proper backrower next year in Papali’i

Papali may play in the middle as well.

I can only think it is money related.....

He had a good chance to cement a starting spot this year and build into 2023.

The Club obviously had a ceiling on his value....

very disappointed to read this news. Based on what I saw last season I thought Kelma this year would kick on to become a damaging ball runner, just the type of player we need.

Yeah I wanna hear it officially… but can’t believe that we haven’t secured this guy up. On a positive note he’s going to get plenty of game time this season.

Disappointing but the club obviously rates seyfarth and with Blore and papalli starters (if fit) I don’t think we can pay overs for Tuilagi. He was always a value trade, we just need to make sure we find more value in the market

Massive loss. Should have be re signed months ago. Time to hit the player market.

I was pumped to watch Blore and Tulagi become long term 1st graders with WT

It would be nice to build and secure a strong young core that drives the future success of the club.

Hopefully it was a WT decision not something that happened due to oversight/bad management

Can’t keep them all I suppose. I’d be interested if we were happy to let him go or fought hard to keep him

If we didn’t fight hard to keep him we are mad. I think he will turn out to be better than Blore

Putting to much faith in Blore  is a mistake still not a  proven first grader and yes I know he has been unlucky with injuries and that might turn out to be the problem with talking him up. But I do wish him well for the future

Also what’s with these clubs announcing these signings before allowing WTs the common curtesy of breaking the news to its members first.😡

It’s not official yet and I don’t think Peters actually works for them anymore but he does have good connections to the club.
