Fiji Bati facebook page claiming Sisa Waqa's been training in Melbourne and is available come World Cup. Someone posted him sitting with the Storm reserves at the double header too.
Now I know it's probably just social media beat-up but has anyone seen him around the club?

But if we're looking at bringing him back to the Club......we're in more trouble than the early settlers....

sorry...do we know for sure that Will has goneglennb wrote:2018 team no McLean, Harris, Cronk, Chambers and now Slater is thinking about going. We are going to have no players, but we will have heaps of money in the salary cap.

I would find it surprising personally...not impossible...but surprising....

I saw some social media rumblings about Sisa Waqa on Saturday night... I seriously doubt anything will come of it though. He left the game under a cloud.
-There was that strange incident (2013?) where he cut his hand in the pre-season and missed 8 or so weeks.
- He left us amid concerns over significant gambling debts.
- He joined the Raiders and was linked to a French Rugby move within a few months.
- Committed to seeing out his two year contract with the Raiders.
- Granted an early release to play French Rugby early into his second year (last year). Hasn't even been there 12 months.
His form was hot and cold following the 2012 GF... But, he arguably should have a Clive Churchill Medal in the trophy cabinet.
I wish Waqa all the best but I doubt his future lies at our club. Doesn't seem all that stable.

My guess is Sisa is just back in Australia after the French rugby season has ended and he's just visiting his former club.
As for the Chambers rumours, Matty Johns started it. Apparently he heard people talking about Will going to the roosters at fox sports. Since when had Matty Johns ever got anything right?

I admit I had / have a massive man crush on Sisa Waqa. I would be more than happy for him to come back.
Yourhero you are right about his gambling debts. He was very good in his first season for the Raiders. Then he seemed to have his papers stamped by Ricky Stuart like a number of players before.
Speaking of ex-players re-joining the club there were rumours a while ago about Hoffy returning to the Storm. Did anything come of that or had anyone heard anything about that recently?

I've been following Sisa on Instagram the past couple of weeks. He's been in Melbourne for a very long time so far, he's loving the fact his Mrs and kids are here. Saturday sport, taking them to school... I am a bit over the top haha!
I think if he had the chance to play for Storm, he definitely would. Unlike many rumours of players with family elsewhere, he is well and truly based in Melbourne.
