I think Fusitua has been going ok, his stats back that up aswell.

He needs an extended run in the side not dropping.

We really should be beating Wakefield at home if we’ve any thoughts of doing anything this year, I’m hoping Friday has given us some much needed confidence

Interesting to see that on the Wakey board they think they can come away with 2 points from HQ this week.
Wakey have been a thorn in our side for many a year now, would like to see that put to bed

They haven't scored a single point in the past two games. Geez, is our defense reputation really that bad?

I think we should be looking at making sure they have a hat-trick of nils.

Complacency and/or the come down following a big win would be the main concerns. Providing we put in the work and don't overplay in hope of a cricket score we should be ok. No cert though.

We need the pack to get on top early. More of the same from Tet and Holroyd. Let's stop messing about with Tet in the back row!
And Sezer needs to take control on the back of this.
Be interesting to see who takes Leemings spot on the bench.
Walters has definitely deserved a place in the 17.
Regarding Fusitua. Yeh, he's been disappointing, but we need to keep playing him to get his fitness up and get the best out of him.
He is a talent, but needs to start showing more of it.

Wakey love nothing more than coming to headingley to try and cause an upset. Take them lightly at our peril. Complacency is our enemy in this one. Play well we win without a doubt but we must be disciplined and remain fired up to kick start our season.

Fusitua is a major problem - his body language is awful , and at times , he just does not look interested .
For one Saints kick to him , if you watch carefully , he has his back to the ball and he makes no attempt to catch - stands there uninterested .
He is slow - he could not outrun Connie over 20 yards near the end of the game , and there is no intensity in his game . If ever a player is going through the motions , this is it . If he wants to go home , we should bite the bullet now and move on.

For a player thats not bothered he makes an awful lot of metres, he has a ‘relaxed’ demeanour thats his style.

What do you mean ‘bite the bullet’ are we going through that whole thing of thinking you can just get rid of contracted players?

Agreed, think he’s been one of our more consistent performers, especially out of the back field, no real glaring errors and finished the one chance I can remember I’m having. I really don’t know where the impression he doesn’t do his yardage work comes from tbh, often gets a fast ish ptb too.

I do wish we’d kick to him more in good ball, seem to remember him being a real threat through that method for Tonga. Maybe with a bit more confidence in Sezer we might see it.
