Fair play hahaha

Re: Fonua : Tue Jun 11, 2019 7:47 pm  

Has had the odd good game with some big hits but overall pace wise and defensively has been caught out and had a few big Injuries. I know his young buy feel we might have seen him at his best. He went home for family reasons and was prepared to play reserve grade so a super League even Hull move is unlikely

If we was going to sign him , we’d have know. A while ago he wasn’t getting a deal at wests , so we wouldn’t have signed either swift or Faraimo I reckon . Plus him and Faraimo in the same team wouldn’t fill me with confidence.

I loved his time here and I bet he hasn’t had the adulation at Wests he found here.
That said, he was rocks and diamonds. I think he was lucky to keep his Wembley place in 2017, but then had a big game.
He was good for bringing the ball out and winning penalties on the back of that, but I really think we need the injection of pace that Swift brings.
Our money needs to be invested in line breaking forwards.

Speedy wingers just aren't that valuable any more. Power beats pace every time in the modern game imo.

If we sign him it would be a bit of a 'heart over head' decision. That said, you couldn't blame the club for wanting him back in the fold, given how he performed during his time here.

Re: Fonua : Tue Jun 11, 2019 10:37 pm  

I watched him play v storm about 5-6 weeks ago
He played the full game
He caused them defensive problems particularly in the last 15 mins
He’s bulked up more and looked to be a bit overweight but but but
He played the full 80 and was a handful in a much fitter game over here in Aus

I’d have him back in a heartbeat
He is a game changer !!!
I credit him with a major part of the CC success
