Let's just put things in perspective Tom Briscoe has scored more trys in 8 rounds than Fusitua has in 2 seasons he's been a terrible signing.

That may be so and Id not resign him but that’s not my point.

Some times things work out, sometimes they dont. I cant see Leeds keeping hold of Fusi after this season.

How long is he out for ?

What I can't understand is he's gone the same way as Tui and Hurrell he's got more out of shape while he's been at the club both have left and are in better condition is Fusitua going to do the same?

His stats this year don’t tell that story.



He’s been unlucky with injuries it happens unfortunately.

I wouldn’t say he’s out of shape. He’s just a big lad, I think he has bad body language, which makes him look lazy/ tired, similar to was Smith was saying about Nene on Sunday. He may look uninterested but he works hard getting us out of our own half. Often getting his nose through the line and a quick ptb.



Hurrell is in exactly the same shape as he was at Leeds. Just in a better team that can cover his weaknesses.

Just not worked out sadly. When he's fit and gets a good run of games he does well.

Sadly the Injuries mean he's in snd out of match fitness.



I hope Tindall gets a few chances over Olpherts so we can find out early if we need a winger on the shopping list too.

or would you get a centre and leave nene out wide?

That’s what id do, Nene looks great on the wing.

Which would you think is a genuine target?

Neither Hurrell or Tui are in better condition at all, just being used in different ways.

It must be their shirts that make them look slimmer.

Tui looked bigger than ever on Sunday.

Which Centre would you think is a genuine target?





absolutely no idea. or which winger would be either.

just throwing it out there

Given that we made a play for Gildart last season, and that he hasn't cracked first grade at the Dolphins, I wouldn't be surprised if we were interested.

Or your mindset, what you Wanna see?

Assuming Sezer, Tetevano and Fusitu'a all leave and based on NRL OOC 2023, i would like to see



In



Adam Pompey/Patrick Herbert

Daine Lawrie

Luke Brooks/Mikey Lewis





and line up like:



Laurie

MacDonald

Pompey/Herbert

Newman

Handley

Austin

Lewis/Brooks

Oledzki

O'Connor

Holroyd

Bentley/McDonnell/Gannon

Smith



Sangare/Walters

Johnson

Lisone

Bentley/McDonnell/Gannon

An interesting idea,would depend on what centre / wingers are available and if Nene is happy on the winging not opposed to either tbh.



No idea on 1 or 7.

I think we need a proven FB with some pace and a 7 that can organise and kick well.

I dont think we need to bring in a direct replacement fir Tet given how well McDonnell,Gannon,Martin and Bentley do ( when fit)

Martin a far better option there now than Gildart. No thanks

I honestly don’t think he’s going that well at present. Leaving aside his wobbly kicking (which will sort itself out), he's had some good moments combined with some very bad ones. A bit like the team, I suppose. I suspect he'd rather play second row. No idea if the current version of Gildart would be a better option, but if we were to look at a centre I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.

And BTW, I'm sure you were advocating getting rid of Rhyse only the other week.

So Fusitua out for 3 months and Olpherts has a calf injury.

I think we must try Tindall on the wing if nothing else for cover if Handley or Macdonald gets injured.

Martin's best position is 2nd row we have one genuine at the moment we need another.

We have two,just forced because Fusi can't stay injury free and Olpherts had a mare
