What position does Fonua play ?

Fonua is a prop.

 

[Merlot]

Pole will pop up anywhere in the forwards id expect

 

[Tigerdave]

Yeah so at some stage we should see AD at 5/8 and Brooks at hooker.

 

[tony soprano]

Seyfarth 😲

 

[Tiger Tarl]

On paper, this is close to our best team this year. And position v position I think we have the wood in the majority of matchups. Whether that transposes to on-field is yet to be seen... Fingers firmly crossed but everything points to a fairy tale return for the Warriors. Hopefully, it's not such a happy ending for them...

 

[WT2K]

Seyfarth 😲

He's shocking ay. Runs around like a new born calf.

Big Quads too, I am glad we are blooding a few young kids. Matamua should be next

 

[SeanT]

Gutless

Brooks, Kelman, Seyfarth still in there. Tamou is lucky to be in this side on top.

Best Team all year? God help us...

Good luck to Pole.

One of the (very few) forwards in state cup who has kept on trying all year. Still a kid and does not bend the line, but hopefully that comes as he grows.

Side note: honestly, we may have the worst backrow / props in history. No matter what, Kelma / Garner / Seyfarth / Tamou just keep getting picked as there is no one else. Horrendous lack of depth.

Still got no depth otherwise you’d piss off all of them who won’t be here next year

 

[AL The Tiger]

Not much development going on here. Not sure why Noddy seems to dislike Simpkin? Our best hooking option by a long way

 

[magpies forever]

I think maybe they chickened out on the Brooks thing to say to the leakers
sorry you got it wrong

Well, they at least dropped him for last weekend. 🙂 I dont care too much what they do at this stage as long as its testing what to do for next year. I think the reality is that it will take another week or two before they will put Doueihi in for a full game, and alas the realistic excuses continue for picking Brooks.

If Madden has already told the club he is looking elsewhere, not much point in promoting him over Brooks. My concern remains Hastings- if his foot injury get worse and he breaks down an cant play for rest of season, Brooks cant do the organising and leading of the team , Brooks is incapable and Madden doesnt seem to be in the mix. A terrible possibility just when we seem to be getting Doueihi back. :-(

That's madge for you. He's not ready.

 

[Sco77y]

They were always going to include Brooks. They’re either covering up a leak or were never going to drop him anyway. Being this club though, I’d say it’s the former

 

[Aceshigh]

Least Liddle is gone
Seyfarth is shit

I would promote another debutant in place of Seyfarth
