Samuela Fainu #280

[ChilledChaos]

Sam Fainu is a weapon! 39 tackles today not to mention some incredible cover saving tackles! Plus the damaging runs, brutal in contact! Those offloads are super impressive, can kick very skillful! Just a full blown 80 min competitor! Galvin, Fainu and Doueihi are lethal on that left edge 🔥

That edge is unreal they need a fast winger out wide and they will be unstoppable

That's Foxs' Preferred side no?

Hope Latu comes good but we got a good thing with Sam.

 

[Mccarry]

Only behind King Api as my most valued player.

I love the quality in his game. Loves the contact, great hands, HUGE motor, does the extras, runs hard, holds up the tackle to slow the ruck.

And literally the thing I am most exited by… he is still getting better.

Our best back rower since Gareth Ellis?

Ellis
Benny G
Buckets
Dwyer
Sammy F

Too early to be number 2 just yet, def on the rise. Give it another year playing like that and he is no. 2 no question.

Isaiah who?

Well said, scary how good he is at this age.

And very rare for this type of player to also be so good at the one-percenters.

We got criticized when we go him and his brother for 500k but what an outstanding decision this was.
I rated this guy, but he has come on in leaps and bounds so quick and has cemented his starting spot moving forward even when the other come back. Future SOO player for sure.

His skill level is incredibly high for a big forward. Some of his catches on short kicks and that flick up to Api 😮

When you watch the second Galvin try watch how the defenders have eyes on big Sam Fainu.

The impact of having a big damaging edge runner is huge on a backline. The defence can’t man on man on the slide as they constantly worry that Sam will get one on one with a defender.

 

[BAGNF05]

Sam THE man

Exactly. Compare him to Stef. Both huge talents, but the consistency and the one-percenters of Sam Fainu are leagues ahead.

Stef is busting tackles through the middle. Bit different.

This. I am shocked at what a professional he already is at his age.

He’s our answer to Olakau’atu. Would love to have him with us too.

Tall, rangy athletic back rowers.

Papallii is pathetic. Still keep thinking of his dumb head not committing to the Tigers at the Dally Ms. Knob. Plus he is a choad and shit.

I think he said Since...
Fair point re Dwyer, I really wish he did not get injured.
Taupau should get a mention as well. he clearly was a beast and unleashed beast mode at Manly.
... But it's a sad list. No one has impressed since Gareth Ellis IMHO.

Dude better not have a “get out” clause …
