If we want to be a chance of winning this game we need Olam to play.

Who does Faataape have photos of?

 

[Halbrowne61]

If we want to be a chance of winning this game we need Olam to play.

Yes, agree. Can only assume he will be assessed later in the week to see if he’s fit enough to play. His knee must be really troubling him.

On one knee?

 

[Demps]

Naden,

Injured or dropped?

 

[innsaneink]

Naden punted... Benji gets it half right, Jonneh still there

 

[Halbrowne61]

On one knee?

Definitely not, has to be fit to play and at the moment that looks 50:50.

 

[innsaneink]

Naden,

Injured or dropped?

No cares... He's not there's the main thing

 

[Spartan117]

Who does Faataape have photos of?

Tries real hard and chases everything.

I like him and have seen him improving in a beaten side

 

[Halbrowne61]

Naden,

Injured or dropped?

I’d say dropped, especially after being hooked without noticeable injury on Sunday.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Tries real hard and chases everything.

I like him and have seen him improving in a beaten side

He’s still not a first grader.

 

[innsaneink]

He’s still not a first grader.

Yet...
He's had a handful of NRL games; developing player

Agreed. There is a lot of upside with Faataape considering was he signed late straight from the QRL. I can see him growing as part of our NRL team so we need to demonstrate commitment to his learning.

 

[Aceshigh]

I’d say dropped, especially after being hooked without noticeable injury on Sunday.

If he was dropped there should be half a dozen others dropped as well , we just don’t have the depth to do so

 

[Tim Sheens]

Not a star, yet doesn't he still have the best win/loss ratio of this year's squad?

 

[hank37w]

There is something I like about that guy, hope that given time he can develop into a good quality NRL player.

 

[Tim Sheens]

If we want to be a chance of winning this game we need Olam to play.

If he is fully fit, then for sure, but apart from a few notable moments, most of his performances thus far at WT have been quite underwhelming for mine.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

There is something I like about that guy, hope that given time he can develop into a good quality NRL player.

Remember when Olam and the Staggs came through for the Storm and Broncs. I believe Faataape has as much natural ability as those two, Olam hit hard in defence and ran strongly and Staggs could hit a gap. Many forget he is being introduced into an NRL squad not as strong as some teams.

 

[Newtown]

He’s still not a first grader.

How many "real" first graders do we actually have in this team?
