Does Sione Fainu have the right skill set to play Second Row like his brother?
Rock Hopper Steve

They're brothers so you would think they would practice a lot together and plenty of tips passed over.
I think he's one of our most versatile forwards
Can see him succeeding anywhere in the pack.
Front row, back row, lock.
Just all depends where Benji sees his value.
So, yes.
As of this very Minute - He's barely an NRL Player.
A middle forward.
I'll eat my hat if he ever rolls into an NRL Edge forward,
He's solid back up in the middle at best atm.
The logic running out here is mind blowing,
Reserve graders get 20 mins in the middle off the bench in 1 game
We manifest them into International second rowers.
Yes,
We need 2nd Rowers (More than 1, And much more than we needed to give Sione a spot)
How bout we do what the other 16 NRL Clubs do - And buy a couple.

Its interesting that the same fans who hated the International backrowers we did have are also championing our reserve grade middles to replace them.
It might work out...I doubt it though.
Terrell May was a reserve grader in 2023...
He was actually a reserve grader in 2019.
And here he is in 2025 (6 seasons later)
- Still playing the exact same position.
You're unemployed until you get a job.
There's no doubts the Fainu family have talent.
Time for Sione to prove it to the world.
