Fonua Pole #257

[BalmainJnr]

Wonderful player. Glad he is on our team.
Hopefully at WT for a long time.

 

[AL The Tiger]

He decided to put away the footwork and light stepping and simply run it straight and hard towards the end of the game. Should keep doing that

 

[Merlot]

Victorian.

Still like him? 😂

more acceptable than QLD's this time of year

looked much better at the back end of the game, simplified his game and just ran hard! Assuming the moved him back to a prop and Bateman was playing lock. Pole isn’t a lock I think we need to get him back to just being a damaging ball runner, really rate the kid highly hopefully we lock him away long term

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Imo The back end of the game really highlighted the fact he is a front rower

 

[tiger_one]

Sure, the "non-pass" hurts, but in the heat of the moment and with our developing squad, not a total surprise.
He'll learn from it.
Otherwise, he gave everything.
Liked his game.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Everything about him screams impact.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Ruben Wiki 2.0. Hard as nails

 

[liltiger]

He's a keeper

I think ur 100% right he looks better been a prop , but us letting joffa go has left us ONE short

This...
He's 20 - He'll throw it next time,
That's for sure....

His effort off the ball is almost the best in the team,
Growing every week.

The Fonua Pole we saw in that last 15 minutes against Canberra when he charged at the line, how do we get him back?

Surely this is an easy one. Pick your line and belt it up. We'll give you the ball.

Must easier when you are actually in a game and you look a chance to actually get a win.

Hard work when you are getting belted all the time.

The ability to stand up and take a hard run when your on the back foot is really something that’s been missing from the tigers for a long time
He has the ability I hope he gets to realise it

Heighno to keep pumping out more powerade.

 

[Magpies1969]

Has been one of the shining lights over the last couple of poor seasons.

Let's sign him up long term and get him some more mates.

 

[Moh]

I really like Pole. His footwork at the line is so good, amongst other things. But that really troubles the opposition.

It's the Monday after our last match for the season on Friday night and mad monday at the races on Saturday and this guy is in the WT gym doing a weights session (source: Insta) and was pushing out 130kg+ reps on the inclined assisted bench press.
