For anybody who wants an early look at fainu playing halfback he will be on nswrltv at 3pm on Saturday.ill be playing golf I'd love to hear how he goes at halfback

Does it matter?
Until we see him play in our system and squad, his form elsewhere means jackshit

I see your being your usual positive self Tucker.

Irrespective, it’s true.
Our system is rotten. It will take an almighty effort to not drown in it.
I’ll judge how he is travelling in June..if he has played enough top level by then.

Well if he's any good at half it'll make the trials next year interesting

So this game on Saturday will be a factor in how our trial team lines up next February? Doubtful

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

He has killed it at halfback and five eighth most times he has played KOE. He will be a gun and would not be surprised if at the halfway stage of next year he is in the first grade halves for us.

Cheers mate,
Unlike some I will have a watch to see how he goes and I do believe we are heading in the right direction.

He could easily be starting the season in the halves for us. Trial form plus injuries will play their role.

Love the looks of this kid.

Seems to take on the line direct and pass late.

Exactly what we need.

 

[426Tlgerland]

Il watch with interest as he will be one of us , I don’t care how he goes it’s more to watch him now he is coming over , hope he does go well

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Be a few to keep an eye on in this game who are off contract or could be targets - Kaeo Weekes, Clayton Faulolo, Zac Fulton, Xavier Savage.

Xavier Savage is exactly the sort of player we should target.

Bumping this thread.

Watching Latu in the Eng vs Tonga game.

I'm impressed with Latu's enthusiasm and skill I'm the 14.

Good defending, smooth out of dummy half.

Looking forward to his debut in the coming season.

 

[Todd Packer]

I was a bit disappointed at how he was used.
They're down 20-0 and he's thrown in at dummy half to shovel the ball. What was the point of flying him to England to do that?
Tui was playing like a busted so put the kid on at 6, tell him to play footy and hope for a miracle.

 

[Todd Packer]

I'm pissed about it because we needed this kid to have a full pre-season with Benji. Now he's been thrown into a Tongan team for no apparent reason, and so does that mean he only resumes training in January?
There needs to be an investigation!

Mate settle down he’s just spent a month with some of the best footballers on earth he’s gonna learn a thing or 2 of them

I'm hopeful from game 1 he is fit and playing first grade in the 6 jersey.

Sure would’ve preferred him play out wide but he showed up in defense & was doing it 1-1 as well which gave a very good sign physically he could handle himself at the top grade.

He will come back and rip into training soon enough. The real preseason combination training doesn’t kick in until Jan anyway.
