He was good on the wing but the centre Faingaa was awesome.

Didn't see the game but what i have seen of this Faingaa guy i really like. He is a player

 

[Vicious]

It's surely to do with he's tiny, keeps getting pushed backwards in most of his hit ups. We lost a lot of momentum from him getting pushed back 15m multiple times. Or him getting out jumped by his opponent a dozen times this season. He's leaving the club in 6 months, we should have no need for him

Did you watch him play today ?
By far the strongest ball runner on the field.
If we are being fair dinkum he is part of our NRL top 13.

Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. In his recent games he was actually very good at making metres out of our end. For a shorter winger, he is very strong and often made significant metres. Stick to the facts.

I didn't see him play but I'm not surprised that he played well. He should have been fullback instead of Mason in NRL and probably is a lot better than Mason in KOE.

I think Luke Laulilli could be a very good centre. He lacks size, but is extremely powerful and is becoming an extremely good tackle buster.
He is a work in progress with his defensive reads, but very strong in one on one defensive contact.

Well summed up Vicious.

When he receives a quick play the ball he can be good for a scoot as he has decent acceleration. usually we have slow play the balls and he's receiving the ball under pressure. He needs to be able to still make the dirty metres himself, like Skelton can.
As do Tavana, Makasini etc.
If we're living from inside out own 40 our backs have failed us.

If he were at the Storm, Panthers, Roosters or Broncos be wouldn't have even played first grade, and wouldn't be close to selection. He has potential, but he's not a winger due to his height. Centre? Maybe, but the smaller centre in the comp. He'd need a few years playing centre in Cup to get his body to a stage that he's ready for a crack at first grade. But that's ok. Debuting at 20-21 is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. We are just despery for outside backs so we don't let out players develop.

His body is currently best suited to fullback but his game is better for the outside backs.
