Samuela Fainu #280

[426Tlgerland]

This young man has settled in well and played verry well so far , love his work ethic , tackles , runs , he is a gun for us , money well spent if he is on $ 500 k hope it’s for 3 more years as he will become a big dollar player

 

[The Chad]

He continues to improve. He is the damaging backrower we lacked.

 

[Nadz4483]

Man he was a weapon for us today, that offload that led to the no try was sublime.... Kid is a freak...

 

[innsaneink]

Our best back rower since Gareth Ellis?

Potentially.
I know what we say here has little bearing in what happens to the team in real life just hate getting ahead of ourselves

He's very very exciting.. Extremely talented and one of those players when they get the ball I automatically move closer to the edge of my seat... TNT used to do that for me too... And as someone. Mentioned he's only just starting has so much more to. Learn. And get better

 

[Winston Churchill]

I think he said Since...
Fair point re Dwyer, I really wish he did not get injured.
Taupau should get a mention as well. he clearly was a beast and unleashed beast mode at Manly.
... But it's a sad list. No one has impressed since Gareth Ellis IMHO.

True, I missed the 'since' part. It was too close to the game ending, someone was cutting onions in the house, vision was impaired.

Since Ellis i dont think there has been anyone at all close to good enough to put on a list of good backrowers. Bateman and Mist havent lived up to their reputations and now Mist injured and off to Penrith next year, Sammy F should remain in the starting side until he signs with the Roosters.

Maybe Tupau if he stayed longer but he played 22 of his 45 games with the Tigers off the bench in prop rotation, named starting Prop 3 times and 20 as Lock. Wish they got that deal done and tied him up for 10 years with the potential he lived up to at the Eagles. Def needed his help through some shitty years. Bash brothers, Sue, Tupau, Gavet and Ava coming off the bench could have helped a lot more with the big 4 than benches made up of superstars - Idris, Tim Grant, Jack Littlejohn and Joel Edwards. yikes.

The backrow has been incredibly poor for the last 12 years, the best of a shit bunch, Rowdy, Josh Aloiai, Luke Garner, Ryan Matterson, Lucy Leilua ???? all piss poor compared to what Sam could be if he wants it.

The guy is going to be one of the best back rowers in the game. He’s becoming a game changer.

And without further adu, I’d like to present myself as leader of the Peoples Democratic elected Tito Santana Samuela Fainu Club. Note that we’re not taking on anyone else in fear of potential overthrow however are supportive for the co existence of other Samuela Fainu appreciation clubs.

Why do you call ipap Mist ?

Haha so true I honestly think they will stay long term

 

[Spartan117]

Who knew that this guy would turn out to be an absolute gun.

Great attitude, reliable and a genuine threat.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Why do you call ipap Mist ?

Maybe because it’s a mystery as to why he didn’t bring his form to the tigers

 

[weststigerman]

Love this guy.

I wasn't sure what we'd get based on the under 19s origin last year but I can't remember a more consistent second rower.

To think the clowns at NRL 360 carried on like we'd massively overpaid for him and his brother. I'll wait and see if they admit they were wrong.

His brother is rated much higher than him, just hasn't had a chance due to his hamstring issues.

I don't like to brag.




That's bullshit I do like to brag.
I had him tagged as a great signing from the beginning.

 

[Blocker1963]

I thought he was the best on the field, not only his hard running but workrate in defense, great effort

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I am in awe of this guy. What a weapon. I am excited every time he touches the ball. Him and Galvin have a great combination. You can tell that Lachie loves feeding him the ball. He always seems to be there running a hard line.

 

[TIGERS]

What a fruit salad of recruitment ideas this team is. F*#$Cked clocks tell the right time twice a day,,, although Fulton was a dubious appointment from an even more dubious Chairman, Samuela Fainu looks excellent value right now.

 

[Tigrr2]

Samuela is da man

Absolutely.. scary thing is I have seen highlights of Latu & Sam combo at manly. Guess that will be Luai's side next year.

Anyone that watched the trials and round one.

Saving tries with freak catches, chasing bombs , outrageous flick passes. He’s a cheat code.
