Samuela Fainu #280

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Was impressive in his first official game. Can anyone confirm if he played in the middle or on an edge? Only had a few runs but made 38 tackles (3 missed). Seems to have the aggression we need in our forward pack.

He played mainly in the middle, only moved to the edge after the To'a injury (which forced Bateman to centre).

 

[Todd Packer]

He's a great buy.
It'll take him a while to control his temper but he's one we should be keeping long term.

I must admit I thought he was only bought to get Latu but he looks the goods.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Maybe Scott Fulton can spot talent

Good call Todd. Don't want him to become too domesticated, though. God knows we need someone with a bit of animal in them.

Sam is going to be great. Latu probably greater. Even Sione is coming along. The could all end up as benchies in our side.

 

[Spartan117]

Imagine if Stef and Klem ran hard like Samuella.

Keep it up

Haven’t seen anyone say it yet so i’m just gonna say it… WOW this guy is the real fkn deal. He has an aggression/cockiness that I haven’t seen from a WT’s player in years but the best thing about it is he backs it up !!!! He’s been a game changer coming off the bench for us this season.

 

[Wiz]

Agree. He is already one of our best.

I see Latu replacing Galvin the next 2 games, and Sione making the bench next game..

 

[TYGA]

He’s a beast with Pole, Uto we have some real power up front and they are all young.

I love Pole, but Goddamn, he had zero discipline today.

Huge impact off the bench. Seems to have a big motor. Is playing in the middle in the NRL at the young age of 20 and is handling it well. Has origin written all over him.

 

[Kaito]

Throws himself at everything...he was brilliant!

 

[BalmainJnr]

Has the aggression and the swag. Lots to like.

 

[tuff tiger]

Great Game - will only get better

 

[Telltails]

Lead the team song today with IPap - he is a Tiger

 

[Moh]

Just awesome, and he has forced the more senior forwards to lift there game.

I think you're right, Moh. Could be a factor in Stef's improvement.
