Samuela Fainu #280

[Fish88]

I think if you watch Kikau highlights since he’s returned, you’ll see how important he’s been to their revival. Getting Crichton on the ball has been a good decision also.

Burton also didn’t throw his toys out of his cot when moved from halves, which helps.

Exactly, Burton twice the player Doeuhi is and didn’t have a sook and sit out when asked to move.

As much as I hate them, they at least have standards.

For Sam Fainu, I worry he will leave or we will pay massive overs and he will just regress being with us. He has potential, but for us, I’m not so sure it’s worth the absolute top dollar if we can’t get the best out of him.

Champion @Buttface, if I might quote Isaac Beacroft, our new Commonwealth Games 10,000m race walk champion:

'In your dreams, champ'​

You noticed I wrote he as in Doobs himself reckons?
Bcoz my dreams are of Doobs playing for anyone else.

I think he’ll play origin in 1-2 years and we need to sort our halves to get him going. Hopefully we match legitimate offers and only lose him if a team goes way overs, which PNG probably would.

I’d like to think we would too, but he like every other player in the team has regressed and don’t know if he will reach his potential with us.

Our coaching is horrendous

None of us know for sure what’s going on there. Something shifted recently and it ain’t good.

Are you telling me Doobs hogged the ball last game?

That just reminded me of a bet, @Halbrowne61 who gets the Cam Smith avatar?

I must have missed that BF ! 🤣🤣🤣
The avatar is yours guru .

Jousting sticks?

There’s no way I’m Cam smithing my avatar without loosing a bet.
I’ve only just got rid of my JL hat.

Double or nothing Doobs hogs it again next game. 😎

No, once bitten twice shy, and besides I dont mind if he hogs it coz none of the other backs are doing à thing!
Come on Adam.

Fair enough, each to their own.

He’s done for me, I see him as one of the most selfish players to play for our club and one of the main reasons for our continued crappyness.
We will never get off the canvas until we are team Tiger and not team Doobie.

Anyway there’s another thread for this.

Somebody do us all a favour and get big Sam over the line.
Both contractually and literally.
Get him the ball early and back him up.

Ive seen rumours that samuela wont be signing until the ban of his manager is lifted. That ban doesnt lift until 18th of December. So I guess that means theres a chance he goes to the open market november 1 and PNG get to make the offer of a lifetime. They are desperate for forwards and Samuela could play prop or backrow.

Quick, sign Manase to a T&T.

Or nothing happens until then because , he wants his manager in the room for price of mind he hasn’t missed anything .
I can’t see anyone under the age of 25 going to PNG . They will be dad’s army . Nearly to a man everyone they’ve signed have all won premierships or had high achievements in the game . Where as moving to a holiday camp is enticing .
Young single men will go mental there / the drinking culture will be outrageous . Just look at Mitchell at in Darwin on any Friday and Saturday night and have a good look around …. Only take away Mitchell st , and add one probably well guarded nightclub /bar/pub within perimeter and attended by mostly expats either in mining or now nrl and those who hang on.
I cannot see too many single men going there . You have to remember what it was like when you were 22 , getting amongst it .
Any players they do , will be getting out of their contracts early , at the very least .

Throwing your toys out of the cot only works at the Tigers. Funny about that.
