I'm sure he'll player where ever he is put , but his interview with James Graham,he said he wants to play 5/8 and couldn't see himself playing lock.

Weird comment that , on his road to redemption , The standard will play were im needed would have been more of a fitting statemant

The difference is we know he can perform well at NRL level. Importantly, his mates know he can perform and at least one of them has approached Marshall as was detailed in an article. I wish him all the best because at his best, he brings skills ideally at the No 13 position which many sides do not possess.

He hasn't played at all for a year I think. He has barely ever played 13 so it's a whole new position, and he is lighter then ever meaning he probs can't play back row as he isn't a hard nut type player.

I hope he turns out great but he is well behind the 8 ball I wouldn't be playing him in cup U til he shows he can.

Isnt it refreshing we have a bloke with a world of potential willing to play for peanuts because he wants the opportunity with our coach and team.

We arent privy to the conversations he had with Benji, so lets not assume he isnt open to playing certain positions. The game has changed alot this year, who knows what Benji has floated.

Looks like PVL will get his $5b deal

Foxtel, Nine win NRL rights in massive Australian sport media deal

The $5 billion deal would keep the sporting code with its current media partners and hand the NRL more money than the AFL’s rival arrangement.

Good and bad news..Good to see the game getting a very good deal and hopefully the grassroots of the game are not forgotten in this windfall….Bad news, channel nine get to continue their rubbish presentation for a few more years

Good cash injection to invest wisely and future proof the game

Let’s just wipe the Pascoe / Lee era from our history

That’s an understandable request.

To be fair to him was that interview done before benji throw him a live line Iam sure benji said we need u where ever

I would give Moors a top 30 for next year and would tell him have a great offseason and in February if you tick all the boxes it's your watch the kid fly special talent

And would give him a taste last three games this year 10 to 15 minutes a game if we are out of 8 contention

I saw a tackle of his the other week I know it's only lower grades but he whacks them hard

No. Absolutely not. He's still just a skinny kid. A couple of decent games against weak flegg sides means nothing.

Players have to EARN their promotions and contracts. Development is right for him, and if he keeps working hard he might get a few games towards the end of next season.

Just hope all these early.returns arent being rushed compromising potential recurrence

Of course they are... 🤦🏼‍♂️😢

Would not surprise me if Shannon Gallant is monitoring the situation of Suli Pole at the Storm., brother of Fonua.

This week he's named on the bench for Jersey Flegg at the Storm.

tbh I haven't seen much of him but he would certainly bring height & size to our front row stocks.

I'd throw a development contract his way

Rubbish
McIntyre, Tatola, TeMaire, Addo Carr, Paseka, Kautoga, Ray Stone…
are just a few I can think of in the bat of an eyelid that would improve our team not just then, but even still now

Yes, but most of those left during the Jason Taylor era, ie all of them except McIntyre, and he was responsible for not only juniors leaving

In an earlier interview.

Fanua said that he's trying to get his little brother to the Tigers.

That would be awesome

Sounds like anti-tampering to me.

Surprised they got the $5B without the gambling companies directly involved next year
