I think it will work with Mahe….he has fought so hard to get back and then he lets his professionalism slip and he is back to where he started. Fringe first graders should never be late for anything.

It won’t be the reason we win or lose. If we don’t control the ball and lose the ruck we will lose.

Look, I’m as much of a fan of his as anyone else, I can understand why people are annoyed. But let’s get real, we’ve won one game with him in the side this year. It’s pretty melodramatic to think not only will we lose without him, but also get lapped.

Not saying we’ll lose because he’s not there, Penrith are a good team and we could lose regardless. But you’d have to think our chances of winning are better with Fonua there.

We have managed to win without Fonua so don't Panic
If Packer is playing I am confident.

The last game we won without Fonua was against a crap Manly team.
We're not as good as we were at the start of the season. And every other team is better than they were at the start of the season.
Not saying Fonua is the only reason we won or that we can't win without him but, we need every advantage we can get to win games atm.

The Fonua thing, I think is more than just setting high expectations and culture.
It also reinforces positive attributes on-field. It might sound like a stretch, but a player who thinks he can come late to training and not put in, can easily become a player who thinks he can breeze through a game and still get his paycheque and FG spot. That's part of the broader argument about having depth, to be able to penalise people who don't put in on or off the field and still field a decent team.
It's not just about money with footballers, there is the pride / ego / career aspect of playing regular FG, so I support a dumping as opposed to a fine. Sure you can fine a bloke 10K but when he might be on 200+K, per year, it can still be change to some of these guys.
Also with depth, like the Aussie cricket sides of years gone by, if you drop out of the top side and your replacement performs, you might not find yourself back in it.
