Fonua use to do similar,especially in his first year with us so nothing new.There is the odd time where he will shoot the line but also he has no choice but to cover the gap on his inside
It's the way the wingers are told to defend. They call it a wrap around defence. The winger jams in to either make the tackle or to make the pass difficult, then the centre and full back rush out to the winger. When you are defending an overlap it is undoubtedly the best method, because if you just hold your ground you will get picked off, you have to make it hard for the centre. The issue is when wingers start doing it when there is no real danger.
Faraimo was at fault for the 1st. Griffin had that tackle under control and Faraimo had no need to commit. I can't blame him for the second though because we were already really stretched and he did what I would have tried to do in that situation.

As with Josh Jones this has been hinted at for a while so it would be good to see it confirmed. Hopefully this weekend.
Hugely respected in the NRL for his leadership both on and off the pitch. Exactly what we need. Great capture if true. Recruitment coming along nicely.
I noticed in the article it says Ligi Sao close to signing too, read hes got a big engine does alot of minutes and high workrate, could he be our loose forward replacement for Westerman , then we sign a prop too
4 overseas spots available Ligi Sao Joel Thompson Alex Glenn? New prop?
