Fonua has been suspect the past couple of weeks in defence. He has made a few poor reads allowing Gibson and the dragons to score some simple tries.

Jack Logan was dropped for a lot less earlier on in the season. Is it time to give him another go in the first team? I think so.

I get the feeling that Radford is just waiting for Carlos to return to fitness and he will fill in at right centre, with Fonua dropping to the wing, even though I think Curtis deserves the wing spot.

I like Fonua and think he's offered us a lot going forward but I also rate Logan and think he's been treated a little harsh

Well you make a good point but I don't think our issues in defence at that side are all down to him and there's not much wrong with his attitude to his team mates!

Defending on the flanks is all about trust and I get the impression Fonua doesn't trust Pryce and over protects him which just causes more problems for Naughton who has to follow Fonua and leave his winger free.

Only played a few games together, can only get better with time, as an outside back you should always defend tight on your inside man, players are taught to defend inside then slide out as attack goes wide, it's about reading the plays more then anything.

Agree on Pryce. Radford hinted that Carlos will be back for the Cup game. I think he'll go straight to stand off.

He is really a winger playing centre, so learning different defensive roles. I reckon as a Niger his defensive style is likely to be show them the outside and then put them in row z. At centre he is getting moved around.

You see tries against catalans? I watched them. Not even by stretching my imagination can I lay blame for any on him. At a stretch I can blame 1 on noggers. Pryce defo the 1st. But generally the whole right is slightly off. Which Fonua covers pretty well in today's paper

Yes I have seen the catalans try's. Fonua does make a poor read for Andersons first. This isn't a Fonua bashing and I agree that the right side needs to work a little better together.

But the point here is that Logan got dropped for less and I think he deserves an opportunity again

You are making assumptions here.

Check out the Catalan away game on You Tube. Notice their tries (both Pat Richards) were scored in almost identical plays to the ones Richards scored at the KC on Friday. Fonua was not playing in France. Its a weakness on that side for us with Catalans have exploited. To point the finger at Fonua is hash to say the least.

I like Fonua, he runs the ball in with real purpose.

Personally I think Pryce has been a little ineffective and this has a knock on effect to our attack (Sneyd doing all the creating) and our defence, as has been pointed out on this thread.
