I like Fonua too, he offers a lot going forward and changed the Rovers game late on

I was at the catalans home game and appreciate what you're saying about the right side in general, Pryce is another conversation all together

I just think Fonua would be more valuable as a winger, with his go forward, similar to Talanoa. Centre is a difficult position to defend in, why I think Yeaman has been so valuable this season and I personally don't think Fonua has been defensively smart enough this year with his goal line defence. I thought Logan was making better choices up until a bad game against Wakey and I think he could make a positive impact on the right.

On the plus side how tight is the left hand side? virtually nothing gets through there






The referee's indecision is final

Atm fonua offers more than Logan. IMO think Pryce is the weak link and time to give tuimvare a run at stand off

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


No he doesn't. Pryce comes out n ball watches and does nothing by which time it's too late for Fonua to cover for him. Fonua blasted him as well for it on the way to stand under the posts. Pryce who ain't short on mouth just pretty much accepted it

This was said when he first signed, he'had a few good games but is inconsistent.

This is exactly why his defensive failings (at Centre) get overlooked by some. Same for Talanoa.

I'm guessing that isn't what you meant to type????

SL teams seem to pass/attack from right to left, it's players natural way of passing, making most teams right side defence more exposed, making more tackles & having most of the plays finishing that way.

Logan has the potential to be much the better attacking threat, but defensively didn't look great though acknowledge that the issues down that side weren't all down to him.
MF is overweight/unfit and not a patch on his NRL form. Very dissapointing tbh.
Michaels Is still the best all round centre we have and I hope he's injured because it's a travesty that he's being left out the side at the moment.
I wouldn't be unhappy at Logan getting anither go at the expense of Fonua
