We haven't used the marquee allowance for either player

Wouldn't of thought Fonua was a marquee signing ?
He went home because he and his family couldn't settle.
What's changed ????

Where does it say that was the reason he left?

It was in hdm when he left..

He said ""I have always had ambitions to return to the NRL at some stage, but the timing now is important for my family and for us to be back closer to home", nothing about being unsettled.

I know they were expecting a new baby, perhaps that was partly the reason for their wanting to return home at the time. Anyway it will be great to see Mahe back, we have some really good exciting players coming in, Radders will have to get it right next year.

I wouldn't have thought so either, hasn't Pearson said we were using the marquee this year though, couldn't see any player other than Ma'u getting it

Think we still need a prop or two, we seem overloaded in the backs and if anything have struggled up the middle, one or two injuries and we look rather thin on the ground

I think the hope is that Bienek and Brown will be used more next year.

That gives us
