Yes, I'd not be offering Faraimo a new deal. Started really well in 2018 in terms of try scoring but struggled last year, not scoring until a late flurry in October. Also has a poor discilipnary record, four suspensions in his Hull career (from two reds and two yellows), I think.

Unsure on Ma'u. I'd probably see how he goes when he returns from injury.

He's been charged 3 times in total, 2 of them 3+ years ago.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Can’t see us using two quota spots on wingers next year.

M’au is a good player who I like, but I imagine he’ll be on a good wage, so that may come into it.

Looks like they’re working through the priorities and getting them done first.

You'd like to think we could resign him on reduced terms for another 1 or 2 years given his age and the fact he most likely wouldn't get another NRL club.

Keeping Griffin is a great resigning, he may be probe to the odd brain explosion but the work he does for us clearing our line is incredible.

Has been mentioned before that Mau has been a little disappointing.Also has had quite a few ankle/calf injuries.
Still a very strong player and what goes unnoticed is the amount of running he does in a match.
Apparently he is always near the top at around 8 km

Controversial opinion, but I'd try keep Fariamo and release fonua early...I imagine Fonua is on a large salary and takes up a quota spot, he's not been the same player second time round, his salary and quota spot could be used to improve the forward pack.

I’m still hoping Mahe comes good, he started off pants against the pies, but then looked more like his old self, and reminded me of how good he is/can be.

I’m not sure releasing him early would be practical as we would have to pay him off, then reinvest again,

I'd probably agree, but as said above, we'd have to pay Fonua off.

Is Bowden OOC, if so I wouldn't be keeping him either?

I imagine Radford would happily take fonua off our hands if we wanted given that he's signed him twice for FC before
