Sione Finau signs with Raiders - not sure why he was unwanted by us

Williams

Tamale 2.0

Not sure in what regards you mean. Attacking wise both ok. Though defending both very poor!
another player off our books is a good thing to bring up younger juniors & or Ramsey getting upgraded (if possible)

After listening to Haran sounds like Chevy Stewart is not high on our radar

 

[InFlannoWeTrust]

Finau gone.
guess it opens up another spot in top 30.
someone mentioned the other day, we only had 4 spots left. Guess this is now 5 spots. With hopefully more to follow!!

Supercoach cracked the shits with him after ANZAC Day as if that woeful effort was all on him.

Depending on health, attitude, and form, I'd move him to 17 on the bench. He could make a good edge forward for 20-30 minutes a game.

Agreed possm. I watch most games, most weeks and I just don’t see him do what other centres do. Last week missing a couple of key opportunities to pass to Sloan who had space (and speed) outside him is a great example. I want to like him but he just seems out of his depth. Short spurts might be the answer.

All rookie outside backs have defensive issues…

Both Finau and Tamale will fix their defence at the Raiders

Club is a total mess. We lose another quality player. I’m done with this club and the merger

He wasn't under contract for next year so it doesn't open up another spot.

Ramsey will fill a position in top 30 next season no big deal on Finau leaving.

Sione Finau was a keeper. With the right coaching he could have been the fast, athletic winger we are looking for.

Not that long ago he was scoring every time he touched the ball in the charity shield. How exciting was it with him outside Holmes. Fast forward six months and he is lost like Bostock, Garrick, Tamale, Saab...

I'm too over it to be upset anymore...
Just sit back and watch this club capitulate.

Not sure what anyone else thought of the young winger , but I really rated him ....... Fast strong , this will be another that will come back and bite us on the backside ......

He has pace and plays with effort.

A combination that most of our remaining wingers don't.

Will be missed...

This doesn’t excite me to be honest 3 years out the of the NRL

Carryannis on the ABC saying there is no guarantee Douehi will leave the Tigers.
Also said Finau will be given a shot at playing in the centres by Stuart at the Raiders.

Coming first and already looking at creative ways to improve their team for next year with youth.

Then there's us who are linked with everyone, and sign jack all...in fact we let Jack go.

Correct. Even the experienced outside backs have their defensive lapses. Eg Turbo Tom last week when he got brushed aside.

So another young fast up and coming player gone to greener pastures.

Gees our club is a DISGRACE !!!

didn’t really notice any defensive issues w tamale this year. in fact i thought he was prob top 3 wingers in NRL before he got injured.
