Dear Richie Fa'aoso:

[Frederick]

I <3 you.

Love,
Fred

 

[Spot On]

Yeah, I've taped the game but heard the ABC boys crowing about him this arvo. Bennett will improve his game out of sight. He'll deliver that sort of stuff every week. WOW!

 

[Pedge1971]

Was brilliant when he sat Pearce on his @rse! He keeps showing up week after week and doing the hard stuff. Worth his weight in gold particularly with all the other forwards that need to be carries week after week.

 

[Apey]

His handing has improved so much, which was his biggest weakness at one stage.

He is the Uate of our front row.

 

[Whats Doing]

Just one word - Brilliant

 

[Newynut]

Dan Tolar had a good game too.

 

[Adsy]

Massive man crush!

 

[Joker's Wild]

Hell, even AK was good today

Richie is our Gallen-Lite

 

[Allstar Knights]

Richie was a bloody beast today and has really made the starting position his own, in the last month. I'm gonna come out and say he will play all 3 games for QLD next year.

Scott...Civoniceva...Shillington...Taylor...Myles...Parker...Thaiday...Lilyman.

Faas is a quality player but he's got as much chance as me of making the QLD team next year,

 

[RHCP]

Faas is better than Lillyman.

 

[jonno_knights]

Myles, Parker, Thaiday, Taylor are more backrowers then props in QLD eyes.

Petero is a possibility to hang them up.

Hannant/Scott are locks. Shillington is most likely to get a spot. Just depends on whether they go down a hybrid prop for the 4th position.

If a few injuries strike, he wouldnt be too far out of the picture, just like he was in 2009

 

[Allstar Knights]

Potentially, Richie can be anything. I hate to throw the Wayne card around, but you would imagine he'd be an even fitter and stronger player next year. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops.

If Fa'aoso can have these sort of performances next year, and consistently - He will find himself a bench spot in that QLD side.

 

[aqua_duck]

People throw the Bennett factor around but we should give some credit to the current coaching staff and in particular Brian Smith, they all helped turn Richie from journeyman reserve grader to rep quality prop

 

[MC DUI]

He delivers quallity games when he doesn't focus so much on offloading the ball. He goes through phases where all he wants to do is hit it up then spin to chuck it out the back no matter whether anybody is even ready for it.

Today though was pure quality, he hit it up hard as ever and was committed to the run each time, if he bounced off and had the opportunity to offload he did it when it was worth while.

Great game!

Pardon me?

Always been a fan. Keep up the good work mate.

Who needs SBW when you have Faas? His flick to Lulia was quality. Maybe our CEO has been giving some private lessons to some of our players... Faas's flick was a perfect Gidley flick pass to Tahu!

 

[Serc]

He means they are locked in for the prop spots

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Can't believe he isn't contracted yet, Tui and Richie should be locked up and then we'll have a gun front row for the next 2-3 years IMO.

 

[The Joker]

I'm a little surprised other teams haven't started trying to court both Faas and Tui.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Think Tui's got another year to run, but by extending it now we could probably get a big discount.

Richie is an absolute must IMO.
