Dear Richie Fa'aoso:

[jonno_knights]

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!

He means they are locked in for the prop spots

Yeh, locks as in guarenteed a position in the front row barring injury. :lol:

 

[Frederick]

Richie is off-contract??? He is an absolute must keep!

 

[aqua_duck]

I'm pretty sure Faas and Tui are tied up for next year at the very least

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Hmmmmmmmm just visited the other place, both he and Tui are here til 2012 atleast.

 

[TooheysNew]

Aqua just said that.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Aqua just said that.

Thats not what she said!

 

[RABK]

Yeh but we suck, the other place haz gots da saucez.

 

[Stick]

Article in the Newcastle herald discussing his future, but I can't post it because I'm not esteemed enough. Apologies if it's old news for the local novocastrians.

It would make my year to see him really hit his straps and stay with the club. He's no local but he's symbolic of the Knights that I support. Prone to an error but always threatening a highlight-reel-worthy play.

Can he fit in Wayne's monotonic gameplan?

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I'd love for him to be re-signed. I've felt his best position is as an impact player off the bench, as he's got decent footwork, a reasonable offload and plays with aggression. However now we have Snowden, I feel Fa'aoso starting is a benefit to the team. The reason for this is that the opposition can't just focus all their attention on Snowden, as Fa'aoso will be able to take advantage of this.

It's been a long time since the knights had a two pronged attack in the front row. I miss the good ole days when Harragon and Butterfield would work in unison to get the team going forward, followed by a quality dummy half scoot.

I think Korbin Sims will be in the prop rotation by the end of the year, and I also think Zane Tets and Alex McKinnon will be props by next year. Richie might battle to keep his spot by next season.

 

[Joker's Wild]

McKinnon needs to put on weight if they are going to move him to the front row. He looks way too light imo, especially in the legs

He's 19 and filling out more and more.
He has the heart of a prop and by the time he is 20 or 21 he will be the size of a prop.
Snowy was a 103kg second rower at 19 with a similar build to McKinnon. Now he's a 114kg prop.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I agree with that mate. Most young fellas have grown into their full height by 19 but have aways to fill out. Makes sense why most of the top line props are all older

 

[God-King Dean]

In their tongue he is Dohvaki'in - Dragonborn!

Fa'aoso Dah!

 

[Yosh]

Love the Faas but he is too inconsistent. Bately saw him against the Storm. I don't think he should be a starting prop for a premiership winning side but if he takes his game up a notch, he'll be devasting.

Fa'aoso Dah!

I spat coke everywhere. :lol::lol::lol:
