[Meth]

First I've heard

WHAT THE f**k IS HAPPENING TO THE WARRIORS!!!!!!!

 

[Meth]

"The scrum-half, Stacey Jones is earmarked for Hull, while the winger, Henry Fa'afili, is set to join Warrington."

the reason I take this as reliable is because the bloke who wrote it, Dave Hadfield, is about the most respected rugby league writer over here and not one to make things up

Thanks mate

First I've heard of Henry's possible departure.

Very worrying.

 

[NZ Warrior]

The English must be seeking revenge for us taking Betts & Platt all those years ago.

 

[nqboy]

One good player and one dud in each direction, about even I reckon.

 

[Jiffy]

how do you think Henry would go in Super League

 

[Meth]

He'd go fine.

Shontayne Hape still going well over there?

 

[nqboy]

Big, strong, fast and scary, the poms'll love him.

 

[Jiffy]

Hape's had some injuries and the Bulls haven't had a great year so not as well as last year no, but still a useful player definitely

 

[AliN]

yes two broken arms so far hasn't he?

 

[Meth]

Fa'afili has 89 matches for 36 trys

NRL.com describes him as 'Small in stature but big in heart and reliability. Once a five-eighth, he is now recognised as a winger of great ability with his speed and impressive vertical leap. Isn’t scared to come inside to help out his tiring forwards either.'

 

[NZ Warrior]

Not enough adamantium in the diet

 

[nqboy]

Fa'afili - small in stature? They're kidding, aren't they? They must be thinking of Justin Murphy.

 

[Meth]

He's 175 cm and about 90 kg...certainly not big

 

[nqboy]

175cm? He looks as big as Meli on TV, I used to get them confused, two big fast scary wingers.

Nop, Henz isn't big, although you wouldn't call him small. Hes pretty average in hight but pretty solidly built. Meli on the other hand is a pretty big unit, and Sideshow Vatuvei's farkin HUGE.
