Fa'afili for Warrington Wolves

[EJS]

More money available under the salary cap :!:

Big fishing expedition for players must be underway :roll:

 

[NZ Warrior]

It bloody better be!!!!!!!

 

[Jiffy]

just looking round the forums a few people have said Fa'afili is shaky under the high ball? Is that fair? I thought he was alright in the Tests here under the high ball and jumped well!

 

[ozbash]

absolutely not.
one of henrys strengths is his ability under the high ball. hes great at pulling down kicks and scoring.

hope he stays here but if he goes, you guys are onto a real talent .

 

[Skinner]

Yeah, I hope Henry stays, he's always been one of my favourites.
He is safe under the high ball and he has a wicked turn of speed.
Providing he gets good ball service he can score a heap of tries.

One thing I've always liked about him is that when he is kicked down
to BC he never drops his lip, he doesn't spit the dummy, he just gets
on with playing his way back in.

Onya Henry

Not fair. He's probably one of the best under the high ball.

 

[NZ Warrior]

He's very competent under the high ball, both attacking & defending. Really gets up there.

 

[Murphdogg1]

He is my favourite player and i HOPE he doesnt go!!!!!

if he does ill just have to watch more superleague

Tremendous player, tremendous guy

U RULE HENZ!!!!

WARRIORS ALL THE WAY!!!

 

[Rudolph]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is true. He hasn't been treated very well this year.

 

[AliN]

Agree there Rudolph.

Maybe it'll be a different story now, I hope so.

If Vinnie stays at centre, the defence of Henry, Vinnie and Louie is as solid as any team on their part of the field. And with the two brothers beside him, I still reckon they'd be hard to stop on attack if they get the ball.

losing henry would be like losing stace.

i dont want to think about it.

That criticism is way off the mark. Henry is one of the safest players around under the high ball, and is also an excellent defender. He also has a high workrate and isn't afraid to come in and take a few hit-ups for his forwards. If there is anything to criticise him for it is the fact that he doesn't excel in either speed or tackle-breaking ability. He's got decent pace and strength but nothing amazing in either department so he can be contained fairly easily at times. He's best as a finisher close in diving for the corner or running onto bombs/grubbers.

hmm i think that old age is catching up on ya there boy :lol:

pre senile denial ?

maybe i should forget the "pre" :lol:

 

[Auckland4ever]

I've always wondered how he would have gone at 5/8. The one time a saw him play there(for Samoa) he showed good running & passing skills & was about the best player on the field. Admittedly the match was v NZ Maori, who on paper looked a good side, but underacheived by quite a lot.
Seems to me he's under used & has to always try & make something out of nothing, basically because he never gets put into space.

Never forget Pre. By God, he would've won at Montreal.

 

[NZ Warrior]

What's everyone's fascination with Prefontaine???

I've seen him on a couple of people's signatures, I don't get it personally. Was he against professionalism or did he just like things to remain amatuer. Didn't he turn down a big sponsership deal???

Or am I just missing the point completely. It was late when I saw a c-grade movie about him, give me a break.

 

[Jiffy]

did Fa'afili do some post try celebrations? I seem to remember him down on one knee with his arm outstretched or something, was that in a particular game or is it a regular thing with him?

How good did he play today??

It's amazing he goes as well as he does considering I don't think Anderson has passed him the ball all season.
