Fui probably the only player to have benefited from "the most gruelling off season ever".

His game time is certainly equal to most NRL props now.

It's a myth that his game time was below most props the past few seasons. Over 2009 and 2010 he still averaged around 40 minutes a game which is what most props do, he's averaging MORE than most props do at the moment with his longer stints.

Best prop I have seen play for the eels since I started following them seriously in the late 80's

I said ages ago he should be our hard running 2nd rower out wide and was terrific.
However, he needs Hayne on his side of the field.

However, Mannah has to play 60 mins. We look better with him on the field. He is not getting enough game time.

could be the missing link, Fui and Reni in the back rwo with one on each side of the field - definitely gives as some attack.

Also Allgood is developing nicely as a prop

I would stack the left with attackers

Reni, Fui, Willie Tonga, Esi Tonga and have Hayne pick and choose who he wants to get the ball.

I like the Bunnies left hand side and wish we could build up one.

Or have Sandow picking who should get the ball, with Hayne in that group you mentioned. Definitely going have some better attacking options next year.

Fui has been our best and most consistent player all year and the only player entitled to hold his head high tonight.

What an amazing game from FFMM last night.

The question has to be asked, have we completely under utilised him for the last few years?

He showed last night he can play plenty of minutes if he plays a bit wider so why the hell has he been playing 20-30 minutes a game. I think we have wasted him.

Time for a re-think. With Poore back - he can play up front with Mannah, Allgood and Shack. Fui and Hindy in the back row.

The Steam Train was in full force last night.

Felt bad the Parramattas Eels couldnt help him out last night.

Was close to being best on field... a mean feat for a team that got a flogging

I have said to put Fui out wide when I saw this happen sometime in 2010 and in the latter stages of 2009, he was running wide at centres and halfbacks.

However, it has never happenned because a) we lacked go forward or b) we have had injuries to our props.

If we can get him to work like Dave Taylor, WOW.

He has great hands. He can pass too. They talk about Scott as the best prop, I'd rather FUI any day.
