I rate him very high and he has got us back into game son more than one occasion this year. Ill say it. HUGE loss.

Couldn't agree more mate, the way Peek and Cannings have played this year, they just aren't fit to lace Fuifui's boots. He is a MASSIVE loss, and we can't replace him. I really hope they appeal this injustice.

I know it goes against the grain, but I think Fui is over rated. YES he is a good impact player and I like him. But he ain't the be all and end all. Peek or Cannings WILL get the job done.

I disagree, fui has changed the whole meaning of an impact prop/second row. He has that extra bit most people lack.

UTE I rate him too. Just not as high as some.

They are appealing it. Just announced. Well will be.

Very disappointed according to Fairfax. Fitzy is not happy apperently.

Waste of time

What a disgrace.

I have as much respect for the judiciary as I do for paedophiles. NONE.

Sounds like they ignored the evidence.

Appeal Fui

Fui has been on fire in his last 5 matches. He's been averaging 160m coming off the bench! Most of our forward pack consists of workhorses and Fui complemented them really well as the metre eater. I don't really rate Peek. He just doesn't make enough metres and this is important against teams like St George. If we don't win field position it's tough to win. Cannings has performed well below expectation this year. His attack hasn't been great and his defence has been even worse. This is disappointing considering the money he is on. Is it just me or has Cannings been in alot of the losses we've had this year? Against Brisbane Fui was absolutely battering them and it was only a matter of time till we scored. I hope for the best though but this is a huge loss.

I'm not. I'm saying I did think that it was Justice. I didn't think it was worth 9 weeks, but you have to carry the previous offences into the equation. A 5-6 week penalty would of done me, but you guys shouldn't be worried with the back up players you guys have.

 

[bluenwhite]

that doesn't even deserve 2 weeks..

 

[Macca_]

Don't disagree at all lucablight. Had Cannings been there while the team is playing like they are at the moment, who's to say he wouldn't be doing the same thing.

I'm not saying Fui hasn't been playing well. Just saying he can be replaced. We have the depth. Out of the 17 that played last week, he'd be one player I don't have a problem loosing. Could be a lot worse.

Yeah it wasn't worth 9 weeks. 3 at the most IMO. But as you say it's his prior record that made it 6 weeks. Then the decision to defend cost 3 more.

 

[El Diablo]

C'mon Fairfax said they showed he never even made contact with his head. Fui should never of been charged.

 

[Kornstar]

If they appeal he will get off, Dunley spat at Marsh, yes he spat, no if's or buts, however he got off because the appeals commity is a true court and they have to PROVE that Fui made contact with the head......as there is only one angle, they cannot prove he hit him in the head, we can assume but we cannot say for sure without proper evidence, they do not have it therefore he has to get off!!!!

They crapped on in the Dunley appeal that there were were insufficient camera angles
and they had like 4, Fui is a shoe in to get off if they let him appeal.

Good to see Fitzy fire up about the right things for once!!! Fui is a MASSIVE loss, he strikes fear into other players and he has changed many games with his prescence, we can win without him but i would prefer to do it with him.........

You can't really go on hypotheticals. Apparently Cannings was poor in premier league anyway. You keep talking about depth but I really feel the term "depth" is overused. Depth simply refers to how good your stop gap solutions are going to be. To maximise the chances of winning a premiership we need to have the best possible team on the park. You don't win premierships with a team of stop gap players.

We're always bragging about how much depth we have but the fact is when we had Morrison, Vella, Wagon and Grothe out we struggled against lower sides like the Raiders and the Knights. Anyone is replacable but we are losing ALOT in terms of ability with Fui out. I think we are underestimating this.

I know hey. It is interesting cause the only tv angle we see really looks bad for him. Did they have another angle? Wouldn't think so or it would have been showed.

They may have 'showed' it but the guys that matter didn't see it that way. Hopefully if they appeal they get somewhere but don't like the chances.

 

[Bazal]

F***!!!!! That's a farce. Sure, he deserved to be suspended, don't get me wrong, but 9 goddamned weeks?? Bloody ridiculous, had Barnes not been falling Fui would have smashed him in the chest and peoplewould be saying what a great hit it was!!

 

[El Diablo]

I thought Fairfax said they had still camera shots. Now if that's true how can they justify their decision??

Farce

Don't get me wrong. I'd prefer to see Fui out there this weekend. And reports on Cannings in premmy league are conflicting. Some say yes some say no.

And why is the term depth overused? We have 2 minor premiership sides and a 3rd in flegg. We do have depth, better than most sides.

Obviously to maximise the chances of winning a premiership we need to have the best possible team on the park. Depth is what you look at when someone is unavailable. ie Hindy and Fui. To be able to throw Wagon back in with Cannings, is good depth.

You changed some....

So because the Raiders and Knights beat us that somehow detracts from our depth? I'd love to win every game too, but it's not possible, especially the way the comp is now.

Just on the Raiders, did you notice our backline when we flogged them a few weeks back? Depth!

As I said earlier I believe the word depth is overused. When we had Morrison, Vella, Wagon and Grothe out we struggled against the lower sides in the comp in Newcastle and the Raiders.
