Faas was solid throughout, but his handling ability ( or lack thereof ) was more than well known when he signed with the Knights.
I tend to believe that taking away the handling errors, Faas is more effective than either Tolar or Royal while on the field and carting the ball up.
Its the kinda thing we have to live with. If a first grade footballer has poor ball security after all these years, and has since his junior career - we are little chance of changing that now.
We might have to live with him having poor hands in exchange for him being one of our better go forward men.
I think we are resigned to times like the last 2 weeks - a matchwinner one week, a scapegoat the next.
Its going to be up to Smith if he is prepared to roll the dice with Faas.
Personally I think he brings more to the team than his handling errors take away.
As for Vuna, he did all the hard work to score that try, and simple muffed the grounding up. Was very frustrated at the try McManus squandered early in the game. Alot of people seem to forget it. Naiqama was called for a forward pass ( which was questionable anyway ) , but it all would have been irrelevant had McManus been standing deeper like a good winger should be while in support. I think out of all the mistakes last night, that mistake p*ssed me off the worse because it was a simple error that directly led to a bombed try. You can defend McManus all you like, but Naiqama was not at fault with the forward pass. Maybe McManus stands flat in support to compensate for his lack of speed?
