Richard Faaoso (spelling)

[The Eel]

Hi all

I am from Australia, and there are rumours over here that my club, the Parramatta eels are in talks with Richard.

Has anyone heard anything to this effect, and what can you tell me about him? Age, weight, height, strengths and weaknesses.

I would appreciate any info you can give me.

Thanks

He played for the Roosters in 05
Played most of the season off the bench
He looked like he had some potential, but had shocking hands and gave away penalties

Not a lot of Castleford games were televised this season. From the ever-reliable superleague.co.uk stats pages...

Richard Fa'aoso
Castleford
Date of Birth: 08/05/84
Weight / Height:
105kg / 182
Regular Position: Second Row

I saw him play for Tonga v Samoa recently, and thought he was the second best forward on the park (behind Solomon Haumono)? He's a good size and could handle front row when needed. Not scared in defence or in taking the ball up, noticed an occasional well-chosen offload as well. Didn't give away as many penalties or dropped balls as Fuifui on the day.

Decent young player.Don't think he is particularly blockbusting,but a workmanlike foward from what I can gather.

Thanks for your info guys.
