Needs to get his fire back, once he does hell be fine, although im worried that maybe the injuries and surgery are playing a part too, hes looked sluggish and gassed pretty early in his game time. fingers crossed for him and everyone he can turn it round, the old Makali would be a massive asset.

A fit and on form Makali is what we need if we are to take a s/l scalp in the CC and get to another GF

We will need all the big names playing on top form.

I am quietly confident he will come good.

Not sure how many times he trains but going from full time training to part time may not be enough for him perhaps, just a thought.

he needs sending out on loan to get his match fitness back, he didn't play much last year and missed preseason so he needs game time, if hes not in our 17 get him out on loan for a month, weren't some more of our players supposed to be going to Rochdale?

I certainly hope so, I paid £175 for his kit and would like to see it get a few appearances.

lol ouch. Im sure he will come good. He showed against Widnes away a few glimpses of his power.

It's all part of the grand plan. We peaked far too early last year, and this time we're going to at our best at the business end of the season. Here's hoping(!), and for what it's worth, I'm enjoying life as a Fax fan in the Championship much more than losing (nearly) every week in SL (1998 apart).

a few people keep saying they dont want to go into super league and i think they are kidding themselves.

i mean how can you be happy that we are very unlikely to never get to wembley again? and thats what will happen stuck in this division

i understand enjoying winning games and seeing good rugby (which we all know is more enjoyable to watch in this division) but it can be done just look where clubs like hull and hull kr have been since they went up and then theres huddersfield who have been to 2 finals and i think will win the super league in the near future

Makali looked good today. Took the ball in great made a few breaks, no errors either. Might be just coming good.

The Cumbrian Commentator didn't seem to think so "Aizue gets knocked down again". However Makali could have bagged 3 and that commentator would still have spoke bad of him.
