how anyone can look at fiomoihomo and make comparisons between him and the legend that is Tawera Nikau is laughable.....

It is not laughable he could lace nikau's boots .

Not a chance! Nikau was a true great!

Just like a certain Mr Rudder Faumuina came over with big raps, but like Rudder he played next to the best Scrum Half going at the time, I said before the season he could end up been "Rudder mkII" and so far this season he hasn't proven me wrong, he has been quite shambolic so far, and if he doesn't pick it up soon he wont be a Tiger next season.

At least hes not getting paid as much as rudder one would hope

S Jones, B ferres and Joe if all fit would be my back 3 of pack.

With the quota reducing by two, I doubt he will be anyway. Put it this way, it's either him or Evans to be retained and out of both, I'd pick Evans.

If there's any British centres available, Evans may be gone too, as good as he is, a younger British player with similar ability would be better imo. If there is nobody that fits that criteria available, then Evans would be good to keep as he is a very solid player, and with a better winger then Dixon outside him we will be sorted.

Next season I think we need:
Winger
Prop (Lynch?)
big impact second rower (Fa'aoso back if possible?)

Evans does not count on our quota does he? He has a british passport!!!

When we came back from catalan we lined up in eu passport holders line while all aussies and kiwis had to fill in visas.

Dunno with Evans. I recall that Bradford were peeved that they couldn't keep him, although I'm sure that's because he's classified as non-fed rather than quota.

Evans is the clear choice over Si by a country mile...... Evans is solid in both defence and attack.

Cannot see Si being in the team when Jones,Ferres and Westy are back fit......

As for Fa'asso would have him back in a heartbeat..... watched him play for Newcastle loads of times and he has gone from strength to strength.....not lazy anymore infact works his socks off and takes the ball in really hard, what has surprised me mostly though is that his support play is fantastic he is always up there when the Knights make breaks.......He is however a interchange player not a full 80 minute SR but I think that would fit in well interchanging with either Jones or Ferres as needed.....

Just seen the pass that put joe out of the game.
What an idiot just throwing it anywhere not even looking where he was passing the ball.
He needs to pull is socks up or ship out.

he will never ocme back to cas he hated every minute of it!!!

We can't blame Sione for what happened to Joe, he didn't have a good game but then neither did the majority of our other players.
I wish our vocal minority would get off his back and get behind him!
While ever he's a Cas player we should be cheering him on, making him proud to be pulling on the famous black and amber shirt!

I really do believe Sione will come good for us, it really does remind me of a similar situation with Vowlesy, he was given loads of stick by sections of our support as he struggled at first with us, but he went on to become a legend and there's every possibility that Sione could do the same. Maybe to compare him with Nikau was wrong, but when I first saw him pull on a Cas shirt, that's who he reminded me of, he looked the part then and I'm sure he can again, he just needs his confidence back and we should get behind him to try help encourage him!

There's no way Sione can be put in the same category as Rudder (stand off) who was made to look good in Oz because at that time he was playing alongside one of the best scrum halves in the game, whoever brought him over here didn't do their homework on Mr Rudder.

Did you see the way he just flung the ball anywhere, he saw the defence coming up to tackle him and just throw the ball away.
Joe had to rectify the situation and was hit with out the ball.
Sione wants to have some guts and take the ball in himself not throw it anywhere when he see's the defence infront of him.
