Quote: Sheldon "He wasn't, he showed flashes of very good play mixed in with inconsistency, poor reads in defence and a few important errors.
If he was that good Bellamy wouldn't be playing Chase Blair in the centres.'"
We'll agree to disagree on Fonua.
The bit about Cheyse Blair is irrelevant though, you're always going to have to balance the cap when you have Smith, Bromwich, Cronk & Slater on your roster. The fact they signed cast offs like Blair & Ryan Morgan is testimony to that. I'd hazard a guess that we were willing to pay Fonua a good chunk more than he'd have been able to command at Melbourne at the time. Much like he'll be getting offered massively improved terms if he were to return to the NRL next season. He didn't come to Hull for the sunshine.
