Quote: Dave K. "Some fair points Chris,
Persoanlly I'd play Fonua, as he is a better player than he is showing and I think he just needs a really good game to get his confidence back, so I'd go with.
Shaul
Faraimo
Connor
Carlos
Fonua
Mcnamara
Sneyd'"
As I say under normal circumstances I would agree that development comes first but right now its got to be about survival and the best way to help is by winning games. The game as a whole is in for a very bumpy ride over the next year or so and its not alone in that.
I agree Fonua is a better player than he is showing but again its catch 22 do we continue to play him and try and hope he finds his form at the risk of continued errors or sit him for a week to help him focus and work on his performance in training. Mahe Fonua on form is a real threat but so far since he returned to the club he hasn't looked anything like the player that left us to return to the NRL. Maybe having Carlos alongside him will help him with his defence in terms of being so wayward postionally but its the handling errors that are a concern and in particular the area of the field these are happening.
