If Fonua was that good why did we get rid of him? And how long have we to wait for him to get going this second time around?

Tom Lineham hit with a 3 match ban.

Not been at his best for ages , Faraimo deserves his spot .

I loved Fonua in his first spell at the club, but these days I wonder if he's still got that X factor. Is it confidence? Did his injuries down under take a toll? Is it just a case of him taking a while to find his feet again? Whatever the problem is we have barely even seen a glimpse of the player he was before. I've been happy enough with him this year. He's worked hard for the team and has done ok, but nothing at all to get you out of your seat. Hopefully he does indeed explode soon.

I think Fonua was signed on the basis of his first spell, but my brother watches the NRL avidly and said at the time he was playing for Wests that he looked half the player he had at Hull and that we should avoid trying to resign him. I am beginning to think he was right and it is hard to justify him in the team over Faraimo at present.

Whilst Mahe hasn’t hit his best form yet, he’s looked strong fit and willing, I think he’d be unlucky to lose his place in the side, he has not really done anything wrong. Although It’s a good problem to have, choices.

Much as I like Mahe, he's not really impressed me so far. The effort may be there but he's far from the Mahe we knew before. Bureta deserves his chance and he will know that Mahe is waiting in the wings if he fails to impress. Good incentive scheme in my eyes.

A lot of Mahe's best games for us were in the centre, I wonder if consideration has been given to moving him to centre for this game and Carlos at 6. It worked well at Wembley 2016

In really like Mahe at Centre and always have
In his prime he’s wasted on the wing

spot on
