Fa'aoso ready to leave Knights

Not sure how true it really is because didn't he get rid of the guy at St George? We are being linked with Justin Poore. The question is...

Is Poore an upgrade on Fa'aoso?

Fire away everyone.
 
He didnt get rid of Poore, it was more the fact Parra offered 400k/season for him.

Poore had his best ever season in 2009 with Bennett in charge.
 
What's all this talk of small guys, absolute garbage Fa'aoso is 184cm, Gallen is 180cm, Tolman is 183cm, Hannant is 183cm, Scott is 185cm. All the form forwards are shorter then Fa'aoso and we continue to talk about our forwards being "too small"

Weight not Height

James tamou, Sam kasiano, Keith Galloway, Aaron woods. All in the 190s

Faas doesn't make the metres but he can make a line break and is a threat on the goal line. He has always played his guys out evidence being the manly game where he was out there concussed

I couldn't remember when he signed etc but if it was 2009 then it's a good thing. I couldn't recall if he played under Bennett.
 
Don't get me wrong i like Faaoso but i would like to have Snowden , Mason and at least 1 more big guy 115kg or more. I had hoped it would be Laurie but it doesnt look like that will happen.
Hey i just think Hilder 99 kg is to small a good bench player but thats all ,Faaoso 105kg, Tuimauvave 105 kg , Edwards104kg even Snowden 107 kg and then along comes old out of shape and practice and unwanted 115kg 6'5" Mason who in his first game while on the field was the best forward we had and after 4 games was starting prop and by FAR our best forward ....look at Mason if its not size what is it ...
As i said the other day our guys standing with Paul Harrigan looked tiny i think we need a couple of bigger forwards and lets be honest when was the last time our pack was feared .
If they were making the meters like Gallen or breaking the line like Hannant or making the tackles those to do then none of us would be writing this . There's an old saying in boxing (A good big guy will beat a good little guy every day of the week).
 
Did you just make that old saying up Ethan? :lol:

I definitely agree we need at least one more big guy in our pack. The problem with Faaoso is he has a few strong hit ups but that's all he's good for. He has great impact but it only lasts for 10 minutes. I still love him and hope we keep him though!

Rooster fans are saying Tolman is going to be traded for Perrett - and before the mid-season deadline. Now that is interesting. What's more interesting is, why the hell we aren't trying to get Tolman?

Oh and i left 104 kg Costigan in that other whinge i had lol
 
We have had some great small blokes running around for us over the years. Butterfield, Grief, many more. Not sure why Fa'aoso's height and weight have been brought into it
