The Official 'Give Aku a Game' Thread

You are right AK, it ain't even an opinion, no-one could argue that right now Hayne owns Uate!
 
K4P maybe you should try and get to some Fiji world cup matches, surely Uate will get a run with them ?
 
I was angry that i can't have Aku in my squad even if he isnt playing id have him in there. As plain stupid as that sounds, i prefer to call it "Out of my way Commitment"

Just have him ready for the Debut ey? ;)

And Vuna hasnt been scoring many points on Fantasy! He's in my 25 but not my 17, and hes been the bad performer out of my team...
 
Yeah, But seriously when he makes his debut and scores a couple of trys and gets like 60 points im going to be annoyed they dont put him in. because he would be my capt and there fore would of gotten 120 points.

Yeah, same here. Just took him out of the 17. I'm actually not doing too bad in fantasy game. 2nd in my league with 893 points last week.
 
Not today I wouldnt have been. He got injured though so he might be out. That could just mean Naiqama to the wing, Lulia & Mad Dog centres and Aku might not even get a run either!
 
As i said to Emmanuel

I highly doubt Brian Smith would put someone into the side after back to back losses, especially when that person's debut has been so anticipated.
 
All I have to say is I can't wait to see him play but do not know what all the hype is about.

Knights still control Fate of Uate :Smith

Newcastle Knights coach Brian Smith has reassured Fijyer Akuate that he
is still a big part of the club's plans.

Uate, the 20 year-old winger who is yet to play in the NRL but is rated
by many as a future superstar,is a free agent at the end of the season.
The Knights re-signed Kiwi import Cooper Vuna to a new two-year deal
last week, having recently extended their deal with James Mcmanus for a
further three seasons.

In addition ,they already have Wes Naiqama and Luke Macdougall on their
books,both of whom are capable of playing on the wing as well as
centre.

Despite their well-stocked roster of outside backs ,Smith remains
extremely keen to retain Uate and indicated the youngster was not far
away from making his top-grade debut.


"His professional attitude,and the way he's approaching his training
over the last two or three months ,suggests strongly that he's really
getting himself properly ready to play,and not just training on his
talent ,"Smith said.
"He's hardened up his attitude,he's hardened up his body,and he's
getting ready to play to meet the tough test that is in the NRL."


Smith said the Knights would bide their time before making Uate an
offer but admitted that meant rival clubs could soon start circling
Newcastle's fastest player.

"They could,"Smith said.
"But we've spoken to his manager ,and Aku himself is fully aware of how
we're feeling about it and I don't think he wants to go anywhere."
"We're pretty keen to assess him.It's only recently that he's adopted a
much better attitude towards being a professional player, and he's
showing the benefits of that already.
"We think he needs a little more time before we make a decision ,and
there's a possibility that we won't be able to match what other clubs
come up with.
"But I'm sure Aku would tell you he's enjoying his football where he
is, and he's just waiting for his chance to show us.He's likely to get
that fairly soon,I would think."

Still one of the most anticipated debuts of all time. The tension is killing me.
