Most of the tries on his youtube reel are walk ins from 2 metres out. He won't get many of those playing for us

Thanks, but I'll trust the people who watch him every week over you.

Not particularly worse than Lineham.

Let's hope their opinions are more valid than those who watch our players every week then

Surely that depends on where we plan on playing him? At Centre i'm worried, wing not so much.

I've got to say, Pearson's idea of a 'top quality outside back' is a lot different to mine.

Mine also but he can only be repeating what Motu/Radford tell him so who is to blame?

Well Radford was happy to let Crooks go because of his defensive weaknesses and often criticised Lineham's defence so I guess he must think Fonuha's defence is good enough.

bloody hell, have we now gone from crucifying a player when they sign for us but yet to play, to crucifying a player before they have even officially signed? its a wonder anyone signs for us

If a player looks on here for a true reflection of the fan base they're stupid!
