Got to agree here, FPN played great for the kiwis, but the guy was a ded set turnstyle for us last year, Ive never seen him put a big hit on anyone either. Lima would eat him before breakfast.

I wouldn't be judging him on last year. How did the likes of Myles, pearce and Co. perform last year?

[Chook Norris]

I don't rate him that highly. But i will welcome his experience.. he's been part of that premiership dominating side for a while, so it can only be a good thing

[stsae]

He's only just turned 23

don't worry about Frank, he'll develop beautifully over trhe next couple of years

really nice guy too - as quite as a mouse

He does have age on his side I guess.

He hasnt developed so far, but who has in the club??? The old coaching regime were inept IMO when it came to player development.

Id like to see him get nasty on the field. Paea too. Someone needs to rub dencorub in their undies, get them irritated. We lack a real nasty mo-fo, JWH looks to be that type, but it would be nice to have more than one up front. Maybe we need Les "the baby faced assasin" Boyd as a forwards coach. I want poker machine eyes in my props.

Get Cranky Frankie.

he's definitely developed

had a good year in a disgraceful side last year, and debuted for the kiwis

he's played one game this year. Injury free, by mid season, he'll be firing

not sure why the onus on anger

who cares?

just get the job done

I would love to see Lima at the club, one of the most underrated players in the game. If he wasn't at such a good club with superstars surrounding him I think people would probably start to realise just how good he actually is.

Doesn't play anywhere enough minutes in my opinion yet still manages to average 25 tackles and over 100 metres every single game. The most amazing thing that I find is he is so clinical in his work... in all of his games last year starting at prop he only gave away 4 penalties and made 3 errors. To top that off only averaging 1 missed tackle per game, his lateral movement for a prop is exceptional.

I rate him up there with the best props in the game, he is professional and gets through the work week in week out.

Because of all this I just can't see the Roosters signing him, it's too good to be true

They started off as impact players. Moimoi still is. But Fa'aoso now is much more of a workhorse than he was before. My brother is a Knights fan, and he noted how much Fa'aosos fitness and workrate improved last season.

I disagree with Moi Moi, I think he has more than proven himself as starting player who can get through a mountain of work. Not necessarily tackles but he was making huge amount of metres for them last year especially in the back end of the season.

No way would I have Moi Moi, send him to Souths, to join the rest of the most overrated pack in the comp.

Maybe SKD is but Graham isnt.

Williamson is only a couple of games away from replacing Graham at right center IMO.

If anything I think he's underrated... most people still think he's an unfit impact player, all his knockers said he'd be gone which the interchange rule yet he started nearly every game last season.

So much of his good work goes unnoticed because people are either too caught up in the hype or hate the hype that Channel 9 give him.

He just played his first game for the club, what's he done wrong?

Hes an average player with a funny name that gets him attention.

[Rooster_6]

Only ended up on the bench due to injuries if I remember correctly.

Good stats, Him and Paea in rotation looks a good combo.

Paea has been such a disappointment, he seems to get away with the bare minimum every week just to hold his spot in the side. I'd really like to see him get a lot more hitups into his game because more often than not he does bend the line.
