We are the Fonk -
They just showed a few highlights of his season on Fox Sports in the lead up to the game.
Confirmed that he has signed with us on a two year contract, for 2011 and 2012. Looks to be a very strong kid, explosive hard runner, massive talent IMO. In the Cherrington/Nuuausala/Leilua style in terms of a high impact running game and massive leg drive, but I don't think he can match any of the aforementioned players in terms of an offload. He is a bit more of a battering ram, but I like the look of him. -
Geez you saved me a lot of time just now.. I started watching the game & thought we had signed someone but i couldn't remember. I just came on here to troll the threads & find him.. So thanx for the time saving..Comment

The Mack thats spot on champ give him a pre season with the Rooster boys and Smith and this kid could become a real prospect another big boy at the roosters and he looks promising big frame on him aswell and when he winds up its a scary siteWe are the FonkComment

I don't know where we're gonna fit him in tbh, he's got a really good work rate which surprised me for such a powerful runner.
I think a hard decision needs to be made about Anasta or Frank-Paul.
For me our side for next year should be
8. Ryles
9. Friend
10. Hargreaves
11. Aubusson
12. Anasta
13. Myles
14. Kennedy
15. Frank Paul
16. Tasi
17. Watts
Masoe & Conn for front row depth
Cordner, Symonds & Cherro back row depth, I think Cordner will end up in the side by the end of the year too... he's just seriously that good!Comment

Not sure what you mean by that, Frank Paul clearly has massive potential and is just starting to realise that.. What the club needs to do with him shouldn't even be in dispute.Originally posted by Rooster_6 View Post...Comment

IMO, next year looks like:
First Grade
8. Ryles, 9. Friend, 10. Myles, 11. Nuuausala, 12. Aubusson, 13. Anasta, BENCH: 14. Watts, 15. Leilua, 16. Hargreaves, 17. Masoe
Jets
8. Kennedy, 9. Brunton, 10. Conn, 11. Tasi, 12. Symonds, 13. Baiteri, BENCH: 14. Samuela?, 15. Guerra, 16. NYC graduating prop (Strickland, Pelo, Namoa, Williamson or Maliota, we should keep one), 17. Arona
Loving that forward depth, we are dominant in that area.Comment

Some of those forwards will surely be let go by next year. Dont forget Cordner could potentially be there aswell.Comment

Frank Paul is a strong tight runner but has been far too inconsistent with it and doesn't always get through a lot of work.Originally posted by Cockadoodledoo View Post
Braith is a ball playing lock who really needs to add something else to his game i.e making 30 tackles a game or making good metres of which he does neither atm.
Maubs does his job exceptionally well and is capable of making lots of tackles and not missing many. He doesn't have anywhere near as many errors or penalties in his game as Braith or FPN. Although he isn't heavily involved in our go forward.
I know they fit into Smith's game plan well and maybe I'm being over critical but I just think we need more metres and defence out of our backrow Myles, Friendly & Ryles aren't going to turn up every single day....
Not suggesting for a second that FPN shouldn't be in the 17, just what's best for the team.Comment
