Buretta Farriumo

Not sure on spelling, but, is he the long term answer on sio's now vacant wing spot. I think we should have kept ken but its done now. Thoughts?

  • Agreed. We don't need to spend a fortune on a big name winger. Seems to have good hands. Haven't seen him tested too much on the high ball but seems ok. Sign him up.
  • We have signed the winger from Newcastle nsw cup side. He isnt to bad either. Centres is the position I'm worried about.
    • Well it's not Josh Mantalatto because he's going to England, the other winger from that side is Braydon Williame believe it or not... It couldn't possibly be him could it?
  • Hay bradley what hes Name. And Im worried about our forward we need more big men with go in them

  • Regardless if wether he is the right person or not he is the right mould. Young cheap winger that can make 100 m a game and finish the odd try.
  • I don't think he's a long-term first grade winger. He's too small and isn't fast enough to play there. He was massively exposed when we played the Raiders and was up against Edrick Lee, I know not all wingers are the height of Lee but it exposed that he's still small and has a problem in the air. I think our long term wingers will be between Fabian Goodall, Semi Radradra, Halauafu Lavaka, and Leva Li if the latter two are re-signed. All 4 can make a lot of metres, they're all big, powerful, and fast, all have shown that they know their way to the try-line.

    Bureta is a good back-up to have as he will have a little bit of experience and he's shown that he can hold his sideline and make metres when needed.

    • Fairomo isn't tall but he isn't small. He is listed as 108 kilos, thats as big as most front rowers.

       

      I agree he isn't gifted with great pace, but neither is Toutai for that matter and I think Bureta is the superior player in terms of his footy IQ and finishing ability. Also Toutai is a bit of a grabber in defence where Bureta can hit hard. If we dont' pick up anyone else he should be first choice next year.

  • i was shattered when i heard Sio was signing with Super League

    he could'nt bring himself to play against the Eels - why did we let this bloke go?

    he has been our most consistent winger over the last 3 years - i dont get it.

    Re: Centres - John Folau will fill that void quite well 

    • Last year Sio was blasted on this site for being terrible. He was unable to catch a high ball, and people were questioning his selection.

      John Folau isn't signed to a contract for next year, yet. imo Fabian Goodall is the better player, and he still has a year on his contract.

    • Because radradra just resigned a four year contract for 250K a year and sio thought if radradra is worth that in he's second year sio wanted more then that and BA said no
