John Fonua

Looked good in the trial match - strong runner, knows his way to the try line, nice passes. Thought his defence looked good if I am remembering correctly. Does anyone know anything about him? Think he is 20 this year.

      • We'll wait and see, Penrith will be a much tougher opposition though, based on what i have seen of him in Wenty i'm not conviced about all the hype he's getting. I remember a player we had back in the late 80's called Greg Drake, big frame, tall but turned out to be average at best.In contrast Oregen Kafusi is looking a very likely prospect maybe thats why they upgraded his contract and in our top 30, in my view he's a better player than Stefano from what i have seen so far.

        • Now there was a name from that tough era, Greg Drake. Big guy and yes slow, but he was young when he entered NSWRL etc. shame as lots of young guys in that era could have been better with some astute coaching and recruitment alongside.

          • The ''bone rattler'' Peter Johnston was young to back then and he turned out as tough as teak.

            • He was superb and had the headgear to with it. Saw him shorten up Ian Roberts at Brookvale one day. We had some useful juniors (Mahon, Liddiard, Bell, Penna and more) back then, but old heads were a little over the hill.

               

  • Is this guy still with the club?
