Can't direct Wal King directly so thought I'd blog it for everyone too. Wal King was I think the first to say both Faraimo and a forward has signed with us. He proved to be right about the forward, but any idea when Faraimo will be announced?He reminds me of Taufua. Big and stong. He was clearly the only standout against a world class Australian side. & that says a lot, especially when we may need wingers. He knows how to defend (put a few good shots on), bumps off players in attack and is solid under the high ball.Let's hope it's 2/2 and we have actually signed him !

  • I'm pree keen on the signing. Has anyone else thought to play him in the backrow?

  • If he stands out against this Aussie side then he's gotta be worth signing.
  • Just seeing him up end papalli and the look on papalii's face was enough for me
  • Faurimo is a good one. Hope we sign him. Could play backrow as well.

    • And he currently plays for the cutters
  • Agree he was a standout and ahead of the first grade players in his side, really took it to the Aussies.

    Loved the hit on papalli for that alone he should sign with us.

"If the Eels lost out to Manly, who are willing to pay a reported $650K over 3 years, then I'm OK with that. Personally I haven't seen his potential to warrant that much. I'd be worried if we had offered the kid over $500K.
