Yes I agree. Me replaying / quoting your posts and then listening to your “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, I never said that” was quite deafening. :LOL:

AM I RIGHT? I'M NOT WRONG!

Talking of DR players from Cas, I see they've palmed Fonua off to Doncaster, unless it's a different Fonua. Doesn't surprise me if it is him, he looked totally overweight and unfit for us at York.

Both Fonua and Faraimo were actually released from Cas in early August and have joined Doncaster until the end of the season.

Not that I particularly rate him but didn’t think Fonua was that bad against York, overall just another below par team performance.

It is and he was. But we were either told to play him or SG showed poor judgement.

Yes he was awful, literally for one of their tries while they attacked his side he was stood 10 yards behind the rest of our defense with his hands on his knees.

There was one particular phase of play where we put an attacking kick through on his side and he literally couldn't even be bothered to chase it. Unbelievable!

That is the downside of DR, maybe one way to do it would be put an age limit on players that can DR?, we get a player coming to the end of his career with little incentive to put effort in and is just playing to collect his wage and then you compare that to getting a young hungry player in who may be on the fringes of first team opportunities and you are going to see a lot more effort most of the time.

Previous part quote from GFB regarding the same player from the same game.

“I don't think that Fonua was anywhere near as bad as some people have made out.”

So you think he was awful and also think he wasn’t. :LOL:
