There have to be serious questions around Fusitu'a's future. Does he have a physical injury at the moment?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Apr 19, 2022 7:17 am  

On Fusitua, how much of a gamble he is worth might change next year. I think Iremember it was stated in the press release that the Warriors were subsidising his wages. I don’t know how often such an arrangement normally lasts. If his wage suddenly jumps, then he quickly becomes a very expensive luxury based on current returns.

Agreed on Fusitua, listening to one of JJB's earlier pressers, get the impression his heads not in it, which was a concern when we signed him, something similar happened with him at the warriors.

People should get teal and get off players backs wine they don’t know or appreciate the facts! Sezer has had a groin strain since round 1 and played on. If anyone has had a groin strain they will know it’s extremely debilitating. So before you write him off wait until he his fit first. When he is fit you will see the real Sezer I’m sure.

Sezer copped plenty of criticism because he was playing poorly. It wasn't until JJB announced that he had been playing injured and rested him for the Saints game, that anyone was aware of his injury.

Knee injury

Never looks to have recovered from being hit high by Currie whilst fielding a high ball rd 1

Fusitua has also had surgery on his knee.

We shouldn't be too quick to right off players who struggle when they first come over, he had a very unsettled year in the NRL before he came and then got knocked out in his first game, plus then had surgery.

Look at Field for Wigan, things can turn around and he has a lot to offer if he can get fit.

Im still absolutely astounded that we didn't even get a penalty for that, especially when they were being very harsh on players. He hit him directly in the head with his shoulder, intentional or not it was very very careless.

Agreed, absolutely ludicrous no call

He's looked good when on the pitch as well. Need to show a bit of patience with him as well as Sezer.
