Under absolutely no circumstances am I having michaels is a superior winger to Talanoa

Its plain for everyone to see, I do like Michaels though, but Talanoa is so important to us and with Fonua leaving he is a must to keep

A few SL clubs interested in Kalifa Faifai Loa, who is a big powerful Samoan winger, sounds right up our street, wonder if we are one of those clubs?

Not sure he would get in under the new rules, don't think he's played enough? Assuming these rules actually exist?

I've always been surprised he hasn't had a more steady run at a club, played once this season for the Dragons and scored a couple of tries. He has a pretty good try scoring record tbh.

Some NRL clubs really struggle on the wing, might be more to it. He had a few problems as a youngster, think he got sacked from a club.

What kind of a winger is he? Do you think he would do well over here? Try scoring record in isolation doesnt really mean anything. Also if his stats are correct he isnt especially big. Is he capable of the role Talanoa and Fonua play?

Powerful, decent pace and finisher.

I know.

I'd say he's as tall as Fonua?

His style would be in between those 2, not the explosive power of Founa but a bit more pace than Talanoa.
