I was at the match and really enjoyed it. Fonua was one of Wests best players and his crashing run made a try for Marshall which looked like winning the game until the Eels got over in the last few minutes. He will easily retain his spot on that display. Also impressed with Corey Thompson the Tigers fullback who came back from playing at Widnes for the last couple of years.

Only watched the highlights but saw Mahe doing his wrecking ball bit for Benji's try.
He's a big miss for us.
Looked an entertaining watch.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Grabbing his NRL opportunity and ripping it up. A great piece here, and his affinity with our club. http://www.weststigersforum.com/viewtop ... =2&t=31137

Also shows our club in a great light for potential signings. The Aussie players will hear stuff like that and think yeah if I ever go to super League that's the type of fan experience I want.

Ivan Cleary, West Tigers coach, "Mahe is one of those guys who sometimes when he gets the ball both coaches hold their breath." We know what he means. https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/05/10/wes ... -thompson/

That's a great piece. Mahe is of course and always will be one of the 2016 Immortals who will go down in Hull FC folklore. He epitomises everything you want from your players and if I was involved with a club in any way his story would be an integral part of young players' development. A truely inspirational figure for aspiring and seasoned players alike.

Legend my arris, very good in a smattering of games over 1.5 seasons, got a sniff of a bigger wad of cash and mugged us off, we didn't even get a fee for him despite still being under contract.
Biggest turnstyle in defence since Thorman and time and again Steve Michaels (and others) made up for his mickey poor defence and this was clear as a bell to see at the WC. His allowing Leeds two tries that against Leeds at last years semi-final was all you need to know about this 'legend', he let as many in as he scored, poor mans Tom Lineham, who whilst not quite on a par in attack was far superior defensively.

Not surprised he hasn't secured a 1st team spot, well over rated.

I miss this lad ha
