Ha such a laughable comment from one of the usual negative posters.

Fusituas stats show a different story.
MacDonald was getting loads of praise earlier in the season, still one of our most threatening players
Newman constantly injured yes, but still better than Sutcliffe
Handleys a decent winger, not a fullback

Fusitua is a distant second in terms of stats to Briscoe and if Mcdonald is our biggest threat in attack that tells you all you need to know about the quality of our squad how many trys has he scored this year?

Briscoe has played a lot more games so not surpirsed his stats are better now, I dont just look at tries scored as showing an attacking threat, MacDonald makes breaks out of nothing and gets many tackle busts. Hes also got the most metres per game in the league

I wouldnt hav Briscoe back, and like Sutcliffe, we were right to let him goes as he was a shadow of his former self for us.

FWIW i wouldnt keep Fusitua next year, as he reportedly on a lot of money and i dont think were getting value

Can we have Zelezniak ?spelling and Shaun Johnson please?
Replaces Sezer and Fusitua.
Fitzgibbon to replace Tetavano and a decent centre to replace Olpherts.

What's the obsession with Fitzgibbon? I can't say I've ever noticed him when watching Newcastle.

Doesn't mean he won't go well in SL.

Not sure mate, just like the name!
On a serious note I guess he will do the tackling Bentley does should Bentley decide to leave.

I wouldn't keep him or Sezer full stop there's lads who play on a weekend for the love of the game that put more effort in than them two.

Both looked reasonably handy today, didn't they.
