Not just stats no. But being in the SL dream team twice as both a centre and a winger, and coming either 4th or 5th in the running for man of steel, starting 71 NRL games playing both centre and wing kind of suggests he can actually tackle. Rovers fans (and no-one else so far) suggesting otherwise are pretty transparent. Bitter and jealous.

Just take a look back on your own forum a couple of years ago there where plenty of your OWN supporters that said he couldn’t tackle no bitterness from me I’m just saying it as I see it

Looking up from the bottom of SL ready to watch cast offs from other bottom sides?

I'm not convinced there's many of those. I'm impressed you've scoured the Hull threads 2 years back though. You're even saltier than I thought! We've had plenty of backs that can't tackle. The likes of Hall and Crooks were absolute turnstyles. You wouldn't even comment if jealousy wasn't involved. When you signed Linnet, due to watching him in the NRL I posted that he was a plodder. Watching him this season I'm happy to admit I was wrong. Try it sometime.

I think Fonoa will certainly get the bums on seats and some excitement into the new season, strong runner, good try scorer and a cult hero to boot. The only issue I'd have if I was a Hull fan would be if you really need to spend Maquee money in an area you already look pretty good in. I'd have thought that would've been reserved for a prop and a 2nd rower.

The Parcell, Lunt, Lui, Tui merry go round.
I cant see it as anything but a plus for us, we are badly in need of a hooker and for what ever reason Lunt wasn't playing so we've strengthened. Has this deal strengthened Leeds at all? Lui / Tui look very similar to me just that Lui has forged a good partnership with Hastings, will the same happen with Myler?

I don't think Tui/Lui are similar at all. Not this season anyway!

Will be interesting to see if Tui looks better alongside Hastings. Not saying Lui wont come in and light up the team but he just doesn't look like the type of half back Leeds need.

Good job he's not on marquee money then.

Thing is Lolohea May have gone fine/ok in attack if we stuck with him at HB, but his defence was shocking and he look to avoid making tackles. It’s his defence which should worry any Salford fan and whoever is defending with him on whatever edge he’s on has a lot of work on their plate.

What’s that got to do with Fonous tackling
