Samuela Fainu or Ben Trbojevic

Ben looked good. Great run for the try too. Was waiting to see Shu and Ben combination bear fruit. They were great at youth level together

Id like both Sam and Jurbo and wave good bye to Woodsie tbh

Sarbo.

Fainu was very good again for Blacktown yesterday and Ben hasn't hit his potential yet. Ben showed yesterday, in really only some short game time, that he's still on the way up. So ideally, I'd be keeping both but to the question, probably Ben coz I feel if they do both become good players, he is the one more likely to stay. Having said that, the big surprise for me yesterday was Tuilagi. I would have been happy for him to go in order to keep both Ben and Samuela. However, if he can play like he did yesterday on a regular basis, it'll make losing Fainu a little easier to take.

I guess it also depends on how they view Sam Fainu i.e a backrower or front rower .If its the former maybe they say we have many options in that position already and hence they are happy to let him go ,however if its front row I think we should keep him at all reasonable costs

Yeah, Fainu maybe front row later on but he's only 19 (I think) and he looks back row for now. He does look to have better skill set than Ben at the moment though. His hands in particular.

I honestly never got the criticism. It's funny that all three Turbos are very different players.

If Ben could get some aggression, consistency and a good go in the starting team, he'd be absolutely amazing - and I'm talking as valuable as Jake.

If this week's impact is the norm for him, look out. He's also deceptively quick for a backrower.
