Today's Sunday telegraph has us interested in Sione Faumuina as a replacement for BK. Position: Second row/loose forward/centre/standoff Age: 25 Date Of Birth: 27/03/1981 Height: 190cm Weight: 101kg Current Club: Vodafone Warriors (No 98) NRL Points: 146 NRL Appearances: 98 (87 for Warriors, 11 for Canberra) NRL Debut: Canberra v Vodafone Warriors at Ericsson, February 18, 2001 (Rd 1) Previous Clubs: Canberra Raiders (2001), 11 appearances, 2 tries Other Honours: Two tests for Kiwis (2003-04) Educated at Rongotai College (Wellington) and Wellington College (Wellington). Apprantly Evarn Tuimavavei is also testing the market at the moment and he would be a good replacement for Kylie.
Whoever gave the info about Tuimavavue is about a month behind the times, he signed a multi year deal with the Warriors Faumuina would be great but i cant see it happening. I am pretty sure he has a long term deal with them, and also there is the other factor of when he was at canberra he walked out on his contract due to homesickness. Is a bit older now, and has had a stint in Hull, so maybe over that but who know
It sounds like the Warriors have financial problems and may need to offload some players. http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=148374
will ad some good creativeness to the attack, could work well in tandem with Beaver running off him, gives us another point of attack apart from orford
