Player Addin Fonua-Blake

[Worried2Death]

I would if one of my parents was sick and was taking a call about it.

Presumably Webby knows the story, he wouldn't get stood down for that surely.

 

[sup42]

Do we even know why he did it? He is not the first nor will he be the last player that will be stood down. Apart from the last game the guy has been playing elite. Hardly the sign of a dropped lip. Would wait until after the bye before we start crucifying the guy.

Why wait....I have all these wooden Crosses with no one else to nail them too?

To be fair to fans, we invest a lot. I know I know that sounds entitled, but we are entitled, we have none of the trappings of NRL privilege, we have no premiership to be grateful for.

We stuck by a club during Covid with no home games.

We came back to Mt Smart despite all the health warnings, all the sanity warnings, all the common sense warnings.

We do actually deserve better from our million dollar players. True story.

100%, the guy is a pansy.

I guess I'd like to know the full story (not that it will probably ever come out) before making a harsh judgement on the guy. Could be family issues noting his parents health scares recently

This. And a ph call to webby to say at the time wouldn't hurt.

HI time packing a sad did coincide with the signing of JFH. Maybe he doesn’t like all the positive attention that was given.

Why on earth would a player leave the changing room early?? Surely there is someone guarding the door to stop people getting in that says… where the feck are you going pal?

Why would he sulk about JFH? He's already leaving! Does he want to to struggle?

To be a bitter cunt? Lol

Everywhere you look people were talking about how we got a same-level player to replace him, and a big chunk of people said we even got an upgrade.

Considering their were rumours that he was unhappy about not getting POTY (not helped by a certain loved ones social media postings) it’s not too much of a reach tbh

 

[CWC]

Send him to the Tigers and loan Ice for this year, win win Wahs win twice

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Just expressing my opinion. First.... What's wrong big fulla? I don't actually know.

Second..... He hasn't been playing badly this year.

Great player. Appears to be lacking some maturity and endurance as in mental and emotional.

Whatever it is. Sort it out

Wow, there's speculation and there's whatever the heck is going on here

We are guns at both

The thing is though, that Andrew Webster is such a empathetic and level headed guy.

So before we all go around finding loop holes for Addin to get off his responsibilities, I can honestly say I would have killed for a manager like Webster in my career and would have felt very comfortable approaching the guy and asking mate I cannot do the dressing room etc, I need go....I guarantee you Webster would have said take care, do what you have to do....he is just that kind of human and you can see it every time he has been in front of us on telly.

Yes people are different off camera, but we have seen a lot of Webster, and we have seen his nature when he is under serious pressure and is obviously in distress....at those times, people give themselves away a little, Webster has not had a single incident of showing cracks in his personality, of appearing nasty.

Addins is bloody lucky to have worked for him.

Have you seen The Wanderers movie? We are the Wongs. And you don't fuck with the wongs.

Be interesting if he is released. I cant imagine any club being able to sign him without having to cut a couple of players, and certainly not the sharks. It could absolutely derail their season if they picked him up and had to stuff with their roster to do so.

They did have a convenient retirement...

Dragons or Bulldogs

Yea true. Very interesting timing

I also remember seeing shared posts from Anna Fonua Blake before Addin come here. She went in on Manly as well. Same shit. Fuck that shit club etc.....That lady will ruin Addins career before to long.
