Player Addin Fonua-Blake

[run_it_str8_again]

I recall after the Storm loss, the Sky team interviewing Barney about his thoughts about the game. I was surprised that he mentioned some players were letting the side down (or words to that effect). I wondered at the time who he was referring to. Most illuminating but Blair and co did not pursue the matter.

Liam Martin said something that sets Penrith apart when they won a game recently.

"We just keep turning up for each other"

Think you have to look at how tight the club has been in scarce rumours regarding recruitment but just how easily rumours were working their way into public forum regarding AFB weeks ago? Certainly gives me the impression that whoever was releasing what they were in regards to AFB was likely coming from their camp? I get the impression he tried for a release being that the sharks were flying at the time and they couldn’t accommodate him with a tight salary cap? Can recall at the time people wondering how the club had suddenly become one where rumours were flowing out of it

Well i personally believe if they had the chance to have him this year they would of made room for him. An unexpected medical retirement? Lol.
I believe he wants to do the right thing and play out the rest of the season with us. And play to his best ability which he has done. Who knows whats happening at the club. The covid era you'd think it would of brought them closer together and formed a tight bond. Looks to be unravelling at the mo tho.

He can't win, looks pissed off when we lose gets criticized and I can guarantee if he didn't look pissed off he would get criticized as well.

Spot on bro. It's a weird situation for Addin. Well, The whole club.

This guy carries for us and has the ability to carry us into the opposition 10 metres zone and get the ball over the try line by brute force or style and grace. And yet it might be him letting the team down at present but some of it is fair given how crap our attack has been at times in spite of his hard yards.

So his lip gets dropped but the defining of his legacy here could be that in spite of that he puts the whole team on his shoulders and says "I'm going to that try line boys...... who's coming with me?"

Chin up Addin. You're an awesome player. Be an awesome NZ Warrior.

Let's get his address from the food delivery guy and send him this message.

He's probably on here reading it all dong his try celebration pose to Anna

AFB strikes me as a mercenary, and doesn't overly care too much about any jersey he wears. I have always thought he'd easily give back that Kiwis jersey if it meant he could play origin and get that extra 90k a year.

Can definitely turn it on when game day roles around because he is a top three prop in the league, so I guess that speaks to his professionalism at least on the field.
But that doesn't mean he's necessarily in sync with his team mates as we've seen many times on the field, or that his issues off the field don't cause issues in and around the club.

If addins wife is out here calling us weak gutted dogs. A usless club and we can all get fucked. That's personal. And for someone like SJ who loves this club , Lives & breathes Warriors. He'd take that personal too. Addin has to support his wife, And i have a gut feeling he surely blows her up everytime she posts shit about the wahs.

Where does this come from?

I wonder if the Sharks are a bit nervous about what this guy will be bringing to their club

I doubt it. They'll be excited. As long as the off feild stuff is kept in check & they buy all Anna's cookies.

If this is the case why doesn't the club front foot it and send them packing?

We can't do much with her lol. And i don't think Addin has any control of her & what she says. So it's not his fault. I don't think so anyway.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

If what I'm hearing is correct these two may not take any part in the season going forward.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I think it's now safe to say it's all SJ and Addin going head to head.

There was a poster on here who sat next to her at Mt Smart and said she was lovely... just for balance.

Well,if no SJ then Addin is free to play without having the Princess disrupting him.

I think the both of them should pack it in.

I'm not saying she isn't a nice lady. She just has a bee in her bonnet when it comes to the club.

We don't really know the facts or wtf is wrong.
We can only make assumptions.
6pm might be some kind of answer but I doubt it.
Much the same team less SJ which will be a major disappointment for mine
