Player Addin Fonua-Blake

[Damo]

Per pettravel.com... The following dog breeds are not permitted to enter Australia: Dogo Argentino, Fila Brazileiro, Japanese Tosa, Pit Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull, Perro de Presa Canario or Presa Canario. The American Staffordshire Terrier is not included in Australian legislation.

Fair, I assume it's a mix then.

I know it was tough seeing him request a release. When it comes to family issues it is tough for a club not to grant a release. I'm glad we've managed to get a compromise and got another year out of him.

Some people are looking into things to question his attitude like he wouldn't be putting in on the field. I can't fault his performances, he has been making his metres every week, he does some tough runs. We are going to miss him big time.

He joined us during the pandemic and also came back to NZ when the club returned home where a lot of others didn't.

You can never question his commitment to the club.

Player of the year, so far, for mine. He’ll be a massive loss.

Love it how our best this year is also leaving us....... ffs

Agree with the previous posts.
Best prop as well as one of the best players in the game.

I miss you Addin. Please come home..... mid season 2025

Stands in the tackle without offloading too much and so the defence get set for the next runner. Webby needs to set him free and give him carte blanche to offload or he needs to hit the line and then find a way to get a quick play the ball.
Bit saying he isn't good but we are losing the ruck and he could be better.

AFB stood down this week​

One New Zealand Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake has been stood down from Sunday’s Indigenous Round match against the Dolphins on Sunday following a breach of club standards.

Head coach Andrew Webster said Fonua-Blake had removed himself from the dressing room after the 22-20 win over Penrith and wasn’t present for the post-match team address or the team song.

“This doesn’t meet our standards and Addin accepts full responsibility for his behaviour,” he said.

Has been great for us but I question him on this! That's fucken poor form! Ugly exit!

I hope he's stood down for the rest of the year.

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

hopefully that’s all it is, but good to see there are standards set and the coach has standards for all players

Conspiracy + 6 weeks = Truth!

I hope they don't release him early either. Fine him if he doesn't show up to training.

I'm just interested what has put him so off, I don't get it.

 

[Akkerz]

Wonder if it's just AFB that has the shits or whether it's something to do with the other senior players not putting in for the past few weeks. Don't need that going on with the younger players around either. Remember the old days that were'nt so good

 

[WahsUltras]

I really do wonder if this is all some big stunt proposed by his manager to get him out of here early.

Immediately release his heart not in it , it's a team game.
