Samuela Fainu or Ben Trbojevic

[Nordburg]

Ben,definitely BenT today

 

[Ryan]

I know it's one game, but jeez he took some strides tonight. If he could now make that the benchmark going forward, lookout.

I saw intensity. He played Robust. He was fast and uptempo. He needs to bring that consistently now, and I'd say they are both quality players, so BOTH would be the ideal answer.

If the difference is that one wants to be here & one doesn’t then it’s a no-brainer

A great line runner can be so valuable.

Look at Beaver or currently Nikora.

Hopefully Ben keeps developing.

 

[JenEagle]

Yeah I like Ben T a lot: I’ve always thought he was a good player. He just needs some luck with injuries.

I also like samuela fainu.

Keep ‘em both. The tigers don’t have room for samuela. They have a lot of forwards already - Ipap, Bateman, Klemmer big stef. He will be playing reserve grade

 

[ando]

Ben’s best game today

Aloai or Woods?

Neither…

 

[Coops manly]

I'd love to have both of them playing proudly in the manly colours I thought the fainus loved manly I used to see them post about manly All the time and I was excited for them to represent the club.
Samuela had a good debut and a great first couple of games obviously something has gone wrong all in all its disappointing as a manly fan.
Burbo had a great game today looked sharp out there absolute champion.

 

[Kalvin]

Hard to understand why the club is choosing to wait for Ben to gain enough experience / playing time to become a good 1st grader.

Looking at Samuela, he has a lot more upside and in my opinion worth the long-term investment by the club.

Only thing Ben has over Sam is that Ben can also play Centre, the elephant in the room.... are the club keeping him around to keep his brothers happy?

Much like how we re-signed manase the last time round to keep his brothers/ family happy?

I may have agreed with this at first, but I think burbo is starting to come into his own man

 

[Highflier]

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

 

[Cliffy's Ciggy]

Aloai or Woods?

Neither.

 

[mbe]

I think Burbo and Shuster make a great combo and they will make many more tries like they did yesterday in the future.

 

[maxta]

That Winning try was a replica of Ben running off the Schu at junior level....there may be many more to come, but was another great part of the Win yesterday to see the boys combine for a well structured try executed at pace !

 

[Budgie]

Burbo.

 

[manlyfan76]

Titans will soon be looking for some cheap forwards.

 

[Rafferty]

I think Ben looked really good yesterday, if he gets an injury free run for a while and stays focused, I think he will continue to develop nicely, needs game time to keep developing, his definitely worth sticking with, I’ll be happy to see him kick on.
