2. Addin Fonua-Blake

It's no secret that I am not a big fan of the now Warriors prop, however based purely on field contributions, AFB is in the very elite bracket.

Over 165 metres per game and a tackle efficiency in the mid 90's, AFB is a beast in both attack and defence. He is the kind of player who can be quiet for a long stint only to bust a game open and win it off his own back out of seemingly nowhere.

Against the Sharks he scored two tries, had a line break and made nine tackle breaks.

34 tackle breaks and an insane 1123 post contact metres prove just how hard he is to contain. The Warriors wanted aggression and power in their engine room. In AFB they signed just that and then some.

  2. The Parramatta pair got a number one ranking for 2020, in another sites article mreel. So you’d be happy with that, being as biased as you are.
    However, each club has 4 plus props in their top squads & there are 16 clubs. So number 9 is pretty good.
    Paulo got a 6/ 10 rating in origin 3.
    Parramatta failed to make the Grand Final yet again.
    Number 9 may be a little light on? Still pretty close to the Mark.

  3. By the way mreel…
    2022, looks pretty bleak on the wings , for your eels. No Ferguson. No Sivo, if they don’t pay his contract upgrade.
    The ‘Riff’ as you like to say. To’o & Staines. Will be Vastly Superior our wide.
    Such is Life ! 😥
