Gutted but not surprised. Top metre maker in SL this year. Unplayable at times.

contracted until 2018, balls in fcs' court, i doubt the club would be unwilling to let him go if he wanted to go back, so a nice transfer/compensation fee would be good and used to go out and sign another top class centre/winger

or it could be a load of b0ll0cks! which i hope it is

If he leaves at the end of the year, he goes with my blessing and thanks.

Absolute monster on the pitch and a gentleman off it. Would be sad to see him leave but can't blame him if he fancies going home.

He was destined to go back to the NRL at some point. Just enjoy him while we've got him.
Can see Griffin being one of our wingers in the not too distant future.

Proper quality, and NRL class so not surprised, hopefully if true for this season we can leverage some cash for a decent replacement. Not fit to lace heffernens boots though clearly

Absolute beast of a player - been a superb import....................but i hate to say it - hes too good for SL - he needs to be playing the NRL

I agree. Unfortunately, he's probably too good for Super League. Just shows what a great job Motu has done in recruitment.
I'm sure that I read somewhere that we had trailed him for quite a while before we actually signed him.

I think with Pearson saying what he did in the paper today, then i think he is going unfortunately

I think the same after reading what Pearson had to say.Hope they can keep him but i dont think they will. Whatever happens he has been a star and would not knock him for going home, been well up there has one of our top imports

best outside back in the league. simple as that

No can't blame him. But he's gonna be hard to replace

Good player, fantastic couple of games. Not the best outside back in the league though is he.

Inu, Burgess, Hall, Watkins, Mcgilvary, Sau all better for starters.

IMO hes up there with all of them and better than most

Inus past it, Burgess totally over rated, Hall maybe better but only in terms of experience, Mcgilvarys bang average, Sau is decent but not as good as Fonua

Really? I'd take fonua over any of those. The only one who you could make a case for being better is Inu but he's always injured anyway

Just ignore him Jake. He's a dobbins troll so doesn't get to see any top flight action.

Be very sad to see him go. Of the players mentioned above I'd take McGilvary. Gets lots of penalties for trying to get up for a quick play the ball, strong,and a good finisher.Hopefully get him if Huddersfield are relegated.

If he does leave, we need to be using the quota spot and a big bump of the cap to tempt the 'next Fonua' over to SL. Use Fonua (and Moa) as an example of what we can do for a players career. Come over for 2/3 seasons, play well, develop, challenge for honours and then you've made it, and can go back to the NRL as a name.

If he goes I wouldn't replace him with an overseas player, I'd use that for a forward, keep Talanoa, him and Griffin on the wings with Naughton and Rawsthorne as back ups.

Who's him Dave?
