Haha bear in mind he's a stumpy little guy. I think his weight is listed pretty legit on the official page

Get the feeling he maybe getting a call up this year if we get injuries to Friend and one of the halves. I got my money on him or Fusitua being the next to join the club…

BTW, a worthless bit of information to bore the hell out of your unimpressed mates, Siliva is silver and Havili is wind in Tongan.

Well, we know what his boxing name will be, if he ever picks up the sport.

I was surprised to not see his name for the game against the Titans, unless that means he will be getting a decent run against Wigan?

Must be. They are going for the strongest line up against Wigan so he must factor in there somewhere...

 

[Jordan G]

Locke/Leuluai being out of the early rounds really throws Havili into the mix IMO.

I don't see Friend as an 80 minute hooker with his shoulder issues, and I would've seen Locke/Townsend as possible bench utilities ahead of Havili (depending on who is in the halves). Now it feels like Townsend will be needed in the halves, and a bench spot has opened up.

Massive opportunity for him this preseason.

 

[warriors4eva]

im a fan, like to see him get a run and do really well.

whatever happened to his hooking partner from the 20's a couple of years back, real stocky bloke with a massive beard

Our NYC Player of the Year Michael Sio could be the 2014 bolter off the bench.
Plays hooker and back row, has the work ethic.
Lets see what he comes up with in the trials.

Even more useless information:- there used to be a Christian music band in the states called SilverWind in the 70's and 80's.

 

[Sup42]

Can we get a strategic , chess mind to play Hooker for the Warriors in the mould of the new Fullback ?

Is Havili that guy ?

I thought he was shithouse In the World cup.

Young player , unfair to judge in the International arena when the rest of the team are off the pace.

 

[Selector]

Siliva Havili playing for his Warriors career I believe. Hopefully from the team's point of view he takes his chances.

 

[Inruin]

We need some depth at hooker and half definitely. Outside backs seem to be covered (when they are actually fit and not injured), forwards we can get away with but a couple of props would be good. Any chance C'Money stays for next year? That 6 spot worries me for next season.

Depth at hooker? We have Luke, Leuluai, Roache and possibly Friend & Havilli

 

[Inruin]

we have Luke, Leuluai may play 6 at this stage and is getting more and more injury prone and will struggle to play 80mins, has Friend re-signed?, Havilli gets out of breath sitting on the bench, Roache is in need of a lot more development IMO.

 

[slaughterhouse.sa]

So warrior actually have Luke, Leuluai
Friend, Havili aren''t confirmed

Leualuai is one of two options for the 6 jersey.

what are siliva's actual options though? lose weight? improve his game? has he reached his ceiling as a player or is there room for growth? just interested to see what his role will be going into next year.

Wouldnt have a clue? Not an 80 minute player so he may play Reserve Grade with Nathaniel Roache? He maybe one of the two players the Warriors are shopping around even? Havent heard any names dropped yet but we know that their were four in total and Suaia Matagi and Bradley Abbey were two of them. Players are tip lipped on the other two...
