How's about keeping it quiet on the other forums then when it's announced we can all say we knew

David Faiumu...

Hasn't scored a Try in 2 years and since 2004 has scored only 8 out of 78 games

Although i suppose he must have been doing something right being selected for the NZ national team

Faiumu facing assault allegations
Sat January 5, 2008

North Queensland and New Zealand hooker David Faiumu has been accused of an alleged assault in Rockhampton and is expected to be interviewed by the Police soon.

It's been alleged that Faiumu attacked national swimmer Ash Anderson outside a Subway resturant leaving him facing the possibility of permanent damage to his face.

The alleged incident happened on election night, Saturday 24th November and the Cowboys were made aware of what happened on Thursday night.

Mr Anderson claims he was punched once in the face, the blow fracturing his cheekbone and right eye socket before he hit his head and blacked out. He also said he had 9mm plate had been inserted permanently into his right eye socket and was worried he may suffer paralysis on one side of his face.

North Queensland Chief Executive Peter Parr and Football Manager Dean Lance are currently both on annual leave and therefore unable to make any comments or decisions until they return.

However, the Cowboys released a brief statement,

"The North Queensland Cowboys have been notified that one of our players has been involved in an incident that police are investigating.

"Any allegation of player misconduct is something the club treats very seriously.

"We will await the outcome of the police investigation before making any further comment."

Faiumu made his debut for the Cowboys in 2004 and has since played 72 first grade games for the club. He has also appeared in 11 Tests for the Kiwis, including the 2005 Tri Nations Final in which New Zealand produced a one-off miracle defeating Australia 24-0 - ending Wayne Bennett's career as Australian coach.

Prior to joining the Cowboys, Faiumu played for the Central Comets in the Queensland Cup, which is a team based in Rockhampton.

The Cowboys trained as per normal yesterday with the media being locked out.

I agree with you there , there is no point keeping players who dont want to be here. I hope It's not true though, as i think Hudson has been one of our best signings for a long time. I would have expected him to get a lot more game time, with Hemmingway as back up, But if we have signed another hooker it doesn't look good. Unless we are going to play Hudson in his best place of course, No telling what might happen now.

Don't forget where you heard about Faiumu first

Don't forget that Griffin and Fasavalau have both been convicted this year of assault, nobody is perfect.

Ill show you when Micks not around

I would have thought Hudson might have had a bit more loyalty, after we gave him a chance of a return after his suspension.
