Potentially an incredible athlete and could be anything. Good luck to the lad.

Good to think out of the box and we could certainly use more ruck back-up. All the best to him and hope he makes it to the top level.

Bassirou Faye

Post by Rick »

Just wondering if anyone is aware how Faye is tracking? I’ve seen photos on Instagram and he seems to have bulked up considerably since his signing earlier in the year.

Dunno if the early training sessions have been split up into forward, mid and backs to get a gage as to where he might line up?

Fingers crossed for him.

If he gets just one game in the next 2 years it would be an incredible effort
