The club 's Agen announced Friday on its website have officially terminated the contract of its Samoan pillarJohnson Falefa . The President Tingaud, in agreement with the manager, Philippe Sella and supervision lot-et-Garonne, broke the contract in advance "for breach of professional rugby player." Falefa therefore no longer part of the workforce of Agen.

Johnson Falefa is a big unit indeed.

Roach is in the picture too...he's behind him...actually the whole team could be behind him...or he ate them(he looks guilty)...

I read this morning a Johnson Faleva was struggling with the pre-season hill run.new recruit?

He struggled with the hill? He is The Hill.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

He struggled with the hill? He is The Hill.

I was wondering who that lump of a figure was keeled over in a pic I saw. I now know.

Johnson 'The Hill' Faleva... has a nice ring to it!
Big unit - hopefully has the goods as well.

Waratahs twitter confirmed that Falefa is an invited guest at this stage.

The two remaining contracted players are yet to be confirmed.

Gee wiz - breaking a contract (as noted above by fatprop) to be a 'guest player' half-way around the world with no guarantee on contract is big call on him and his manager. I suppose if the opportunity arose, why not...

Could have been a contributing factor. It's a hell of a gamble but you have to admire his guts if it's a calculated move and he has chosen to back himself.

 

[kiap]

you have to admire his guts

That's one way of putting it.

Arriving last summer from Stade Toulousain and labelled as a great hope, Johnson Falefa seemed to put every effort into becoming "persona non grata" at Agen. On Tuesday, the club announced the suspension of the prop for a period of 10 days following behaviour deemed "irresponsible" on his part. Yet another episode in the saga of Falefa at Agen ...​

​

Reaching Armandie twenty days late and very overweight (at 156 kg) in early July, the player has been distinguished more by his lax attitude and antics on Twitter than his performance on the park. Appearing only three times on the stats sheet for one match (against Bordeaux-Begles and he was out in the 30th minute of the game), the Samoan lost the trust of the staff and exasperated the leadership at the club, and especially Philippe Sella. The director of Rugby SUA summed up his decision to the Daily Sud-Oeust: "He doesn't deserve to be part of the group and has continued to make errors, he is punished."​

The parting-of-the-ways with Agen was in January, he certainly didn't break that contract to chance his arm with the Tahs.

Anyone know what he's been doing since January?

Hopefully trimming down from 150kg!

 

[Jets]

He only looks 148kg now so it must have been working.

Dunno, I'd love to see an impact 150KG prop come on in the 60th and absolutely tear the opposition (except against the Rebels). Then afterwards I would expect him to trot over to the sidelines, grab the nearest beer and pie combo and go to town. A throwback to the olden days...the days when props ruled the world.

[Braveheart81]

He's obviously a massive unit regardless, but surely at 150kg he's got to be 20+kg over his playing weight.

I don't see how he'd be more destructive if he's just overweight even for a short period of time.

Hopefully he can scrum.

 

[Jets]

Here's a clip of his work in France. Looks like he's handy at scrum time.

Guess my bad attempt at humor was lost in translation...

The guy makes George Rose look anorexic, but he looks solid a the scrum.

How did that work out for Rodzilla?

He sure does, but it's his highlights package so you'd hope so.

 

[cyclopath]

Hard to tell how big he is without an object in the picture for scale. Such as a small car.
