Jennings dropped?

Check yo self bra

 

[Fufu Andronez]

As long as he doesn't take any runs in his own half hell go alright, legit got dominated every hit up. But put a bomb up and it's pretty much guaranteed 4 points.

Yeah when there was 4-5 in the tackle, he's solid. He's going to be a starter from Aus within the next 2 years

I wasn't too impressed with his defence this year, Hodges cut him to pieces and J.Morris is just better. He's been solid for the past 2 series against Inglis and although he's not as flash as Jennings, he's bigger, stronger, faster and just a bigger threat.

Put 4 or 5kg on him and watch him go. Think part of his problem when running the ball in his own half is he's too upright. Then again Merritt never runs the ball in his own half and still gets picked

Don't rub it in

Rate him, but he can be a real liability in a game of Origin or finals level intensity. He is generally a strong ball carrier who can make good metres out of his own end but when he gets swarmed like you do in really tough games you can pretty much lock him in for between 0 and -5 metres per hit up.

Good in the air but thats about it at the moment. Was hammered every run he took last night.

I think it's just the fact he runs too upright and tries too hard to make extra metres, needs to learn to kind of make his 5 or 6 metres and then lower his centre of gravity, also put 5 or 6 kg on him and he'll be a lot harder to push back

This. If he can improve his running game I'd give him a look in. But modern origin has proved that just pure finishers just can't cut it, need the lot.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Just a few technical issues that he can easily fix up and his defence may be questionable at times but tbh I think his main weakness would be the other giant wingers coming through. I expect QLD to unleash Edrick Lee at some point who may just have an edge on Tupou in the air.

 

[Vic Mackey]

As pretty much everyone who actually understands rugby league has said; good potential but nowhere near origin. At the moment he is basically just there for cross field bombs (which he is insanely good at mind you) the rest will probably come but ATM McManus and taufua are nearly as good in the air and much better in every other area.
