can't catch, poor defender.

He's a young Uate essentially.

Pretty much, though he's not even as good as Uate in those 2 areas which is saying a lot

Poor defender in a shit defending team!
Koroibete is a gifted runner and I think one day will be up there with the best wingers. Hope Storm pick him up, or anyone for that sake, just wanna see him play.

How good of a defender does a winger really need to be? Really.

All I remember is him scoring a butt load of tries and he seemed to be a tough bastard to tackle. Hell, I'd take him.

 

[madunit]

His tackling technique is hopeless & his defensive positioning is barely any better.

The latter is vital for any winger.

Swap you. We'll take Koroibete and you can have Tuqiri. We'll even throw in Champion to sweeten the deal.

You took Reddy and Lote,you had your go.

Last night at the bottom of the screen it said breaking news,Manly co-owners to meet board over Glenn Stewart saga

Anything going on with it?

 

[unbreaK]

Pita Hiku --> Warriors

Wingers who can't catch bombs or defend are huge liability. There is a lot of pressure on them and they can really let points in if they suck.

 

[The Eagle]

Pita Hiku --> Warriors

Please go Peta,PLEASE!!! its $1m for 3 years we cannot afford you for that

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Would take Hiku for sure. Centre is his natural position. He's another Dean Whare waiting to happen in that someone will get him, stick him at centre and he'll never look back. done a great job filling in at wing/fullback but he's not a natural in either position.

Warriors have pretty close to their entire list of centres/wings coming off contract this year or next. He would be a very good investment.

 

[Dutchy]

Re-sign him.

Let Stewart walk.

Uate...........

 

[ceagle]

So we buy Hiku from the Warriors on a minimum wage contract then they try to buy him back 2 years later for a million. Sounds about right.

Lol who cares? He's just a reserve and isn't really fast or strong enough to be anything other than a centre in the long run,he'll be a servicable player without standing out

St Helens' Samoa forward Sia Soliola is to quit Super League at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old, who made his 94th appearance for the Super League leaders in their 30-28 win at Castleford on Friday, is to return to Australia.

He made 92 appearances for Sydney Roosters before joining Saints in 2010.

"Sia has made a decision that he's going to go home at the end of this year, which is unfortunate for us," St Helens coach Nathan Brown said.

"We've known for a little while now. It's a big loss for us as a club but we're really happy for Sia. He loves it here but it's a family move.

"I suggest all the clubs back home in Australia will be watching him."

The 6ft 3in Soliola won 11 caps with New Zealand from 2006-09 before switching his allegiance to Samoa, whom he captained in the 2013 World Cup.

He also made four appearances for the Exiles in mid-season matches against England during his spell in Super League.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Meh. No interest.

I'm going to guess he'll go back to the Roosters.

You're an idiot.

 

[The Eagle]

You're an idiot.

Man crush on him hey? I think he's above average

 

[Red Bear]

Probably something to do with Lyon being 32 and Stewart and Matai both being 30 by next season. They could conceivably all go at once, and it'd be nice to have some quality already there rather than lose that sort of talent in one hit.
