Tepai Moeroa

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't forget Kenny Edwards and Josh Aloia...

Can both play in the middle.

Ma'u and Moeroa are legit edge forwards.

How long is a while mate???? Longer than next year obviously??? Aloai i rate as a must re-sign as well.

We just signed Tepai to a 10 year deal. Backended a bit so that we screw the salary cap for the future.

Snowball effect.

I blame DA for getting rid of Finch, bloody merkin!!!

Who names their kid 'fijian sensation'??

I wanted to call my son that. But my wife pointed out that, well, you know, we're not Fijian.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But you are sensational, lingard.

 

[oldmancraigy]

It would also confuse Ram, he would tell the kid he was lazy.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I dunno if Polynesians are really lazy. But I do know fat people are.

Kenny Edwards can easily play in the middle and I think if Aloiai makes the NRL it will be as a middle forward, whether that be as a lock or prop I don't know.

You are so racist.

Good ploy letting this kid have a go. Win win situation. And he's definitely got it. We haven't had an elite back come through for a little while either, but Davis looks good. Like to see tepai play in a winning game

Moeroa was fantastic on Friday night. One comment Phil Gould made intrigued me though. Eels got a penalty close to the Rabbitoh's line, and Moeroa took the first hut up.

Gus said something like " I can't believe they just let an 18 year old take the first hit up. His second game, and they give it to him". Says a lot for our "pack" and on field leadership.

Davis turns 19 this year and is only in his first year of NYC. Elite backs are usually in NYC the year they turn 18 and play first grade while still eligible for under 20s.

He looks like he'll probably become a first grader but I doubt he'll ever be elite.

Moeroa looks a good chance to play Origin though.

Wonder what ratio of Polynesian players debut at a younger age compared to .......due to developing physically at a younger age quicker.

Good little interview with moeroa on the eels site, sounds very level headed. Like how Arthur said his role is to protect Sandow

I don't see the problem with giving him the hit-up.

The kid's a mad merkin. He wants to get stuck in. Why stop him.

Exactly, I haven't seen the replay but it was probably his side of the field anyway so he was naturally going to take the hit-up. If Pauli was there he would have taken the hit up.

Money is on him playing for NSW... perhaps not Origin though

 

[Twizzle]

huh ?

Waratahs.
