Agree. Though I reckon BA has a hard on for the other Paulo and will pick him in 14.

 

[eel speel]

Exactly my point, Falou may become the better player-but at this point he isnt and would be quite silly too sugest he would or should be picked before Toutai for the first few rounds if it was a choice

Playing NRL is a massive step up from NYC. Seen too many blokes not make that next step so soon. Some need more time and are better placed when they are around 21 or 22

 

[Eelementary]

Not sure Wicks will be there in Round 1 tbh.

 

[Twizzle]

no chance imo

 

[jk13]

may even play peats off the bench to ease him back in

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Peats is our #1 dummy half. He either starts and plays 80 minutes or he doesn't play at all and waits until he is 100%

 

[hindy111]

Its a tough one with Dummy half.
Peats is the way better hooker. De gois is tough but has no attack. I can understand having de gois on bench if peats can only go 60 mins. Id rather peats for 60 and de gois for 20 than no peats. With guys like gower,mau,watmough we can get big minutes.Ill put tepai in that class too and Pauli

 

[hindy111]

Your props will be Lussick-Mannah-Jnr Paulo.
Than Terepo if gowers used in second row. Wicks, fa'asso, alvaro.

Terepo can do a good job till the other hit straps.There where games where Terepo was our best prop last year.The first 6-8 rnds he was killing it.May take bit xtra time to adjust too first grade.

 

[T.S Quint]

No DeGois please.
Peats to play 80.

I remember him having one good game.
The rest he was either bog average or just plain crap.

Wrong..... How many games did lussick out play him?

 

[hineyrulz]

Terepo and Lussick are both average, no doubt they will be moved on at the end of the season.

 

[T.S Quint]

Wrong..... How many games did lussick out play him?

Most.
And Lussick isn't that great either.

 

[T.S Quint]

Terepo looks good because he runs at a million miles per hour straight into the line.
Problem is he hardly makes a dent when he does it. No impact.
Furthermore, his defence isn't good enough to m make up for his failings in attack (unlike Lussick), and he has some of the worst hands I've ever seen. The bloke couldn't catch a bus!

 

[hineyrulz]

When was the last time Penishands Terepo ever broke the line??? He scored a try against the Sharks after being out through a yawning gap. Not big enough for a prop and not good enough defensively out wide. I doubt he will see much first grade this season.

I think as you said we will play lussick, mannah and paulo up front and pauli pauli, gower or watmough as pseudo props. In other words well probably play two locks and one prop, i think the game is tending to travel that way with smaller faster middle forwards. Terepo is probably too small because he runs hard and straight, if he had a step or jink it would stop defenders in the line and allow him to break the line every now or then

 

[hindy111]

I reckon Terepo gets a spot Rnd 1 on bench-Until fa''asso -Wicks are fit, and guys like Ulesai and Alvaro may over pass him as season goes on.

One thing Terepo does do is run HARD.And has great leg speed.Has he bulked up at all?

Yep much like Nathan Cayless, yet at the time, the 'experts' on this board much like they did with Burt quickly were falling over themselves to mention the fact that he was a good clubman, does charity work, and a nice guy - the LU selection criteria to stamping themselves in first grade for 10 years.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cayless was an excellent first grader. Back around 2001 when the game was much faster he was the best prop in the NRL.
