Tuha>>>>Folau

Tuha is quick and skilful. Folau is a plank.

Absolutely and Tuha probably has plenty of improvement in him, whereas I get the feeling Falou is as good as he will get

 

[Avenger]

Folau will never be a consistent and regular first grader. Nice young man but he turns like a kids carousel.

Plus, too short?? Tuha is 180cm.....French is 181cm...

Exactly we don't want another short guy.

Id prefer wingers to be 185cm plus Hoffman is 183 which is on the smaller side. While Semi is 190cm.
When you have tall wingers they are less liabilities under the high ball and also great targets for the high ball.
The bomb is one of the main weapons in attack. Exploit it rather then be exploited.

Imagine Tuha-Hoffman-Bevan as the back three. Wow some of you guys on here have no idea about how to build a winning team. Would make terrible coaches.

Or you could have a tall bloke like falou who can't catch the ball anyway. You are right about some guys having no idea

You're right, you do have no idea...Folau is slow, terrible under the high ball, a very ordinary defender, has a poor attitude, the turning circle of the Titanic (currently, not circa 1912), hands like feet and is not a wingers left nut.

Literally the only thing he has over Tuha is height and size.

I'd be surprised if John Falou ever played much first grade again. He struggled to defend in the U/20s.

Nah but he's tall. Automatic first grader.

Jennings and Auvaua will be first.Next would be Schulte.
John apparently has trained great and lost a lot of weight. He has upside and age on his side. He probably wont make it but of can iron out a few areas could be good. Ive seen him hit in defense.Brutal.
Tuha puts in a lot of effort. Thou would be targetted with bomb constantly.

As back ups, Tuha can play fullback very well and wing well. I think he also spent some time in the centres at Newcastle. Folau can play centre poorly and wing terribly.

Tuha is only a year older so the age difference is totally irrelevant. Tuha is comfortably the better footballer....why would you bump him out to keep a bloke who can't match his skill level? Dumb. You'd take the better footballer every single time...Folau is simply a poor footballer. Size isn't relevant.

 

[Gary Gutful]

This Queenslanders Only show on Foxtel - haven't managed to watch it but is it at all true they use one syllable words and pictures as often as possible? I reckon it would be like listening to a tape slowed right down....

All of the above plus they smash about 12 cans of Bundy and Coke each during the show and then snot on during the closing credits.

I agree Tuha is better today. And if someone went down now he gets nod. I just dont see Tuha ever playing first grade.Kind of like tanginoa will struggle due to size. But we have back ups already and Falou can improve. He has been injured most of last season and hasnt had a chance. Tuha has been fit.

Folau has shown zero improvement since his FG debut....Tuha has improved immensely since arriving here, he's gone from being a genuine winger and finsher to a genuine fullback with ball skills.

I think you just need to face the fact that Folau is not worth keeping, no matter how big and tall he is he just doesn't have the skills to make it in FG. Tuha might, and he is much more versatile as well. If for some reason it came down to a decision between the two of them Tuha wins by knock out three seconds after the starting bell.

Also worth noting as a point of interest, Billy Slater is smaller than Honeti Tuha.

 

[Gazzamatta]

If Folau was kept in preference to Tuha conspiracy theorists would reckon its because our club has not given up hope of Izy returning to the NRL. Im not sure there could be any other reason.

And his last name.

And his last name.

Folau isn't a bad surname, but it's no Marsh....
