He was also one of our best in a game against the Broncos last season. Late in the season when the team had descended into a rabble and it was only a question of whether the Broncos would win easily or put us to the sword.Here's hoping we didn't pay overs for a kid that hasn't done anything on the big stage, purely off the back of the success of his brother.
Offered SFA in the 9's, can't defend and is about as fit as George Rose.
Though you are right about the 9s. He was atrocious!Don't get me wrong, I want the kid to succeed and do great things for us. I'm just concerned that our club management may have paid overs for an un-proven product.
But hey, that's footy these days I guess.
I hope someone digs this thread up in 2-3 years when he is lifting the premiership trophy in a Red V.
he has more attacking ability in his little finger than the rest of the forward back combined.
when was the last time you saw a saints forward pop up a soft pass to put a back through a hole ?
Yes he needs to work on his fitness and tackling technique
His skill set is what we need, give the kid time. He will be a gem if they support him.
He played first grade last year and his defence didnt seem to be a problem then. It just goes to show that the coaching staff have no idea to put a player like Lealua into the shorter version of the game, his lateral movement would not be as good as other forwards in our squad and to play him in that crap is a joke. He should be in first grade as he has more ball skill than any other player in the squad .
