Dene Halatau

[#4]

I love watching this guy play!

It's great to see him running at the line as hard as possible and players falling off him.

He is fast becoming my favourite player!

same here he is the only player like that here i reckon. i loved seing that nice person walker getting smashed onto his backside trying to tackle the "hulk" halatau and he is not that big but he has balls

He just gets better and stronger every week. He was like a runaway locamotive today.

He should definately be our starting lock next season IMO.

Yeah I would like to see him in the back-row but he does make an impact off the bench. But in the future he has to be starting. He will be far to good for the bench!

He is great.

Always hit's the line strong and hard and never takes a backward step.

All our forwards stood up today - even Patterson played well! :shock:

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah ....I love watching him too......you always get a sense something MAY happen when he has the ball, a lot of other players just seem to hit it up just for the sake of it.....rep player for sure!

Halatau keeps getting better and better hes such a gun the sort of impact he makes can be compared to tupou from the roosters he runs the ball so hard knocking players out of the way. he must be a starting player next season preferably in the back row.

so when is the nest nz side picked

 

[B_Tiger]

Dene is best utilised exactly as he is being played now. I think he could start if it was needed of him, but we have players good enough to allow us the luxury of having him play off the bench.

gotta love the halatau!

I gotta admit when i heard Skando was out and Boof was starting i thought we may lack impact coming off the bench but geez did Dene put that theory to rest. With Skandalis out someone had to step up and Dene dit it great , i shouldnt forget Patterson though either, as i eat my humble pie today i thought he played great, and you wests officiandos were right, he does look better when he's wider on the field, full credit to him!

Patterson was great
looked like a real up and coming prop yesterday
however ive seen him do that once or twice before........................
just gotta keep doing it

great stats from both patto and halatau yesterday. it looked as though someone had finally told patto that he's a big boy. good comment from daley (yeah ... i know) about halatau, saying that he's never "dead" in a tackle ie his legs are always pumping, looking for those extra yards. he's a great talent and thoroughly deserved his double.
