Earl Va'a returns to RL

[playdaball]

Good to see.

 

[ripper]

If hes who I think he is, isnt he 34 and is as slow a sloth?

 

[ThrashViking]

32 and this is the same guy who put Johnny Wilko on his arse last year at the world cup so it's not like he's looking for retirement homes.
He had a blinder according to the Dominion Post; they said he took control of the match.

 

[ripper]

That was the best game of last years RWC

Club - Wellington

Source - Every publication in NZ

I saw him play in the game Wellington beat Canterbury a couple of weeks ago at Wise Park. A great kicking game and short passing. Didn't run too badly either, always had the defense a bit hesitant.

 

[ThrashViking]

Im sure he's playing for Wainuiomata in the Wellington club competition.

 

[Skinner]

Yes, he is playing for Wainui and scoring tries for them.

Good to see one player return to RL after being successful in RU - FORGET Blacklock, Mc Goldrick. Perhaps Bradley Thorn will be next?

 

[ripper]

Thorn has been anything but successful... you lot can have him

 

[carlnz]

Earl played bloody well yesterday for Wellington - excellent kicking game

it depends what you mean by successful - 12 tests for the ABs is pretty good IMO.

Even at his age he'd still be able to perform better than some of the # 6 at the Warriors - e.g. - good kicking game, directing play and distribution.

Go on Tony - I DARE YOU!

Funny you should say that Playtheball, i was talking to the Wellington Coaches through the match and he said that He is better than any kick at the Warriors

Seriously ... the Warriors kickers (both general and goalkicking) are bad. Evidence could be seen on Saturday night with Webb putting the ball dead or not in in goal area. Club RU players are far better as are club RL players.

The golden jandal winner! Va'a is talent theres no denying it

 

[Ray]

Seriously, I would have Earl Va'a for the Kiwis than Thomas Leuluai! Great kicking game does Va'a possess, and has better handling and ball skills than young Thomas.

Agrre, did somebody say that he had signed for the KNIGHTS or was it one of the club teams in newcastle?

 

[Corbin]
