Attack has been ok.

Takes very selfish options on the last many times though and the structure suffers.

About as useful as a wet bag of crap in defence though

defence is atrocious.

I'm loving the big winger in NSW cup. It's like a fast Andrew Fifita out there. I want him in the NRL side, he'll be our Tuiaki Mk II

I think they said he's 117kgs!

Need to get his contract sorted out ASAP. We have the next two weeks on Fox in NSW Cup.

If teams didn't know all about him before they will soon

Taqele Naiyaravoro is the leading try scorer with 19 tries .. trouble with him MU is he can handle the ball like a harlem globe trotter somedays and other days he can he be 10 times worse that Vatuvie .He is improving though and when he is on song he is a weapon. I Hope he improves enough for the club to unleash him in the NRL oneday :).

Naiyaravoro played in one of our trial games this year and his handling was absolutely abysmal.

Maybe later in the year he might get a run in FG? If he continues to improve he could be a beast like Tuiaki but he does need alot of work.

get him in training with Mark Waugh.

He's got some toe too for a massive unit. I've not seen much of him (only the NSW Cup games on Fox this year)

That trial game was against Newcastle or maybe Roosters (I think) & we got smashed...watched him play on the weekend & he looked amazing, just need to get the showboating out of his play....Neither Groat nor Taupau looked impressive IMO

i saw a front on replay of the first try and Tigers scored against the Dogs in NSW Cup on the weekend.

It looked like he was trying to be tackled by primary school kids, he is scary huge.

One of the commentators said "He's built like a small island"

too right!

He's worth the risk off the bench in my view. He'd likely do some damage.

Pretty sure he's part of the full time squad too so cap issues may not be an issue?

Looks like a big unit. Surprising pace on him too (watch at 4:20). Certainly wouldn't hurt to have him come off the bench for some impact. Would be totally unstoppable close to the line.

edit - Tall as well. Would be a huge target for us to send attacking kicks to.
