Inu another lemon buy?

Do you understand my point after the game today?

The bloke is a lemon.

Fullstop.

The blokes a lemon playing on the end of a backline that seems to love to throw it to the wingers in hit and hope rather than with any idea of what to do. I feel sorry for your backline, your halves are deadset hopeless.

I'm a tigers supporter with a soft spot for the warriors.

Inu has been linked with the tigers in the past, but I was happy when we missed him.

Surely he won't be in the top 3 wingers at the warriors next year?

Would you want him in the centres as Tates replacement?

It depends on what attitude he comes across with. All I know is the way Parramatta played today was pathetic - their tactics are woeful. Their halves are woeful, they're just shovellers of the football.

If the Warriors get Matai, is there a spot for him next season in the starting lineup ? On current form he would be in the Vulcans

I'd say so, at least to start with. Him and Ropo most likey, btu I imagine Moon will be putting the pressure on.

I think he needs to strip a few kgs too.
His footwork and elusiveness was his best feature and i think he has lost abit of it because of the weight.

Too many players get caught up in the pack on 10 kgs in the off season thing.

Especially when they lack motivation, which I imagine would have been the case with Inu last off season. Hopefully the fresh start will get him firing.

I think that the signing of Inu indicates that they are looking to move Locke to the back

Anyone notice how the 2 bro's played last night?

Mateo took a few hitups early then went missing when the going got tough. Similar to Inu. I hope Ivan can give them a ticker transplant over the offseason, maybe take a DNA sample from Tate.

Hey guys Im an Eels supporter. Just like to say congrats on yesterdays game. You guys played some wonderful footy. I would also like to give you a big thank you on taking Inu and Mateo off our hands next year. Is there any way that we could make it happen sooner? Like maybe next week. Im sorry to sound so sh*tty but they seriously do my head in.Good luck getting the best out of them. Mateo is probably your best bet although he is lazy and goes MIA. Those things might be able to be fixed but Inu, now hes another story. I dont know what happened to him, one season he was going gangbusters the next he is well... Anyway good luck with them, Im glad it is you and not us TBH. Good luck with the rest of the season I hope you guys give it a real shake.

Oh Great. Stephanie "Ouch my shoulder hurts so I'll burst out of the line to put on a shoulder charge and miss leaving a massive hole in the defensive line and take 3 weeks off injured" Matai is a joke.

Should never be in the kiwis again. Why the warriors would want him is beyond me.

Inu - I would hope the Eels threw him in for free with Mateo. Why Clearly or Bell would want to spend hard cash on a player who has not shown form for years is beyond me.

Inu's lazy and has a poor attitude. A fresh start may be what he needs to get his sh*t together. He certainly has potential.

I really don't think you can judge him on his current performances

A) Parra are playing like busted's so of course Inu will look average
B) Anyone else get the sense that he really just couldn't give a rats about team performance ATM and is looking to do the spectacular himself e.g. miracle kick and chase, trying to run through players
C) Methinks he is still carrying a leg injury and is a bit similar to Vatuvei and focuses on the injury to much and holds back from reaching full pace

That all said go back and watch the prelim against Dogs last year and he was real good. Every now and then he'll do something to score a miracle try but his value is whether he does that a time when the try can make a difference and whether those tries outweigh the massive blunders he can do in attack and defence

Chuck Inu to fullback....sharpened up Ropati's game.

Inu can play fullback, centre or wing which stands him in good steed with all the 'specialist' players currently at the club - I have no problems with his ability.

Rotating players around to fill a gap through injury or performance seems to be Cleary's thing, and lack of depth has killed this side season after season so I expect Ivan the terrible to start him in the centres for Moon and use as suitable cover for fullback.

Pretty handy goalkicker too.

Inu has never been the same since he injured his knee.

Hes lost a yard or two of pace (he was pretty slow to begin with) and as always has a serious problem with his hands.

Thought Inu had a pretty fair game last night on the wing. Mateo was pretty good too, errors aside

Too many girls crying around here - Inu will rip it up at either wing or center. We are (I suspect) exactly what Mateo needs. He will be a slightly older in our forward pack, and will lead. Both incrediblely talented guys, and I am optimistic that we will get the best out of them, and they will love being Warriors.

I don't think Inu's form would justify him walking in to a start necessarily- and certainly not in the centres.
