Kayal Iro debut

[Frenzy.]

How do you pronounce his surname?
I thought it was eye-ro but the commentators say ear-ro

Earo

He's a bit of a mad thing with a ball tucked under his wing. He's attacking defenders with his runs. The whack on contact that you can even hear through the broadcast is scary hard.

This is exactly how his Dad - Kevin Iro - used to play.
Played centre for NZ…

I watched his Dad play for Leeds for a number of years in the mid-90s. Nicknamed ‘The Beast’ - on his day, he was unplayable…. Unfortunately, he was one of those players who very much picked and chose what days he fancied it.
My general recollection of Kevin was that he’d destroy the useless teams, and have a habit of not really doing much against the good teams.
And back in then days, it was definitely pronounced eye-roe, not ear-oh!

Yes it was Kevin Eye Roe

and Tony Eye Roe

Now it’s Ear Oh

And now if he falls off a tackle I say Oh f**k No

He has played well the last few games, that good energy and pcm's will keep him in the side at the expense of a middle forward. Hard to punt him back to Reggies on his current form. Be interesting to see what Fitz does with his abundance of choices today.

Can he play number 6?

Was probably Earo then to be fair. No one really bothered trying to get the pronunciations correct back then, did they.

That's correct Freen-zeye
