Lorenzo disappointing.

are you seriously taking the piss?

Talataina did a job, thought his defence was OK and he played more as a link which will help his game overall. Certainly wouldn’t describe his game as disappointing.

The young players stood up , Twidle, Nanva , FunaLatu and R Penisini doing well as still eligible for Flegg.

How big is he? Footage I seen he looked the size of a milk bottle. Has he grown at all?
He looked smaller then Joash tbh which concerned me

He’s big enough alongside other halves

He wasn’t that great today. Are you blind ? Did he have a good game?

I never said he had a good game you said he was disappointing… it’s his 5th game against men and as delboy said, he did his job in actual fact he just about won the game for us when he chopped down their backrower 10 metres closer to the post from their last try which meant their kick to draw the game was harder.

I’m sure he has had some good game in the past but yesterday wasn’t great IMO. His passing was a bit off. He did miss some tackles defensively as well. Let’s hope he can improve because Joash is no 5/8 and we do need someone to come through.

I thought Hunter looked very promising.. Shame he’s going to Newcastle

A 21 year old looked promising in Jersey Flegg? Joash Papalii would destroy these merkins.

Hunter played well in Reserve grade at 6. Looked a classy player. Joash has shown nothing at 6 so far. Very predictable. Dean Hawkins has shown more which is sad. Joash is a good back up for fullback. And maybe a hairdresser

Papalii was twice the player in reserve grade.

Joash has shown nothing at 6 so far. Very predictable.

In attack, the way we use our 6 is basically the same way we use our fullback. The fullback makes some extra runs on exit sets and the 6 takes some kicks when Moses can't. The main difference is how they defend. If Papalii is struggling with the physicality of first grade, Hunter definitely would.

Dean Hawkins has shown more which is sad. Joash is a good back up for fullback. And maybe a hairdresser

Papalii made 30 tackles with zero missed last night. If Hunter (or Hawkins) had played, we would've conceded 40.

Glug glug glug!!

Papali has failed so far at 6. Fullbacks transitioning to 5/8 is one of the hardest things.

 

[Avenger]

Joash is a reserve grader.

 

[RealdEel]

Joash is a reserve grader.

Whoever we put at 5/8 will be a reserve grader trying to step up into first grade.

Even if we can get Pezet or Perdue they will be learning..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Joash is a reserve grader.

A star reserve grader, to be fair. Hunter isn’t even that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Papali has failed so far at 6. Fullbacks transitioning to 5/8 is one of the hardest things.

Because they struggle with the defensive workload. Papalii’s defence was excellent last night.

As for his attack vs Souths, their defence was excellent. Even Moses did f**k all. He was outplayed by Jake Arthur behind a beaten pack today.

 

[Jake the snake]

He did nothing all game. Just accept it. Hopefully he comes good but he’s been Passenger since playing 5/8. He’s been better at fullback.

To be fair, neither did Moses, who also defended worse than Papalii. Souths worked too hard and limited our opportunities. They deserve credit.

Yes you should expect a 21 year old to improve.
