KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

I cant be bothered laying it all out again with screenshots... but the try and the near-try ppl r blaming on Finau, was the result of being outside a rookie centre.. 1 was a 4on4 situation where Lawson charged full pelt out of the line.. didnt stop the pass.. and left an obvious 2on1 for Finau... the other was Lawson turning to tackle the decoy before realising his error and changing direction late.. but the damage was done.

Its fine, Lawson is learning a brand new game and a brand new position,... and hes going to make tonnes of these mistakes, but not fair to lay blame on Finau.. and a different story when Finau is outside an experienced centre who wont be baited.

Completely agree. He had the same issues playing outside Tamale who was horrible in defence at centre

Halangahu, Latu and Lpt already pushing above their weight in cup. Exciting stuff

Halangahu knows his way around a footy field & through the defence what a beast, 18 turns 19 in August & is 109kg & growing. He is an outstanding propect.

Ressies need another half and goal kicker.

Nar BAGGY what about BGM

Just that I have requested plenty of times for a username change. Baggy or Baggers is fine if u wish.

This!
He impresses me so far. Hope we manage to keep him.

Yes but once fully grown wont his size be better suited in the middle. I see him as a young Addin-Blake at the moment. As he grows he will also lose pace which you need on the edge. Just my opinion.

Want Jake to carry the ball more as he is a bit starved on the edge. Latu huge PCMs, he and Loko take a power of stopping. Defense wise, all three could use some lessons from JDB.

Nick T and Jett Liu were also strong. Either would not be out of place on a Firsts bench. There is also more spark in the ruck when the older Finau brother comes on.

Again wanted to say - Halangahu with 68 fantasy points on cup debut at that age is absolutely unreal.

And of course, Cody with 61 is also a huge feat on return.

We need to lock down Halangahu and Latu immediately beyond this year. Can probably get away with Nick T and Liu on devs for another year because they would be less on the radar but they’re keepers. For mine out of the young cup forwards, I wouldn’t care if we lost Egan and Webster. Egan is a high work rate back rower who does a lot of the little things well, but back rowers need to be exciting in attack. Halangahu and Nick T offer more on the edge. Liu, LPT and Stewart more in the middle than Webster. I thought Liu was the best prop out of the 4 on the weekend, including LPT.

on a side note I would also extend Finau. I just get the feeling that if we let him go after this year, he will be a star at another club that actually wants to play him in FG next year
