Kurtis Rowe

Rowe isn't good enough, although Tedesco last year was similar in terms of confidence, hesitance, and timing, there's just not that spark of potential that Tedesco always promised.

Rowe 178cm, 82kg
Moses 180 cm, 80kg

Simona 183cm, 90kg
Tedesco 180cm, 93kg

Rowe's biggest problem, as is the problem with a lot of lightweight players, is the confidence to run the ball back hard.

he needs so more muscle mass, especially in his upper body, so as to not slow him down too much, but to give him a boost in confidence that he can survive and not be dominated and pushed back so easily when doing kick returns.

If he can run the ball back with some pace, he will become very capable.

Inglis was seen as a 5/8 and centre for years before he was tried at fullback and excelled. I reckon Simona could do the same & then I'd give Koro a go on the wing.

Yep.. as they say about similar players the more ball in their hands the better. And as long as we have Anasta shoveling dog shit to him he is never going to achieve his potential and is wasted .

I hope we don't lose Koroibete, but unless we play Simona/Nofa at fullback I can see it happening.

I would be suprised if Koro stayed, he cant get a run rightly or wrongly and he was being shopped around until they offloaded Mr T and BMM.

Iam sure he will get some good offers and Iam not sure the club wants him. Shame because some club is going to make him into a crowd puller

The Sharks dont need anymore Tigers , but if they needed one it would be a try scorer . I want to keep him though because he has rare ability that cant be coached .

I watched Rowe in the NYC semi final last year and I thought he was a junior Moltzen the way he succumbed in the tackle and avoided the high balls.
Then I thought no he is more like Mullaney when he stuck an arm out and shouted touched but the ball carrier kept going.

Seems nothing much has changed with Kurtis Rowe. He did not deserve his spot in the team. Has not played well in NSW cup and is not a first grader.

Hard to believe Rowe and Tedesco where both born in 1993.

OK so whats your relationship with Tedesco ??
