Leulaui - Test

[Utey]

:lol: :lol: :lol: Somehow I dont think thats fair

 

[strider]

but you said 100 to 1....sounds right to me

 

[Utey]

100 to 1 if he doesnt come you pay me a 100 ;-) . Get ready to fork your money out.

Yeah, sadly, young Tommy did himself no favours yesterday. I thought his
performance was boardering on embarrasing. I just hope, for his sake, that
he can play himself into form in the rest of the series and cop a decent offer
from a club. I know he can be outstanding, I've seen him when he is.

Cheers

I think the word embarrasing is really harsh, he definetly wasn't great but he did set up that try for Anderson, he wasn't afraid to take the line on, and did his best in defence.

However , the critisism should go to the selectors who put him there, they should of tried to smooth things over with Stacey Jones or try Jerome Roparti or lance Hohia in the mix

 

[Skinner]

I have no doubts that Jerrome would have been there if he was not injured.

[Stagger eel]

ok!

I wasn't aware of his injury.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

It's not as though Craig Gower dominated the same game with wet conditions and smaller field.

I thought his passing game was good....better than our collective passing game...shocking!!!

I would not bother to sign Leulaui, we already have premmy league half back

and no offense to him - but that premmy league halfback is Tim Smith!!!!

the guy everyone is just slotting straight into first grade and expecting instant success - don't get me wrong i wish him well if that is what is going to happen, but i just think its the big expectations thing again????

I'm not :?

 

[True EEL]

i fail to see how Leuluai's performance bordered on embarrassment?????

he didn't set the world on fire, but did his job in attack as an organising halfback reasonably well, was enthusastic, aggressive and pretty effective in defence

however, his kicking game was his big downfall as a number of times the kiwi's needed a good clearing kick and he simply put it on Minichello's chest or it only went 30 m.....but - let's not overlook the effect of the conditions and the enormity of the task, especially with no Stacey Jones or Robbie Paul in the team to help out

and Andrew Johns gave him a wrap for some things including him stepping up to have a shot at field goal when the game was on the line when Brent Webb or Vagana or some other more experienced players could have taken the shot????

 

[True EEL]

well thats good eelevation, i'm pleased - but most people definitely are????? :?

Anyone can stand and pass (except for Witt who is just sh*t ) and Leulaui did just that and not much else, I think it would be very wrong to sign him up. Our future is with Tim Smith and Blake Green and although they may not start the season one of them will be getting a shot next year for sure. If we sign Leulaui up we will alienate these 2 players and both of them are off contract next year as well.

Jake as always could not agree with you more. I think you and I both have a knack of sniffing out the crap in out squad.

PS In regards to Tim Smith I have one small concern. I saw him play this year and he runs a little bit like Adam Dykes and that scares me.

 

[Utey]

He actually has a similar game. I noticed this earlier in the year. If he developed a running game and he became confident in his own ability to lead and be our playmaker he will definately be a sucess.

 

[Avenger]

What worries me is that Dykes was and is a bit unco-ordinated.

he has better vision than Dykes. ;-)

 

[Eelementary]

I'm pretty confident thata fit Dykes is 100% better than Smith.

BAsh him ally uo like, but Adam Dykes is a fine player.

don't doubt Dykes talent, but showed very little of it last season.
