shouldn't be any different to life before Tahu
he hasn't single handedly made any difference to our club
It's true mate.
He was either unavailable, or ineffective, in our major games since signing.
I'm thinking melbourne semi last year and Cowboys final 2005.
He was devastating in the Manly semi, but hardly won us the game.
We will miss his penetration, as we have lost a lot of the games where he and Grother don;t play.
But if we replaced him with forwards who could do that job - we wouldn't necessarily miss him.
And I have often thought that our best possible line up would have him on the wing anyway. He offers us most either getting into dummy half, or finishing tries.
He actually costs us a bit when he plays inside Grothe or Hayne because he isn;t a natural centre.
The coaches were all scared to make a tough decision in that respect I reckon.
I certainly wouldn't leave him out for the season - but Inu would play centre ASAP and Tahu to the wing. If not Inu then Hayne to centre Tahu to wing.
If he shows attitude, it would be straight to reggies.
Eela, can you confirm that he had reached terms last week or are you stirring?
Because my gut feel was that he was so disgusted with Sat night's effort he made up his mind to go (but if that was the case he hasn't watched any Waratahs games this year!).
