Likiliki

[Johns Magic]

Siuatonga Likiliki (Warriors) > Knights on a 2 year deal.

Reported in Sunday News (NZ). Not online yet.

That's from the Confirmed Signings thread in the NRL Section.

Anyone seen much of him?

I've heard him be compared to Sau a couple of times....

 

[Frederick]

If he's been compared to Sau then he's more of a suckysucky

 

[Adsy]

He played against us today in the NYC. Didn't look anything special.

Not sure how old he is.

 

[aqua_duck]

hopefully signing him means no brad tighe

 

[roopy]

Him and Locke tore us apart in NYC a couple of times, but today he was outplayed by Harmony Hunt - even Chanel Mata'utia outmuscled him, and Chanel is 17.

 

[Serc]

Yeah Likiliki didn't seem too special in NYC today from what I saw.

 

[ozbash]

Must mean Tates staying in Aucks

Likiliki was very quiet by his standards today. Be a good buy for you guys..

 

[blain]

Hes hit and miss, defence is average, but on attack he can be great. Definitely has potential.

Id compare him more to Ropati, he's smaller than Sau

 

[Chook Herron]

I like his haircut....absorptive

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Too be honest I am just happy we've signed someone!

 

[Spot On]

You blokes have heard who the Bulldogs signed haven't you?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Tolman(For 2011) and Tandy for the rest of the year.

 

[roopy]

Has any player from Melbourne ever been worth the money paid for them?

I can't think of any - but i can think of a dozen who have gone backwards rapidly after leaving Melbourne, including Reynoldson and Cross.

Sign Warriors players - they give value.
Sign Canberra players - they give value.
Sign Parra and Penrith players - they give value.
No one from Saints, Melbourne or Manly are ever worth a pinch of sh*t.

Other teams should sign Knights - they go great.

Hodgkinson - for around 260K a year.

Because the Knights obviously didn't have enough Polynesian players with bursts of power/speed, little endurance and poor hands already...

Great!

Wow. Someone has finally said it. I wasn't game as I was concerned it may be regarded as racist. You're spot on though.

 

[Karmawave]

It's not even racist. Its just fact. Polynesians are built for power and speed bursts.

I don't see too many Polynesians running marathons. :lol:

Have a quick look at our NYC team today. Lucky they had different coloured jerseys on, because you'd struggle picking which team was from New Zealand if you just turned up to the game and saw the teams side by side. It was almost comical.

Its said without racism at all, and if people are taking it as racist, harden up.

The last thing we need in this club right now, is more Polynesian footballers.

 

[Iafeta]

Very, very strong ball runner. Made first grade last year against Parra.

Defence... kind of reminds me a bit of Ropati. Up and in and can get exposed.

 

[Smoo]

could be worse. having scotty out in the centres and continually coming up and in, getting found out, fended off a weak attempt at tackle or running backwards with hands in air like a window washer on the spaz bus.

Karma - No truer a word spoken.
