Typical Sione's game.
His first try was actually good play by the Knights.
Sione ran into a gap and credit to him he did well to finish off the try.
His second line break I wouldn't even really call it a line break.
He picked up a Warriors turnover and ran 40m down the field.
IMO he'll end up in the backrow. He runs the line of a backrower.
I'm still yet to see him break the line on his own.
I find it strange people call Sione a good defender.
He put in a good shot on Hoffman today by rushing him.
A few sets later, Sione rushes Hoffman again, only this time Hoffmans hit and spins and passes off to Sione's opposite number Kata who scores untouched.
Yes Sione can put on on a hit, but that doesn't make him a good defender.
He is found wanting more often than not when he's left on one one with his opposite centre.
It be interesting to see Sione's overall miss tackle stats.
Thanks 1qaz.
Completely agree re defence. Definitely a highlight reel player in D. People tend to remember the monster hits and not the times he shoots out of the line and misses. Although if someone runs directly at him I think he has good technique.
Gagai 2015: 10.2 tackles 2.6 missed per game
Gagai 2016: 8.6 tackles 2.8 missed per game
Sione 2016: 12 tackles 3.1 missed per game
One of them gets crucified as a turnstile...
Not surprised at all with the stats.
Last season he was getting beaten on the outside by his opposite centre.
This season he seems to be rushing the opposition so the ball doesn't get out to the centre.
He'll end up in the backrow.
Like you said he can tackle when a player runs straight at him not around him.
It's Greg Eden's fault.
Peter Badel from Courier Mail claims we are a good chance of getting Greg Eden from Broncos. Classy fullback who Browny coached in UK. I think this is the start of Browny's SL recruitment drive. If we do sign Eden,there is a strong chance Dane will be back to centre. Eden is a pure fullback.
He is a fullback. He is not a winger or a centre. That is all that needs to be said. Lions don't waste their time responding to the views of sheep. Thanks for the desperate attempt to troll though.

Is Eden still coming? :lol:
