^ Pretty good!

If he doesn't get injured he will make his debut at some point next season IMO. He'll be 20 in May next year and he's already built enough to handle it.

For sure. Despite not being as tall as Puletua or Pritchard. He has stronger legs and is faster. Doesn't throw stupid passes which is always handy

 

[Panther_Daz]

He will have a similar build to Sika Manu/Anthony Watmough.

Yeah has their leg speed as well

I remember he had one season for HM or SG that he absolutely dominated 2/3 years ago. He scored 15-20 tries over the season and regularly got 2/3 a game. Really glad he's kicked on.

Between himself, Gibb and Sene-Lefao I think we can have a pretty strong backrow in a couple years.

That was HM 2008. I saw most of that year and he absolutely killed them. Best player in the comp.

He actually got Harold Matts player of the year that year....

He is a plodder. You are wrong again stretch.

Given I have been harsh on the team in the past. I must applaud them on tonights outstanding performance.

It's a shame we will fall short of the semi's. A great turn around none the less. Tia-kilifi was outstanding again. Starting to run some nice angles & get some good offloads away. Siejka's stint in 1st grade improved his workrate. Ran almost 100 to stop a breakaway try. Something he hasn't done in the past

they are still i with a very rough outside chance.There has been a massive improvement in this team.They have gone from easy beats to winning games well done bos

With a differential of -160 we need almost a miracle

 

[greenfins]

Yep credit were its due, the team have performed very well in last 3 games. I did not expect such a good showing against Warriors.
Was it that the panthers were very good or Warriors poor?

i saw him in 09 play sgball on the gold coast and he reminded me of a young steve price, not in physique, just in the jobs in a game the coach gave him. things like tapping the ball and just hitting it up from set plays. price did that as a schoolboy for harristown up here in toowoomba the year they almost won the national final. price was purely a backrower for the first 5 or 6 years in grade for the dogs

 

[isaiah]

statistically satini, butfield, and pelasio were the best v the premiers

 

[franklin2323]

We were outstanding. Plenty of pressure in defence we bombed a good 2 or 3 tries. But determined defence saved 3 or 4 of their's. The question is where was this form even mid-season.

Hmmm funny thing that all anyone is talking about is tia kilifi is he still a plodder after his man of the match performance i guess your the only one who thinks im wrong plastic man oops sorry fibro boy....

Fibro, Vaipuna is anything but a "plodder". The potential he is showing is unbelievable, and having watched him closely for a number of years now, I am impressed with his workrate and passion for the game. His speed off the mark is amazing for a guy his size and he already seems to be able to identify when to pop the ball and when not too.

I know I was just disagreeing with Stretch to get a bite.

 

[Big Mick]

Vaipuna has more talent in his left nut than Shane Blackett.
