Vaigalu would have returned but injured himself at training in pre-season.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Good to see the NYC side is currently in the top 4 after a slow start !!

 

[ALX25]

Sure, in the Matts, the forward from Sunshine Coast , Sam Wilmot

Not sure if still with the Eels, but recently Sam Wilmot was named in the Sunshine Coast Falcons U16's side to contest the Central Division Carnival in Gladstone.

GL has made 200mtrs+ in last 5 games. Some effort.

 

[Forty20]

He is on track for a heckuva of season. He has played 8 out of a possible 10 games to date and amassed the following numbers:

112 Runs
1653m
14.76m Per Run
14 Line Breaks
89 Tackle Busts
10 Tries

On a per game basis he is churning out (rounded up relevantly):

14 Runs
206.53m
14.76m Per Run
1.75 Line Breaks
11.13 Tackle Breaks
1.25 Tries

If we then extrapolate his efforts from Rounds 3-10 to the remainder of the regulation season (22 of 24 possible games played) he will finish somewhere in the vicinity of:

308 Runs
4545.75m
14.76m Per Run
38.5 Line Breaks
244.75 Tackle Breaks
27.5 Tries

Can Leleisiuao can sustain that level of production? He has arguably improved even further in recent rounds with potentially the individual performance of the season against the Cowboys and then backing it up with a great game against the Roosters - even with a dominant left edge half coming back in to the team in Troy Dargan.

Of course with that sort of form he is probably right in the line for a call up to the Intrust Super Premiership at some point and that would put a big dent in his overall numbers, even if it for his own betterment.

Will b interesting to see how he goes against men

What do you know about the winger from sharks Katoa? Also impressive figures!

Another parra junior doing well elsewhere!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

GL looks promising, what is his pace like? Semi like speed ? Hoffman like?

Sometimes wingers go ok in NYC but lack the speed for the NRL

Tafua would be best comparison for build,size and speed but footwork like slater.

 

[Forty20]

David Nofoaluma is another NRL comparison you can make.
