he has the desire. he has a but if speed.i just think he could replace a few pounds with muscle and gain a bit more agility.

Great post. Our whinging fans seem to think other clubs don't have fringe first graders in their squads. Or because our best forward isn't as good as Andrew Fifita that it's the fault of our least talented top 25 forwards.
No, it's Mannah's fault...

Here's a hint: it's related to why we often have both hookers on the field together, despite the size disadvantage that results.

And the double entendre goes sailing over his head...

Here's another chance, from the same post:
Plus he is quick.

As for error proneness, he makes about one error every two games.
Going off too quick every second time isn't too bad an error rate, I guess...?

I wasn't whinging - I was asking a legitimate question.

Peni has a lot of potential, but I just don't see what he adds at this moment.

But like you said, he's probably in the 17 at the moment due to injuries.

I just find it peculiar that Arthur seems to think so highly of him, when he doesn't seem like an Arthur style of player.

I don't think Terepo has much potential at all. He is unlikely to get much better - maybe his handling will continue to improve.

I also don't think he walks in to our top 17, but he is probably our number one backup player in the middle. And I do think he's an Arthur type player in defence. As for his attack, he seems to spend most of his minutes making decoy runs.

I think he's willing to make good contact in defence, but his marker work and line speed can be found wanting sometines.

I like how he runs the ball so hard, and he's very quick and mobile, but he makes little impact.

I wonder if he'd be better served running a little wider?

A small change of direction just before the line would do Penis Torpedo wonders. Learning to touch the inside shoulder should be his priority.

Thehard, straight running looks great but you're just setting yourself up to be put on your arse.

But genuine first graders would cost more than we're paying Terepo. Probably a lot more, and they would require us to involve them more in our gameplan in order to get our money's worth.

Obviously 'involvement' is a zero sum equation. There are limited minutes in a game, and only so many touches and runs to distribute amongst your attackers.

The fact Terepo has only missed one game (round 4) suggests that he is no longer considered a fringe first grader and the almost 10 hit ups and 23 tackles per game is sufficient involvement to warrant an increase in expenditure to upgrade the position.

I noticed with interest that there's a photo of Taks in the middle of a training drill with a blue shirt, could be a late inclusion for Sunday maybe??

And surely he wouldn't be doing that exercise if he had a leg / hamstring strain injury

Massively overrated by the Parra fanbase IMO, and no I'm not talking about the illiterate douchebag that posts on here.
