Dont think he is but he should be the way he is playing been killing it in isp big strong 5/8 with ball skills and a good goal kicker as well

Apparently he has a really big boot on him too.

He only signed a 1 year deal with us though, could be hard to keep him I think.

Time for mass changes.

1. Egan starts on place of Katoa who goes to NSW Cup
2. CHN to NSW cup, not sure who the next one up is, but has to be better that CHN.
3. Kikau has to start form the bench. He looks too tired out there. He is not an 80 minute player.
4. Tamau to start, RCG to bench (for impact)
5. DWZ to fullback bring in Phillips/Chriton
6. Peach to #6
7. May to the bench (cover for hooker, half, lock)

I have been Tamou's biggest critic but he has been very good recently I have to say. He needs to start the game.

He made more metres than any of our forwards on Saturday in just 36 minutes. Perhaps he is playing for a contract elsewhere.

RCG needs to start living up to the hype. He very rarely runs for over 140m per game. He has a couple of big hits and Martin Lang type runs each game and then goes missing.

Some comparisons to other rep standard middle forwards, games with over 140m in 2018.

RCG - 3

Klemmer - 17
Taumalolo - 16
Taupau - 15
Arrow - 12
Gallen - 11
Lodge - 10
Taukeiaho - 10
S.Burgess - 10
Trbojevic - 9
Brown - 9
Fifita - 8
Fonua-Blake - 8
Vaughan - 7

He needs to put his hand up and lead the way. 9 runs in 51 minutes against an average Newcastle pack isn't good enough for a NSW and Australian prop.

His runs can change the momentum of a game so we need to see more of them.

I'd back Egan to play 80 tbh.

So would I.

Wow no Panthers.

Yeah that's terrible.

I read when he first got the Panthers and he was playing terribly he wouldn't go out in the city out of embarrassment. Ciraldo's big thing is he's a people person. Maybe he's getting the best out of Tamou because an encouraging coach is the type of coach Tamou needs like Soward did.
