Yes Alvaro too, and I nearly included him. But we know Scott and Moeroa will be in the middle concurrently with Vave late in the first half. Alvaro is currently being used in a 20 minute burst in the second half, and I don't know which middle forwards he is sharing time with.
Another defensive player benefiting from us taking an early lead.
I reckon Evans and Terepo are similar players - fast, high energy tackle breakers. Evans is better though.
I don't think anyone overrates him. But in comparison to Alvaro it seems Arthur's rates Terepo higher. He betters Alvaro in two key areas - missed tackles and tackle breaks. I dare say Terepo is on more money though, and as you say is likely to get more elsewhere than we are offering (or would have prior to his injury).
... he starts games...
And when we lead early on he gets to make more carries, both because we have more ball and because we can spend more tackles grinding through the middle. Plus if we score while Mannah is on the field he usually takes the kickoff return.
Do you think other clubs have made the finals without these two factors?
True. And I knew I should have put a comma between loser and baby. Although the idea of a loser baby is kinda funny.
That's a big call. It may be right but my impression of him was he was a solid player who matured early but never really improved after that. And was chosen as captain more for his temperament than his talent.
