Heaven forbid we accept someone is a little off the pace but was still pretty solid without calling for them to be dropped/ sacked/ burned at the stake/ sold to the Tigers. FFS
Not once have I called for French to be dropped all i have said is I believe he should be put back on the wing, while Gutherson goes to fullback when we have a fit squad. The guy killed it there, sorry for making a judgement, hopefully I don't offend you too much in the future.

He is off the pace but even before the injury he wasn't starting our sets off how Guth was, he needs size and needs to run back harder without the stutter, injury hasn't changed that.

We understand no one likes being shown up, but Alvaro proved you wrong, you just need to get over it

Why cause he played good against Souths? When Alvaro backs up weekly and does it against the big boys like the Roosters, Sharks or Melbourne maybe then ill be shown up but I certainly won't be losing sleep over him playing good against a rabble of a Souths team.

Just a little observation from what I saw in the Rabbits game but didn't Tepai look much better running off a proper number 7??!

I feel like Moses made him look better because he game him the ball in a good position a few times.

I hadn't really thought of it previously but perhaps Moses will really be the making of Teps as a barnstorming backrower, we all know he has great defence but I loved his attacking involvement on Friday.

Wait so is it 2 or 4 good games he has to play?

As 40/20 said on TCT, Tep should really enjoy having Moses inside him.

It helps because Moses is a specialist right side half where Tepai plays.

I said this almost a year ago, Moses would the best fit for us when Foran left. I am stoked it has become a reality.

Whatever it is that floats your boat mate, whatever you accept as a good way to gauge a player. Everyone here has very different perceptions of that, that is for sure.
Seems to me though if he plays a bad game soon, you'll be the one saying "I told you so" even though we can't apparently gauge a player off just a single game

Assuming things now are we?

You forget the fact that if I am wrong it's for the better of our team so i'll happily accept being wrong, but I will not start losing my mind after his played a few good games against average opponents.


If he produces against big teams and does it consistently not one offs, then i'll happily admit I was wrong.

and what about that little right foot step once he got the ball off Moses that got him through the line when he scored that first try of the game. Brilliant!

Yeah you're right I was assuming. We all know if he played shit, you'd be on here saying it was only one bad game and he is good enough to make the top 17 in any team

They're not a rabble because of their pack. You can take that to the bank.
