I reckon Laulilii is a chance of displacing Staines but at this point I think he needs more time. That could change though. To'a has the ability to push his way back into that side and he can play on a wing and in the centres. There will also be injuries.
I can't believe the club resigned AD. The guy has an awesome upside but I think players like him are why we are so crap. He has been paid big dollars, kills it every so often and then plays like a piece of shit most of the time. He could be an okay signing if we didn't have a surplus of players we are trying to get rid of.
It will be interesting how it pans out. If AD can fix his defense and I have seen moments where he does defend well he might make it in the centres but I'm so sick of the guy because he gets your hopes up and then plays like shite. Can you remember when he came back this season. I stated the guy can be awesome and someone said when. I was proved right his first game back. He looked great. Since that one game he has been awful.
Yeh that sound about right Tiger.
My take on AD is since he returned to the Tigers from Souths he's played in a crap team or should I say very unbalanced teams.
AD came as a bit of a savior and he tried to act like that.
However, his willingness often stifles attack by not passing. His defense is sus too and needs to be a tad faster.
The upside is next year the roster is a better one. If we recruit a first class middle then I think AD will hopefully fit into a backline that will hold their own.
He should be doing a lot more straightening the attack and draw and pass rather than trying to beat the opposition on the outside (too slow).
The club signed him on a budget contract to see if he can fit into the new system and also stay fit.
