Semi Radradra: The Crystal Ball Thread

[Twizzle]

Semi could also play centre. It'd be a bit of a learning curve for him, but not outside the realms of possibility.

I believe he has been playing a bit of centre in France. I guess they just see him as one of those players whom you just want to see get his hands on the ball.

Would be a massive waste. Then again Latrell Mitchell makes less than ten carries per game at centre and his team still manages to win.

I actually think we may pass on Semi. He would want too much and our backline has moved on.

Yes he has but the positions aren't quite the same between two different codes. Doesn't mean he can't do it though. Can we afford 3 top line wingers without too much sacrifice elsewhere, especially in the forwards is the question that should be asked.

Maybe he can play second roe

That's where Salmon will end up.

I hope he stays in France.
If we can’t have him, I don’t want anyone else in the NRL to have him either.

We definitely have the best outside backs.

The Roosters have 6 Internationals filling their 5 outside backs sports - Tedesco, Tupou, Mitchell, Manu, Morris, Ryan Hall.

I dare say they're outside backs are better.

I'm sure they can find a way to sqeeze Semi in as well.

I don't consider fullback to be an outside back. It's part of the spine.

Morris, Hall and Manu are ordinary. They obviously look good in a good team like any outside back. Tupou is good but not as good as our wingers. Mitchell is obviously a gun, but on balance I rate our four better than their best four.

Manu ordinary? I think he's better than that.

Yep. He’s a gun that rarely lets his team down.

I'll take the opinion of experienced rugby league people who select representative teams before I do a numptie keyboard warrior...but thanks anyway.

 

[Eelogical]

How come the gun for hire who went to greener pastures two years ago gets 35 pages on here yet our rookie NRL top try scorer can't even get 7? Bunch of nostalgic chumps.........

 

[T.S Quint]

Manu is a good player. I think he’d be good at any club, tbh.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Manu ordinary? I think he's better than that.

He's half as good as Latrell Mitchell, who looks pretty ordinary himself at Origin level. Both players look far better than they are at the Roosters (as did Jennings), but Mitchell is at least a legitimate star.

Manu reminds me a lot of Vaeliki.

By that idiot logic Brad Takairangi and Kallum Watkins are also international outside backs. Some rep teams are nothing to hang one's hat on. Outside of Origin (and the Aussie team) plenty of players make rep teams for the simple fact that their countries lack genuine rep-class players at some positions.

He's 7/10 as good as Mitchell imo. And neither have played outside of the roosters so your assertion that they look better there cannot be scientifically verified. (unless you count rep games where the #samplesize is too small).

Manu has outplayed Mitchell a number of times over the past two seasons. He’s more consistent then him too, but as for potential, Mitchell’s ceiling is higher. Saying he’s half as good as Mitchell is a stretch..
