Simona or Korobete

[BrotherJim05]

Didn't think we would actually be in this position but honestly, I just don't know who we should play on the left wing.

Koro definitely is faster and stronger, however Simona has a better step and a better brain for footy.

Simona takes better option and doesn't make as many errors, but Korobete is just generally a more powerfully built athlete.

Who do you reckon should be picked for round 19?

Koro needs to be much better with his hands. Then he can replace Simona.

 

[Fordy20]

Simona is the incumbent. He hasn't done anything to warrant dropping, in fact it's been quite the opposite. Honestly, after seeing Simona's long range efforts against the Storm, speed isn't something he's lacking

I love Koroibete but he is still way too raw. I think at one point we thought maybe we would have to be patient with him in first grade because we didn't have options but now we do. I've always liked Simona, waiting anxiously hoping this Simona to Sharks rumour is just that a "rumour". Simona has to stay in first grade !!!

Can he play fullback? Simona or tedesco?

 

[R2Coupe]

Simona can play fullback but he is doing well on the wing. I think Tedesco's competition will come from the NYC.

Would you want Nofoaluma. Simona or Korobeite sitting in NSW Cup being eyed off by other clubs? All three will learn more in the NRL.

 

[benched tiger]

It's not a bad problem,debating speed and talent compared to the other past slow options of Utai,Lote and Reddy.

 

[magpie guy]

I'd want both in the team. I know it is kinda my agenda at the moment but I would move Ayshford to the second row to accommodate Simona. Has Simona or Koro played right wing before? I would be tempted to put Nofa inside Simona on the right.

 

[hutch]

Ayshford to the second row could work, but he'd be another very small second rower in our already extremely small backrow.

 

[magpie guy]

Ayshford to the second row could work, but he'd be another very small second rower in our already extremely small backrow.

He is actually bigger than Anasta, Fulton, Sue and about the same size as Thompson and Pettybourne, so he is not actually that small. I do agree though that we really need to sign a big, mean, dominant second rower for next season and Ayshford is not going to fill that role.

Long term, Koroibete.
For now I'd have him come back via NSW Cup to regain some confidence.
