It has to be off field or intangiable stuff because most of those don't address the on field performance. I don't think there was a discernable difference between him and Friend. I agree he should run more, the few runs he did make were very effective, one was a clean line break that should have set up a try if it wasn't for some bad work by the outside player. In the end they decided to go with the equal who is retiring at the end of the season over the 22 year old they have under contract for next season, so he must be pretty bad behind the scenes I guess.
I think it's ridiculous that Cappy has him in for 2 games then out. What was the purpose of that? - Its evident that Halvili hit his growth curve, very little improvement over the last 2 seasons, it would appear for all intensive purposes he will only ever be a NSW cup standard player unless he went to a Storm, Dragons or Roosters where they drilled him to greater success. The only players that make it at the Warriors are the mentally strong ones who already know how to play, not one's that need that much coaching.
Halvili could become something of a player at a club that will bust and break him to make it. Warriors just dont have that DNA - they need to spend massive money just to have some kind of Marquee player.
It was the Daniel Anderson era that gave us true genuine home built marquee players like Toopi, Meli, Jones, Villsanti, Faumuina, Hohaia, Webb, Seuseu, PJ Marsh, Lauitiiti emerging to prominence. Anderson was a son of a bi$ch with laying the law down and the players rose to the occassion.
You just feel Cappy is way to nice a guy - punishes them by dropping them, not by manning them up
