Maybe Sheens is starting to open his eyes.

If only he'd play Farah at Hooker.
And put a proper second rower in the second row

Finally, hope the lazy turn coat doesn't play 1st grade again.

Play first grade again. He be playing international football when most of the tigers will be on holiday.

While Heighno and Farah at home waiting for nexts years country vs city game to roll around so they can play rep footy.

Mate he be playing at the World Cup for Samoa.

He is a little flaky, but full of talent - he'll end up offering more than both Payten and Fulton next year.

He is useless unless he has the ball 10m out, then he might try and score a try. Anywhere else he won't offer a thing. A very selfish player and a very lazy player. I'd rather Payten or Fulton to him, heck, I'd even prefer Corey Payne in the side, at least he is willing to have a go.

“Samoa must be struggling to find talent – Teo is a bludger” Teo has plenty of talent – he might be a bit of bludger at the moment but those two qualities arent mutually exclusive.

Firstly I didn’t say he is better than most of the tigers players.

BluntD – said I hope he doesn’t see first grade again.

It’s the simple truth he will be most likely playing in the world cup when most of the tigers players will be on holiday.

I do think he will turn out to be better than half of the tigers forward pack including Payten and Fulton possibly as early as next year.

I realise Teo has being ordinary. But he is young and obviously have been under sub-standard coaching and mgmt. Why wasn’t he dropped earlier – any other coach would have.

And to reply to Blunt D

Firstly im not an islander. A kiwi yes. Off course I watch the kiwi players more closely. But you also are a Tiger supporter and off course you have Tigers blinkers on.

Easy to bag the kiwis in the team. But their not the reason they have been losing. After the last game I would be calling Gibbs to be dropped. Three crucial penalties.

When tigers struggle to make the eight next year – Teo will cruise into the eight in the broncos colours.

If Harrisons leaves also you will see them both develop into better players than Payne, Payten and Fulton.
Just because they don’t fire under sheens don’t make them less talented players.

A backrow of Heighno, Ellis and Payten/Fulton = averageness = canberra of past couple of years.

Also funny how you bag Harrison about his defence(overstated considering yous cheer on blokes like Laurie to the max) – yet none of you look who he is defending with. Lawrence, Marshall and Galloway. All have improved but collectively it is weak. Galloway is too slow and doesn’t work across the park in defense like Gibbs does. Marshall tries hard but still marshall and Lawrence makes bad reads.
If any of yous have played any 'real' football (fantasy doesnt count) you would understand that Defense is a collective thing. While teams like Manly and Melbourne have sound defense it comes from the coaching. Tigers just turn up like park footy by the looks.

If you actually watch Harrison he makes a fair few tackles and works around the park a bit.

Firstly, i don't doubt Teo's ability, but his commitment. Any bloke the size of him that was happy to go to half and give it to Hodgo to do the hit up into the forwards lacks commitment.

Second, i don't think anyone is questioning the "kiwi" side of things. It's an individual thing, wouldn't matter if they were pink,yellow white or green. Yes defence must work as a team collectively, but you still have to have the commitment and heart to throw your body on the line for a one on one contest, something these guys sometimes struggle with.
oh and for the record, i have played "real" footy.
