We Miss Leuluai

[vvvrulz]

"We have to be better, but look, take key people out of every team and see how they go. It's not just Shaun. We're missing Thomas Leuluai who was our starting hooker, he was playing terrific before he was hurt," McFadden said.

I don't think he wound have made an ounce of difference, Leuluai was there during our 2013 and 2014 crashes. Especially at hooker, hasn't really done anything of note. I do struggle as to why he's rated so highly.

grasping at straws... absence of an obvious game plan key too

T.L would be an upgrade to Townsend end of story. I think loads of hate towards T.L is uncalled for especially as he has one of the best defenses via a half. He also steady's the ship way better than the Chad. (Mind you that is no feat but still)

1. RTS
6. Thomas Leuluai
7. Magic Johnson
9. Issac Luke

I dunno about stating the obvious but that seems way more solid than anything we have chucked out there this season

But McFadden was talking about him as a 9.... and tbh the team has been better with Chad at 6

But what happens if any of them get hurt, or when Luke inevitably gets suspended for being a grub?

Chad is not the answer it's pretty obvious he has nothing in his arsenal to threaten an under 12s team. If we did a poll and despite the hate T.L gets from some fans. He would rank higher than the Chad.

Hooker is going to our main man Issac Luke and T.L possibly could be a super sub or even Lolohea even though he should be one of our centres. The kid is good as a FB, Wing & Centre. Half not so much.

May have to do another thread for 2016 team update on who we will pick
