So after watching the CS game in February I was thinking that young Finau had elevated himself in the pecking order to grab a 1sts position, 4 tries in any game at the very least shows promise no matter the opposition.
Mug Fan ?
Agree young Couchman is a middle forward or nothing.
Unfortunately Nick T may have played his only game in 1sts this season barring injuries and suspension. In my view he should not retain that centre spot. Dont get me wrong this kid is a keeper moving forwards but not at centre.
I don't know but something I noticed in yesterdays game. He had a really good game. Strong carries a number of times, safe under the high ball. But I noticed twice he rushed in off his wing, absolutely needlessly and tackled nothing but thin air. Why does he do that?So after watching the CS game in February I was thinking that young Finau had elevated himself in the pecking order to grab a 1sts position, 4 tries in any game at the very least shows promise no matter the opposition.
So what has happened to him
There has to be some internal issue with Finau surely? As I indicated in reply to
Mug Fan post after watching his effort in the CS, 4 tries, I thought that this kid had elevated himself in the pecking order to play 1sts wing.
Klemmer is only signed for this year. Gular, Lawrie and Sele are all still contracted. If all 3 can get moved on, and I think that's what Flanno wants, I think Flanno might promote Liu, Hutchinson and re-sign Klemmer.
Yes saw that as well, reminded me of Rav in his heyday always rushing in , when he hits you go wow, but when he misses which was more often than not you had your head in your hands
In that case I wouldn't re sign Klemmer. I believe our juniors in the forwards are one of the best young talent running around. I think Lui will be a great addition to 1sts in time. I struggle to find any club with so many promising young forwards. Find me 1 decent experienced big bodied prop that can see the future and sign with us and we will once again become a force on the field, one to be feared.
I like him especially his toughness, give him time. But we need to find speed in the backline. I cry everytime I see young Bostock and Tamale play, what if. Oh well you can't change the past but you can ensure it doesn't happen again in the future
At least a bench spot.
Thanks. I'm well aware. With Moses I'd give us little chance. Without I think we should be favourites and were the better team last time.
People don't understand RL

That will be it then, oh well I'm sure that our retention team know what they are doing, as I said in another post I cringe when I see how well Jack B and before his injury S Tamale were going.
Pretty hard to argue except for the last part. Couchman was a massive loss for a team already light on quality front rowers. Egan wasn't as big but still significant.
Need a hb
Agree he is still not there yet mentally, sometimes you have to have that light bulbs moment on the field that makes you realise wow I can match it with the men playing. I thought the try gave him some much needed confidence. To my eye he just isn't hitting the line hard enough with ball in hand
