Speaking of mavoni
Have heard jack all about him since he left

He's done brah.

Back to local comp level stuff last I heard.

Is he a local jr?

congrats to Fonua. club identified him and stole him from the Storm and he has progressed very quickly since. this year his stats in KOE Cup in a losing side have been very impressive. averages around 10 metres a run and very rarely misses tackles. he deserves this and is an audition for a spot on the bench permanently next year. rip in son.

Well written JR. We are now starting to see the emergence of a new wave of talent at WTs. This is a very exciting time for WTs. The next challenge will be to fend off the vultures.

Looked decent. Nothing outstanding but he didn't look out of place. 37 tackles 1 missed. Not bad.

 

[jadtiger]

He was better than some including the coach

Great debut

Looking at that game one would be forgiven for thinking we don’t even have a coach.

He is young and he didn't do anything really wrong. He wasn't good though.

We need rookies to come in and have an impact.

Very hard when only 1 forward is having any impact (Joffa)

 

[Buttface]

Should get another run next week off that debut.

I would prefer our experienced players have an impact Earl.For a 20 year old prop in front of a full house of screaming Kiwis I thought he went great. His future looks bright.

How can you say he wasn't good? He was our second best forward today. 37 tackles in 43 minutes. We had no ball his first 15 minutes. A couple of strong runs in the 2nd half suggest his go forward will get better and be good with more experience. We looked our best the first 15 minutes after half-time when we had Pole and Stef up front

To say he wasn't good really isn't taking into account the circumstances of the game, the crap he is surrounded by, and the fact he is just 20 years old. He was very good IMO.

Joins the ever shrinking "least of our problems" club....after 1 game😢

Thought he was real good and will only get better, outplayed Seyfart and Musgrove.
