Tapped on the shoulder

he has gone backwards since the early part of the year

Long year in the NRL, young player. It is to be expected.

Has Galvin gone? Wouldn’t surprise me with his path now bottle necked. 😩

No way. He is seen as a massive part of our future with Da Silva, Lauliliis, Fainus & the like.

All speculation that he was the player Buzz were referring to.

Everyone remember. He is 18, has never played above SG Ball and we've given him a Top 30 contract.

Tell me what other club would give him a top 30 deal and if they did, for shits & giggles, where would he be higher in the halves pecking order than the WTs.

Yep,,, They need him to come good because I think the outside backs shelves look bare…fingers crossed

Whereas I would argue that he, Tupou, has become more consistent and cut out some errors as part of his overall improvement over the season.

I genuinely think they were referring to Conti and when they said Aus Schoolboys they were just playing loose with the truth in that he played in the carnival but didn't make the actual merit team.

Yeah true, or could have been Iverson Matai (nowhere to be seen since the article) or Wakeham (was a star schoolboy). Who knows!

I thought he was going really well the first 8 games or so… then lost confidence particularly under the high ball… they moved him off the wing so the coaches must have had concerns as well…

He has improved the last few weeks to be fair from that mid season slump…but he has a way to go to be a solid NRL first grader in my view…

 

[Bellend]

It is either Conti or Mason that they are referring to but everybody in Tiger land knows Conti is the Union hit list. Mason is another one who is frustrated with how Flegg was ran this year. Very distinct lack of direction shown by the club this year.

Are you able to provide more context here?

So we pretty well agree. Junior has just turned 21 and will likely play at 100kg plus of muscle next season, minus the 'puppy fat' and most of the errors, and with more confidence.

He debuted in the middle of last year, playing 4 matches and been a regular this season. Now timely developing into a solid player some halfway to the 50 games point of becoming a truly developed first grader.

Pretty sure that others will come to him with contracts to sign come November.

Not sure we are both “agreeing”… I think he has potential but want to see more improvement in skills and confidence …playing outside Talau didnt help him …I don’t have him in the team as a permanent member yet

Like I said earlier,,, hope he makes it because decent outside backs are few and far between at the club …
