Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

On a lower tier contract or even T&T...he's a valuable player- unless his form has fallen off a cliff.

Put it this way- Twal/Joffa on $500-$600k vs Seyfarth/Mikeale on $250-$400....how much difference is there, really, in the production on the field?
Had high hopes for Mikaele...
Rarely had a decent performance though.

Always looked uninterested.

I don't remember him being too bad.

He was very young & inconsistent- but he was also a member of a significantly worse forward pack. If he is your 5th choice prop in the club, 6th choice...your depth is pretty good. There's talent to go with the size. If he's a late bloomer- it's a bargain.
 
Umm....

On a lateral sweep, two things, and minor variations of those two things, contribute to the effectiveness of edge defence;

i) Can the sliding defence mitigate the speed of the half/fullback's speed to outside of his man?

Or

ii) Can an up and in defence kink the sweep through jamming, by shutting down the half (early jam) or centre /fb (late jam)?

A collapsing middle can lead to a number shortage out wide, but this is generally accumulative over a set, rather than a measure of effectiveness of an edge for a particular play.
Or a lazy/immobile middle.
 
The the national champs last year for Under 16s the 100m was run in 11.05 seconds. If this kid runs that fast he should give up footy and run for Australia - funny he wasn't even in the race
Interesting. Mate who has kids at Scots just sent me the link to watch the GPS Athletics Champs which were on earlier today. Onitoni Large ran a 10.93 into a headwind in 31 degrees to win the champs as a 16 year old. Haemasi Makasini ran a couple of races earlier also.

If that's the case we may not see him in the NRL. If he's that good he'd make more money as an athlete.

Just watched it, such an effortless running gait.
Hard to beleive the kid is still only 16. Weapon
 
Well slowly got there I suppose , looked ok last night , would look ok in our centres compared to this year
He came from the Keebra Park players, someone up there said he was the next Steve Renoof (spelling?).

Watched him here and was ordinary.
I think some young players overrate themselves and don't realise for some time they really must knuckle down and do the hard training yards.
The big money needs a big effort!
They may eventually realise but mayebe a club or two away from teenage years.
Don't forget his stunning junior rep career
