Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That's the point- we have plenty of players that retain FG positions because there are no better players to compete for them. Eisenhuth Cheekham both come to mind as players who got smashed on here and both went to stronger clubs and played plenty of FG off the bench and or in run on side when players were injured.

Eisunhith and Cheekhan were much better players …

let’s just see if Benji picks him …

You really think he’ll struggle to get a game in this squad? 😅

Nope, they were pretty much the same level. That’s why they are fringe first graders elsewhere. Just like he’d be.

yeah .. because Benji is smarter then Sheens

There is no basis for this comment. You are just hoping.

Yep ..:we will see where Kepaoa ends up.. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Dubbo

Even if they were, what does it prove?

I have a low opinion of Sheens …doubt Benji could be that bad

Im answering your response … is that ok?

So it proves nothing then. Thought so.

You do know Benji coached the last 3 games and AJ played all of them right? Plus, it’s ridiculously naive to think, seeing as how Benji was being groomed for the head coaching gig, that he didn’t have a big say in team selections while Sheena was here. He was talking to players when it came to recruitment, you don’t think he had a hand in selecting the side each week?

We’ll never know for sure …

if Benji keeps picking him next season … I will be just as critical as I was of Sheens … happy now?

 

[AdelaideTiger]

His hands are his biggest issue, physicality isn't.

I think it's his concentration and general awareness, which has a flow on effect to cause simple handling errors.

What we do know is that Benji still had in the team after Sheens was gone. So talking about him not being around in 2024 in absolutes is only building yourself up for disappointment.

It’s hard to blame him. Blame the club for putting themselves in a position where players of his calibre are in the top 17. He’s a fringe first grader anywhere else. Here, he’s a regular starter. And given all the resources the club have, that’s on them.

It's not even this simple. Who is better - Pauga or Kepaoa ? I reckon Kepaoa by miles. Pauga gets a starting job for the rorters. Remember how highly rated Momo was. The guy was ordinary. He isn't a first grader. For some reason people still mention him on here as a signing target.

I'm not sold on Kepaoa but I'd state he is a borderline first grader who can play much more first grade over his career than guys like Momo or Pauga.

I think its a far better comparison Kepaoa to Pauga than Kepaoa to Eisenhuth and Chee Kam. Both on the same level, and both fringe first graders at most clubs. It’s just had to argue a negative because we have seen Pauga do it, but AJ is still here playing every week so 🤷🏻‍♂️
