Yeah he’s not playing at that value but wouldn’t you shop Staines and keep the international? Its rumored we are still tipping up IP to panthers. He just didn’t want to be here.
I’d be telling him he needs to put on 5-6kg of muscle this off season so he can bust tackles. Otherwise, next.
You need a suitor.
Of course, hence Richo flying to uk.
Sorry Mrs Staines, no offence your son is a bit of a softcock when playing for our team.
Our definition of playing with heart must differ. He has a crack.
If his only reason for staying with us is an undeserved upgrade, I'd be happy for him to go now. Stop dicking around & sign or leave.
Don’t think so Galvin will be heading at second row or lock as he fills out. Plus we get heaps of injuries Latu will get his chance.
Like always just grounding the ball in the ingoal without ever trying to get out. Also great when he gets a few chances ti take on his winger down the sideline but wimps out.
Why would he want to earn 500-600K as an undersized back rower when he’s probably a few years off being a $million halves player if he continues on the same curve.
Perhaps. That’s fair enough but I see him making those countless tough runs into traffic, regardless of the score line (esp when we are beat: and not saying he’s always effective) and often late into games when other blokes just aren’t there.
Lot of water to flow under the bridge yet, Jedi. I'm hoping we can fit all 3 into the team & play a style that uses all their strengths.
Unless he busts a tackle or gets a quick play the ball those runs don’t really add much value to the team.he’s Beau Ryan-esque this year.
Moses will have him out of here quickly if he is moved to lock or second row,plenty of clubs would have him as a 6
Gotta think in 3 years time quite a few senior halves have retired, no chance he moves out of the halves.
Didn't he have 5 - 6 different centre pairings in those 3 weeks? Needs a reliable centre inside him, I think he needs to move to the left with olam.
What’s his greatest strength? I’d say we expected he would use his speed to turn half chances into tries when we paid good money for him. He sees space at the moment and cringes. Needs to be dropped to score a few braces/hat tricks & regain some confidence.
Firstly, why can’t we keep both and secondly, no one knows at this stage what Latu can genuinely bring. He may be the long term 6 and Galvin the long term lock…both used as ball players.
