Do you see any reason why he could not possibly make a successful transition tj the back row and be somewhat similar in playing style to someone like Euan Aitken ?
It won’t be with us as we have clearly already wiped him, but I think he’s got the capability of making a successful transition to the back row for whatever club gives him that chance.
He is not up to Koe week in week out. His time has passed.
Flegg delayed. Lightning.

Huge!!! Tigers score twice in 4 minutes at the death. Tavana scores and kicks the match winning goal from 10m in from sideline to win the game 26 to 24.

Wow that’s unreal
Sounds like a very good win on the road, I’ll have to watch the replay later.

Just watched replay.
TINO TAVANA sign him up Wests Tigers ffs right now!
Moved to fullback with 10 to go and was Bula like elusive. Scored equaliser & kicked clutch conversion 10m in after the siren.
Not only that, his aerial efforts again are amazing. His vertical leap would challenge Bula. One handling error which unfortunately brought Canberra back into it.
Also he was the victim of an ugly hip drop in 2nd half, clutched at his lower leg, but thankfully got back up after a few mins.
Tino Tavana, sign him up FFS.

Plus he scored a length of field try with a nice intercept showing good toe!

Give him a go in Cup next week assuming Naden gets the call up for Toa.

So good! Recovered after making a momentum changing error to come up with the clutch moments of the game and deliver his side a win. The more I watch him play, the more I want to see his name announced on a contract with us from next year. Incredible talent!
On another note....how good is Solo Saukuru going! Great try and try assist in that 2nd half. Could be a beast moving forward if they continue to keep him in that 2md row position. It just suits him so much more!

Was that in the first half? I only jumped in live at the beginning of the 2nd half (when NRL finished up).

Tavana & Saukuru were our best for sure!
The win keeps our slim top 5 hopes alive but regardless plenty of green shoots this season.
Some quick notes on the game ...
Good standard of footy in wet conditions against the team coming 2nd on the ladder.
Logan Deininger was threatening with the ball, did make a costly error early. Went off with about 10 to go, not sure why, maybe just to bring Laupepa on with a reshuffle Tavana to fullback.
We led by 2 with 13 to go & were on top, with a knock on out of yardage by Tavana the turning point for the Raiders. They scored back-to-back tries to hit the lead - the 2nd one from a silly penalty from Maataale to get them down our end. Ironically Tavana & Maataale were 2 of our best all game.
Some great enterprise led by Iverson Matai, Haywood, Lanyon, Tavana at fullback secured an amazing win in the final 5 mins.
Haywood was all class, just love how he presents his passes in front of his runners for forward momentum, it's a beautiful thing.
When Mitch Taotua came on at right backrow, he was HUGE with his runs!
This was part of a very interesting reshuffle, Lachlan Broederlow went to prop and actually looked very good. May be a masterstroke by Sultana, he was strong in attack there & not a likely to be found out with his susceptible lateral defence.
For me, Tavana, Saukuru, Haywood, Mitch Taotua, Maataale, Matai & Lanyon were our best. Leatigaga was also strong in his stints & Logan as usual. Lanyon does have the odd bad missed tackle in his game but they are few and far between. Matai can still be a liability in defence at times.
But, can someone send a telegram to Richo please ... sign up Air Tino Tavana now - we have development spots available. This kid has x-factor, skill & decent speed, just needs to get a bit stronger in contact to work on his defence.

Deininger looked to be hobbling in the in goal when Raiders scored the try to re-take the lead towards the end of the game. Hopefully nothing too serious.
Agree completely with Taotua and Broederlow. Would be noce to see them try this a bit more in coming weeks.
