Man, I can't believe you're still blowing the trumpet for Toa after all the crap performances in 1sts and cup this year, playing with no balls, maybe he could make it as a soprano opera singer.

between toa and herbert absolutely pick toa.
Herbert ain't up to it
between toa and another centre option then different story.
Would prefer toa moved on if possible but very happy he is in the 19 not many other options at present

For mine, Herbert and Toa are a coin toss.

You weren't watching the Cronulla game closely enough mate, running out of the line standing and watching the opposition run through instead of trying to get back and help defend.

Look if his shoulder's done, get surgery, if the report's true and it can't be fixed it is time to find a new profession.

I thought it was his arm/elbow that was the issue...shoulder was a previous injury. Anyway I'm hoping so as medical retirement would not be an option if it was his shoulder as its an old injury.

Who knows for sure man, he's constantly holding the shoulder at times and wincing, but he wears that full length sleeve as well.

You would swear the whole lot is buggered, remove it all and replace with a bionic, best fend/tackler in the NRL then.

I saw it and commented here about it. Herbert puts in more effort but has about the same level of effectiveness.

The issue I have with Tavana isn't necessarily the errors he made. That was diabolical, but you can just have shockers like that. The issue is he's too small and weak in his carries on the wing. He needs to put some size on. It's why I'd rather risk Skelton who is generally more error prone, because at least he gives you some of the best yardage hitups for a back.

I think Latu may be a better match with Luai in the 7 too. Madden and Doueihi worked well because Doueihi played as a proper 6 on both sides. Luai just sits on the left and doesn't do much else, leaving Madden to take on more of the creative load than he should. Madden needs to be playing first receiver, setting our shape and digging into the line. He's not gonna create us points otherwise, except maybe off some kicks.

I think Tavana is there for his chasing of bombs. Not his kick returns or start again 10m out.
NO-ONE last game [Manly] came within a bulls raw to put pressure on the fullback. They were back in our half after a couple of plays. They were all just lazy, dumb or just too slow. We badly missed some serious chasers.

Well, that should solve the debate mate, would much rather the player who's trying harder than the other guy standing around looking perplexed.

Have to agree. I would prefer neither Herbert or Toa, however on effort Herbert is better. Toa just seems to be completely uninterested in both the cup games and first grade games I have seen him play, and I feel that Herbert can overplay his hand a little which leads to errors.

A few observations from yesterday's training pics ...

To'a in non-contact singlet
Mav Geyer features prominently in pics (good sign he's getting a run)
Tavana doing bomb catching practice on the mats
Glassie Glassie at right centre in the reserves team next to Sukkar

Happy about Glassie Glassie in the picture.
Coach of Jersey Flegg - Shane Sultana, had him as a non-player, with the reserves.
Have a great respect for Shane's selections. Suspect some method in his and Benji's madness.
To'a the decoy?

Wish this young fella Glassy Glassy was older and ready for 1st grade, reports are he's a real goer.
