Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

players with his level of talent learn very quickly.

you only have to look at Casey McLean at Penrith and his turnaround there. labelled a defensive liability, too young and far too green up until about 12 months ago when he magically turned a corner.

don’t be surprised if Heamasi does something similar.
Chris Lawrence was poor defensively in his first season. By the time he retired, his defence was outstanding.
 
As does every young player.
They all have to start somewhere.
Play the comment not the person....last person called him a great young player .....he isn't even a good young player yet
...let alone great

Issy Katoa is a good young half .....and you can't compare the two yet

I remember it more like this it took him a few years to learn centre defence and was slaughtered by quality guys like Gasnier. Then when he finally got the hang of if and started to square up he got injured, lost his one asset, speed. Moved to second row and took an eternity to get the hang of that. When he finally started to square up the ledger he got smashed in the face and was never really the same. Good clubman tough and give his all but outstanding defensive player is not how I remember him.
