I can't think of a single area where Luke is close to Turuva.
Not even a fair contest.
Luke is Turuva-lite.
And what Turuva brings in culture to the club...
I think Bula would make a great winger. Daniel Tupou-like.
However we're paying him as an elite fullback and he's not close to that yet.
Hopefully will develop a few more strings to his bow and get there.
Mason is so completely ineffective in every aspect of rugby league
He runs around catches, passes, runs, kicks and does all the things a rugby league player should do however does absolutely nothing to positively impact the game. Coaches gauge player performance by each individual play...
Full credit to Toa and Seyfarts. They cop a lot of criticism but have been great the last two weeks.
Sukkar continues to improve. Will turn into a good hybrid forward.
Sione and Pole continue to frustrate with so many terrible plays along with some good plays.
Neither are starters.
Makasini...
Pretty clear that the future of the Tigers is Andrews and Latu with Heyward
Be good to see them stay together in 2027 and get reps in NSW Cup with taste of First Grade in spurts.
2028 Luai gone and Doubbie at lock or 14 and Api interchanging with Heyward.
Saukuru deserves a shot. Tavana will...
Manase might have been the last quality Polynesian #9
People might be getting a bit carried away. He was sound only, and that's not a bad thing for a debut. We have a set low bar with Hope.
Defence was good. Offensively was zero threat at the ruck passing or running. Passing game was sound...
Best memory at Leichhardt is being about 20m away on the fence when Farah belted the bejesus out of Anthony Watts v the Cowboys in a scrum in about 2010 following Watts' dog shot a few scrums before.
Crowd went farkin nuts!
3 Luai
2 Sayfart
1 Bunty
Bunty was very good
Toa was very very good
Sayfart was about as good as he can be
Pole was excellent (until his bad drop)
Turuva runs from deep were great (one bad mistake)
