It was the only good thing about Super League and should definitely be instrumented in all young junior games to stop the imbalance between sides. Nothing more demoralising than standing behind your tryline half the game when you basically don't touch the ball.

Totally agree for junior games.
Not sure about the professionals.

How many games he started at 7 is really irrelevant.

The 7 and 6 don't play that differently. The 7 needs to be more vocal and march his team mates around the paddock. I don't see how Douhie can't do that role. His defence which was suspect is ok now. He has always been a handful in attack.

Adam's defence at centre, particularly outside Luai improved massively and he went okay in his lock stint as well. Sadly, his biggest defensive problem, decision making when playing a little wider in the halves remains.

I would expect that Latu would be able to run at half in non-contact sessions no later than the new year and minor contact shortly after, if there are no complications. Imperfect, but not much difference from rep players returning last season.

Wish I could have some faith in him.
He was supposed to be the diamond in the family but struggles to stay on the field and has one of the worst tackling techniques I have ever seen.

glad its not my money playing the slow burn on ? future stars
So his right to start rnd1?
 
Latu going forward is a real concern, he looks to be going down Benji’s path of continuous injuries while he's young.

We can only hope that he grows out of this brittle state, the team really needs him to be sound and in the side week after week.

100%

But it varies so much with the team you have built.
If you are speedy and can hold the defense, you want to recieve the ball.
If you are very physical and can outmuscle the opposition, you want to kick.

Should be defenders choice or 1 half home side kicks, 2nd half opposition kicks.

Somehow people on here fail to realise that Bula has been in camp with Fiji for the past month or so. Talks will recommence with him next week.

Sure, if we caved and offered the most he wanted he would have signed by now, but instead we're (correctly) holding firm so more direct negotiations will take place soon. As reported by isaac Moses.

He's in New York with his Mrs at the moment too.
