Stef is one of those high risk contracts. Everyone can see he has the ‘potential’ to be a top level prop. Yet we have all seen this movie… and in his case 80% of the time doesn’t play anywhere near his potential.

I hope you’re right, but like others have noticed, the instant there was SOO talk his effort dropped off a cliff. Terrible sign of his character or unfortunate coincidence

Excellent Podcast. I particularly enjoyed the pathways conversation. I’ll take any glimmer of hope

We put muscled them. Our defensive line speed and power was incredible. They were just shell shocked. Remember… they were up 6-0 and looked good. We then just went over the top of them

Same. Honestly… I am sooo happy to be wrong

Just saying… both of these players had unbelievable second halves.

so who is going to own the post that is the first one of page 10,000

Well said. My stubborn gut disagrees, but I can’t dispute any of above. I appreciate you putting the time into this post. Stupid Tigers gut, can’t even look forward to Luai… what is wrong with me

That view is interesting to me as I haven't observed that. Can you share what you base that opinion on?

It’s posts like these that make the off season better than the actual season. HOPE

An innovative way to attract a player like Korro (or equivalent) would be to offer to take one of our home games (or trial games) to his birth country
