He didn't bring in the Fainus nor is there any indication he played a role in KPP. He reportedly played a role in bringing in Terrell who then helped land Taylan so I'll give him credit for the Mays. Though I think Roosters cutting Terrell when they did (after other clubs had filled their...

I don't think for a second he would be expecting to get a pay rise from us, regardless of what happens between now and round 10 (I think the deadline is, just from memory. Could be way off). There could be plenty of other stuff happen between now and then that I could see resulting in him...

Indefinitely. Because If I'm Richo I'm talking to other fullbacks not sitting on my hands hoping Bula makes a decision. But until one is signed im continuing to show interest in Bula as well. Also I wouldn't include Luai in this. He has zero reason to remove his clauses. He has said and done...

Bula wasn't in their top side to get pushed out. He was a centre in their 2nds team.

Everything you have said is true. I'm happy we've signed him. I liked him before he was a Tiger and I still like him. I said at the time that he could not possibly perform to his price point but is potentially the circuit breaker the club needed with regards to building something here. It's...

Not sure Bennett or Manly didn't see the value in him. They both offered him contracts at the start of last year. It was Schuster who chose to walk away from that contract mid last year. Why would it change here? Well, it probably won't so I'll change that to why might it change here...

As always comes down to contract value and roster spots. If it's min wage and we still have multiple spots left, I'd be keen. If it was the last spot, I would not. Id much rather have a guy that IF motivated can not just perform at first grade level but be one of our better players (and...

Seems fair for all parties.

Yeah I don't think he was poor at all. Adequate is probably a good description. I see where Tucker is coming from. Samoa dominated possession and territory for most the first half (and game) and had just the two tries to show from it. One was a bit of ball playing from Paulo that still...

Feel free to time stamp any times he had defenders in his face, taking him to ground after the kick, or didn't kick of the front foot.

Good point. Yes Grandparents.

His control was good. As I said in the previous post not over playing his hand was a big part of that. The difference was the Samoan forwards and the Tongan errors.

I agree with this. He did everything needed of him and not much more he could of done without over playing his role. He just wasn't needed to do much.

It wasn't really there today. Samoa dominated territory so no need for a long kicking game. He forced the one drop out but again Samoa were preferring to attack rather than force repeat sets. He did though in fact kick well. Kept Tonga pinned in their own 10m and set up a try for Nanai. But...

Did nothing wrong but also didn't do much. Directed the team well enough. But Tonga were awful whilst Haas and Paulo dominated. He wasn't needed to do a lot.

And Paulo and Haas just continued to run through them.

34-6 final score. Tonga got worse after the break

back on now

How so? I think Fainu and KPP look well suited as a combination. Fainu looks to have far more subtlety playing to a lead runner where as AD likes to play long. Fainu has the acceleration to push through the line from an offload, AD does not (though far better top speed). I don't see KPP and AD...

I think Jazz leg speed better to take advantage of winning the ruck. Terrell would be the option if you were trying to wrestle momentum back.
