OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

[Tom Shines]

Not sure what the plan for Haywood is, but he’s probably projected to play sometime for us next year at some stage… I’m actually surprised he hasn’t debuted yet with our obsession of playing juniors early

I gotta tell ya mate ..after watching Maka this year ..it’s hard for me to ever get excited again about some hyped up kid ,,,

Gotta see it in the top grade to believe it

At Api's age he definately needs a break from 80 minutes on the field but that is ALL in the hands of the coaching staff and the bench rotation.He will only do what he is told to do.

It’s a worrying trend eh?

Jared Haywood is a very confident kid and I know the club has a very high opinion of him especially in leadership qualities, hopefully we don’t screw up his development

Is Haywood physical enough to be throwing him out there ?

Seems to hold his own against cup guys

He’s a real live wire in attack though. Reminds me of Damien Cook at his peak, quick off the mark

Like you say though, means nothing unless he does it in the NRL. Maybe he gets a chance off the bench when our season is officially dead

 

[Telltails]

Just a reminder for those buying into any of this crap of where we were placed when API got suspended for three matches and what happened in those three matches that he was out. - 192 points. Enough said.

He has to max out at 55-60

Play the first 30 and last 30 max

Watch us bring him in too early and stuff it all up

He’s a shot duck, old and tired and we will lucky to get 3 more good games from him between now and the end of the season, particularly if he keeps playing 80mins.
He is getting rag dolled when defending due to his lack of size and ageing body, he is struggling to identity which side of the field and which players are needing the ball and more and more of his passes from dummy half are too high which is taking away from our playmakers time to make a decision.
Not the player he once was unfortunately.

Mate, you have the hottest takes on this forum by some margin. I genuinely can't fathom how you arrive at some of your opinions. You're entitled to them by all means, but most of them leave me scratching my head. This one is no exception.

Too early to judge his defence against men. Only had 6 games off the bench in Reserve Grade and made a total of 91 tackles (at 87% efficiency).

Has shown some good signs in attack. Let’s hope he is given time.
