Getting your technique correct during off season / training will give you the confidence required on game day. I’d rather have some who is technically correct and lacks confidence than someone who is full of them selves with no technique.I agree in relation to techinque; however, I'm not sure he will be good under the high ball until he gets some confidence. I expect that all the outside backs have had individual coaching on their in the air/on the ground catching techniques and that is practiced during the week at training. Unfortunately taking the high ball is not just technique. Taking the high ball is about confidence and commitment; technique is just about how to create the bucket and secure the ball.
Confidence is the foundation of the skill set and until he has the confidence he won't fully commit. Toupou is definitely one of those confidence type players. If we get on a roll and string a few wins together he may progress - but until he really commits to the ball he will always be a liability.
I'm 100% with you on this. I just find it hard to believe he hasn't been taught the correct technique. This is professional sport - this shit is taught when you are a kid and should be well drilled by the time you hit C grade. I'm not anywhere near close enough to know if they are doing it correctly at training - but if we are picking it up so are the coaching staff. So if, and it is a big if, the technique has been taught it has to be a confidence thing that prevents him from executing it during games. If, on the other hand, he hasn't been taught, WTF are our coaching staff doing for their $?Getting your technique correct during off season / training will give you the confidence required on game day.

How long has he been here for now is it 2 years?Charlie saying that was his first win as a Tiger...
Wow, lol
Let that sink in
He chopped sivo down almost every time. Sivo usually has a field day with us. Staines is unspectacular but he's a very good defensive winger. I think the criticism of him here has been too harsh. When was the last time we had a good defensive winger?
Ken mamolo was good if i recall when fit. Corey Thompson another solid defensive winger with heart.He chopped sivo down almost every time. Sivo usually has a field day with us.

They still look panicked down that side to me. On most occasions they are scrambling well enough but it would be nice to see them a bit more organised.No highlights yet but I think he is doing a solid job. Him and Faataape are doing well in defence.
