Yep with you on all counts. Maybe Bula is being coached to play the way he is but he needs to work on his positional game and could use some coaching from a former champion fullback. So frustrating at times to see him pass in clear space when he could run or not be running in support looking for a hole the way the best fullbacks do. Shows promise but much to work on.
I’ve only ever seen both of them play on the left.
With you on Feledy but feel for Casey. He got some bad ball. Still he didn’t do much else to impress.
He’s played just over one season of NRL I’d wait to see how he looks into his third season next year after another off season. It’s a hard position to play.
I was thinking same but that means we'll have an edge of Seyfarth, Staines, Lobb up against S'ua, Suli & Ravalawa. I guess Staines did handle Sivo ok.
His main issue coming through the grades was defence . Thats where everyone said he needed massive improvement . I thought Feledy did a good job , but he still needs improvement . He will get there IMO
I’d definately give Staines the challenge, tell him it’s a trial for a potential permanent move the the centres.
Hard to say. Probably not a game hanger but I don’t think feledy was in the wrong there, and think he did pretty well last night. Whether he’s the prodigy he’s being touted as is another question, but at least he didn’t try and take someone’s head off for no reason.
Feledys defense was outstanding. He saved nanai from scoring a try and stoped valentine holmes on the 20 tap which wouldve been dangerous. For 2nd game of NRL all haters need to give him a break. im liking the look of this kid and his future.
Lobby actually made some PCM when coming out of our end.
I like this idea - Staines tries hard but doesn’t have the size to really help when bringing the ball of our own line. Lobb will make a difference there
I may be wrong V but I think Naden and Olam will be back next game. One last chance for Naden.
His opposite centre had 4 line breaks, 6 tackle busts and mafe 218 meters and the opposite winger score 2 tries - not sure anyone on that side had outstanding defence. If you'd made the claim on Casey mayby it could be respected
Is it April fools day
poster signed up specifically to trot that out…
Didnt casey go down early after copping one to his nose? Probably should have been an hia but we just didn’t have any (suitable) replacements. He just couldn’t play through it.
I would rather Solomona Faatape rather than Naden.
We will never see Naden in first grade again for the WT
