OFFICIAL Geoff Daniela [Discussion]

[Tigerdave]

yeah I was fairly happy with how he went, good enthusiasm, which is what the team needs at the moment :slight_smile:

 

[westTAHger]

he did what was required of him.
give him another go, why not keep him in centres, at least up to the bye.

 

[tiger_tigers]

I said a few weeks ago i'd like to see him have a few full games at Centre, he's very quick and has good footwork, .

Thats how I saw it…..he looks a bit like Jennigns,very fast and nice footwork.

Not too upset about seeing some more of him.

he looks a bit like jennings.. omg … he isnt a centres backside ... if selected he is just a winger ...

DAnielas not bad, not our worst back. Played ok last night and looked ok in attack. He has good speeed, and decent footwork but he does look suss in defence. I dont know if long term he can stay at centre but for next week hes probably the man. Maybe long term hes a fullback, if he can sort positional play and catching the high ball

Defensively he has some issues and did struggle in the first half, he's got decent footwork and good speed but against big physical centres he will always struggle IMO. Personally I would like to see Davis in the centres as he's no nonsense in attack and defensively can put on a big hit.

 

[alexaki]

Daniela ordinary first grader IMO…I'd be surprised if we didn't have better options within the ranks

 

[Tigerpete]

He'll do the job while Ayshford's missing. Probably not as good defensively but his attack, although with different strengths is on par so we shouldn't lose out. I thought he did okay last night. Wasn't a stand out but he's lacked the opportunity to do so so far.

 

[citizen_cub]

Good game for mine.

Defense was solid as you said

Attack was decent

Decision making? 😕 Not great. Should've definitely gone himself there instead of passing it to Ryan, but thankfully that had no impact on the game.

Im against having Daniela in the side as a centre. I just dont think theres a place in the modern game for a small centre.

But theres no doubt he's a great mover. He glides accross the ground like Jennings and Renouf. If he was as big as them then he could be good. Im thinking he may very well be awesome at fullback. Imagine his speed and elusiveness hunting around the likes of Farah, Benji and Lui? Could be dangerous.

 

[farahfan]

knows his way to the try line and goes about it quick smart
well done on a great game

 

[PYMBLEPETE]

He did very well tonight; might be a good signing yet

 

[Swannie47]

forgot his attack for a minute.
That defensive play early on where he picked his moment, rushed up, cut off a very dangerous attack & forced a turnover was very impressive.
His defence for the rest of the game was also surprisingly good!
His attack was good to watch too though :slight_smile:
Quality game!

Id forgotten that after all the trys, but remember thinking at the time it was a defining moment - we were on the rack there

 

[tiger_tigers]

hit me with some pie … make it a giant shot ,,, i deserve all i get on tonights performance

 

[hybrid_tiger]

He was fantastic.

I like Ayshford but I really doubt he would have scored any of those tries - he doesn't have that footwork and pure speed that Daniela does.
