OFFICIAL Junior Tupou #254

[TV Ted Ellery]

cant be any worse than Tavana's effort against the sharks, the most disgraceful catching effort in nrl era by a winger

Dylan Edwards holds that distinction among fullbacks for a game early in his career. He may even have been hooked. I'm not suggesting that Tavana's career will reach the same lofty heights as Edwards, just that I wouldn't admonish him for one bad game.

You are correct he was hooked. A bloke I know who was involved with Panthers lower grades told me not long after that moment Edwards done extras everyday with the kickers even when he wasn’t required to train. Paid dividends for him. My concern for Tavana is how poor his lack of awareness of where his opponent is on the field. He just doesn’t seem to look. But I definitely think he can improve with dedication & hard work

I remember that bad game Edwards had
I used to think penrith couldn't possibly win a comp with Edwards at fullback
lol
how very wrong

as for tavanna I dont think he makes it. I would have tupou well and truly ahead of him

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Looked strong in his NSW cup highlights. If he gets his confidence back and reduces his handling errors he has the potential to light it up!

 

[happy_tiger]

Must be about time we bring Gildart Staines and Naden back

tupou probably gets a run in 19 this week

The option at this stage is an 18yo Makasini,who is seriously the worst defender Ive ever seen in outside backs at any club.Thats the bald truth
That missed tackle last week on Knoghts winger in 76th minute was a disgrace..left Luai exposed between players,which is maybe why he has the "delayed concussion" this week.Was totally pissed..and not for the first time with Makasini
Yep..saw the trials...watched the movie..read the book..but Makasini has cost us at least 4 competition points this year,which is our gap to the top 8...maybe more
If hes injured he shdnt be playing.
If hes not injured he shdnt be playing
So at least Junior can tackle and play centre,albeit with dodgy hands

Unfortunately I’m in agreement with you on Makasini
Needs at least half a season in ressies to get a serious idea on what his future looks like.
Old saying but so true
If you can’t tackle you can’t play 1st Grade
