Kelma Tuilagi

[Goldust]

Like the prospect and potential but i dont see it yet.

Feel he has a way to go to get past the Blores and Garners etc.

Seen nothing to indicate Blore as a starter or benchie at this stage ,probably will be ,but I think Tuilagi has earnt his spot .


Well i see Blore and i see pure class. Tuilagi i see development and a long term plan.

Big difference.

I agree
Tuilagi looks like he will be a solid first grader,mind you I’m judging him off the 5 nsw cup games I’ve watched of him this season.
To me,Blore looks the next class above,has a certain athleticism about him.Every game he has played in first grade his presence is felt,
even last season against The Panthers he came on and tried his guts out when we had our backs against the wall.

Attack wise Tuilagi is ahead of Blore

Still wonder people have seen attack wise from Blore yet

Please post it ....

He’s definitely got an offload in him.
His junior highlights show he can run a nice hole also.
He is a handful to bring down,even at first grade level.

He hasn't done a lot of FG as yet, but his defence alone keeps him the 17 imo.

Its not a knock on Tuilagi just that Blore is a year or two ahead of him, Tuilagi has a bit to work on..

Just a more solid prospect. Ive seen Tuilagi look very ordinary in D and not quite ready.

He is a late season prospect.

Blore has played what 40minutes max for the Tigers in the Nrl since arriving ...one good tackle on Brown and that's the highlight real so far ..Blore shows promise and has hardly played any Reggie's as well .I can not make a judgement on Blore because I have never seen him play much ...Tuiagi on the other hand I have watched him heaps this season playing Reggie's do you really think he would not of been playing first grade by now if he was only on a development contract ..think not !

 

[DarlingSt]

At least there's a bunch of blokes down there who could come up and play physical. Seyfarth, Simpkins, Tuilagi, Dias, Musgrove.

It would be nice to see Zach get a game of firsts but he's an Adam Clune or Matt Frawley type. A fine backup. Madden has a lot more upside. And having seen most of their games this year I'd say that was Zach's best of the season on Thursday.


Austin Dias - love that name - reminds me of Martin Lang the way he just runs 100 mph in to the defence without any fear.

He's been great every time I've seen him too

How about we focus on our defensive game for once? You’d think given the amount of points we concede, it might be a focus.

WTM what do u think about Madge handing over the reigns early,movinging into the office as culture morales etc overlord,brain's trust with Hartigan,football operations,

 

[TrueTiger]

I think Tuilagi needs to stay in ressies and keep learning and developing...Blore once completely fit will annialate the opposition..he is class and would have been great in the first few rounds except for injuries...
Cini was called upon,done a great debut and faltered badly second up...Dont let Tuilagi go the same way...

Blore will get better as he plays...
Tuilagi will be great in fg NEXT year and if he gets a few minutes at NRL level,that would be great to get the feel of the big arena,until then,stay in ressies and LEARN...

 

[BAGNF05]

Thinking realistically

How many more debuts u guys reckon will happen in this regular season for us...imho next inline has to be either Amone or Tuki

I’d like to see Amone, Blore and Tuilagi off the bench against Warriors. Won’t happen but there’s some impact there.

Mate I was not knocking Blore ...just many on here go on like he is some attacking guru .....I don't think I can remember a clean line break at NRL level

Fair enough. I can’t remember him actually getting the ball in a good position. Last week we were terrible the entire time he was on.

Even post game he said this

"Mate all i did was defend, but was good to be back with the boys" then he did say that madden should of hit him short

He has played more than 1 game ...as I've said I can't remember 1 line break .....his defence is good in the limited time he has spent on field

We need to work on his motor

Martin Lang, the old kamikaze prop.

Surprised he never snapped his neck with the way he dropped his head when he ran.

This isn't meant to sound awful ...but if anyone ends up with CTE it won't surprise me if his name shows up ....if he didn't get concussed 20 plus times in his career I'm a monkey's uncle

Another bit of great signing news. He deserves it with some great consistent form in lower grade.
Good step forward.
