Kepaoa? Are we done with him yet?

[rah53]

Is there any positives to him being in the squad, that someone else in Reggie's can't do??

I think the problem is the players in side him

AJ was in clear space at least 2 occasions and Talua took the tackle. .AJ is not the greatest but after watching the full reserve grade the shelves are empty .

We have much better centres than talau in our squad only other option for wing is cini which would be risky but ins fine form at full back last couple of weeks

Zac Cini can play wing and has played really strongly the past few weeks. Can you say AJ is better? Cini seems a much better player with far better hands and skills.

Mbye centre and Talau wing could work, but Talau has his own issues under the high ball....

Everyone was so against Wests trying to sign Mansour because it would block Kepaoa’s progression, i dont know about all of you, but i’d take Mansour over Kepaoa every day of the week. Kepaoa has been one of our worst in this first month. 20 errors in just 9 nrl games, Mansour in all of last season had just 23 errors

AJ needs reserve grde for a couple of weeks. I think he can do it but atm there is no confidence and no point in him being there. Don't know who would be better but.....

 

[BAGNF05]

Hands like feet but he runs harder than some of our well paid forwards.

Did you watch State Cup today? Cini is slower than AJ.

His hands were fine today, the problem was Talau

Talau should have put him away 2-3 times. Dare I say it, Joey Leilua would have executed at least 2 of them.

Yes, I watched it. He was in everything, brought it up strong, a lovely off load led to a try...has good hands, can pass.

No speed and can't tackle - he'll fit right in!

Absolutely shocking hands for a winger...worse than Lawry had towards the end. Hands are not something that will improve either. The other things may, but he seems to not just miss the ball...but miss it by a long way.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He was flat out catching the ball and putting it down on the forward pass call.

AJ was OK today. Dropped one ball that was deflected off a leg. Yes he should have caught it but many others would have dropped that one as well.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I was done with him last year but apparently his eyes were his problem, if I were him I’d be asking the optometrist for a refund.

He also 'completely' missed a cross field kick...and struggled to hold a few simple ones. Reality is his hands are bad, I don't think we can dispute that.

The question is thus do we want to let him learn and improve in firsts? Or have a month or two in state cup to learn his trade?

Same question as Talau.

If it's firsts, we pretty much are saying no to the top 8 as there is no way a talau AJ edge is getting a team to the finals in 2021.

Do we carry them so they can learn? Or give this season a red hot go?
