KORO?
- Thread starter bp_tiger
- Start date
He's a perfect example of a rookie thats been rushed into top grade way too soon, and a perfect argument for an increase in the junior level to 22 or 23
It's rocks and diamonds with this kid. Did great with the try and I love his work ethic. But errors are a massive issue with him. For the foreseeable future he'll stay in the team and hopefully absorb some improvement in his game but unless he improves you do wonder weather he holds his spot long term.

Not too many were saying that when he was blowing Parra off the park but I agree with you.
He would have been better being eased into the top squad - now everybody expects him to bust a thousand tackles every game and run down anyone with a 20 metre start.
In a team of rookies he is making rookie mistakes.
Hard to blame him when he at least puts in an effort but I hope the mistakes start coming less often.
I think koro has been really tired lately from being used as a PROP. Also, he tried chasing about 4 different people who had a massive headstart and were on the other side of the field. Limits his pace. He was still fast as **** in the panthers game. He just needs to be in a team that isn't lacking props and not making him do 5 extra 100m sprints

He is still learning the game. It is hard to be critical when you look at some of the defence in the middle of the field.

Yep… Too many hit-up!
I feel we have one of the most exciting weapons in the NRL with Marika, but he isnt being given the opportunities to display his strengths. Until we start using the left side more effectively and learn how to isolate defenders, Marika wont get much ball in open space.

Richards has played wing for 10 years….yeh lets try and make a leopard change his spots, sounds like our type of strategy
I'd buy a center if thats what we were looking for

Absolutely spot on! I really like Koro, but he is making the mistakes that everybody notices since he is having to do waaay too much for a winger because of our 'gutless' middle! He was the busiest player in our team last night, put under heaps of pressure and having to chase everything down from the wrong side of the field and this is just plain wrong. If the whole team was playing the way they should be, this wouldn't be happening quite so much. He is still very inexperienced and is being thrown in the deep end way too early, imo. I'm sure we'll see his blistering speed again if the team can ever get it's act together and play like a real NRL side.

Where have you people been for the last 10 years? It is the wingers job to play the role of a prop. Have a go at the size of the wingers running around. Most wingers would not be under 95kg and 186cm tall. They are big boys for a reason. They are huge with speed to burn, to hit the ball up when the pigs are tired. This is Koro's job, as well as to cover defend on the opposite side of the field when a break is made - just like every other winger in the comp. Don't make excuses for him, he is learning the game, therefore, lower your expectations. Go Weststigers!

To me Koro should be bringing the ball back and taking those hit-ups. He should also be finishing off tries out wide and defending well including catching the ball anytime it comes at him.
I think he has to stay in the team but he needs a lot of work on his mistakes.

Gus: 40 seconds left on the clock, Tigers down by 2 points, Marshall makes a break steps one, two, three and now a great pass to Tim Simona
**Fans Cheering**
Gus: Simona is off with one to beat and passes the perfect pass to Koro and Koro drops it with 2 seconds left.

Any o you want that?
