Kurtis Rowe [Discussion]

I was disappointed he didnt make more of Richards break. Meant to be a speed merchant but didnt really show it.

He seems to be doing his best but struggling a bit.

Looks a little small out there.

Wouldn't write him off yet, but he is pretty far behind where teddy was at the start of his career (injuries aside)
 
He did ok under plenty of pressure. However I have to say he is heart in mouth stuff at times. I do like the principle behind like for like changes. He is just small and gets hammered a lot.

In saying that I would be mighty tempted to put Nofo or Simona back there to add some size, speed and impact.
 
Sandow is a FB nightmare… the guy was dropped back to Wenty for punting on himself to kick a 40-20.

Rowe isnt a permanent solution, but good enough for to get us through. Hammering the guy with comparisons isnt fair, and as long as he continues to give his all, and run his own returns back he deserves our respect and gratitude. There isnt too many kids out there in each generation who could step up and dominate, remember this is a step up not a repositioned FG player.
 
Curtis rowe is too small. Offers little in attack and seems impotent in defence. Looks scared to run it hard. Why notbthe giant at the back. I know he is lazy sometimes but has a good set of hands and imagine that beast returning the ball. Rowe is just not at this level
 
I'm not sold on him, lacks the footwork of Tedesco to make the defence hesitate, also lacks ballplaying ability and I haven't noticed him sniffing around the ruck looking for an offload, of which there were a few today.

I'd be inclined to put Simona at the back and bring Lulia back into the centres until Teddy is right again.
 
Lol that's among the worst ideas I've heard this year. A+ for effort though. Wouldn't be against seeing him come in though if Simona goes to fullback.
 
The young fella is trying hard and good luck to him, I see him getting better over the next month as confidence builds a bit light in body but the next couple of seasons should remedy that.

I agree with this.

He is never going to be a world beater but we don't need him to be. we just need him to do a job for a few weeks while Teddy recovers.

I don't think there are many other options in the club which don't involve reshuffling the entire back line or playing someone out of position.

Stick with him for a few fews he is not setting the world on fire but he isn't making endless errors either
 
Talented but looks like he just isnt ready. May be the making of him to keep him in firsts though.
 
Absolutely not but Simona to fullback and Lulia in the centres. Rowe might have potential but he needs to build up physically first and even then he was never At the level if Tedesco
 
I think although he is never going to fill Teddy"s boots he hasnt done too bad a job in difficult circumstances.I would stick with him,he is a young inexperienced player who can only improve and hopefully will keep it going until Teddy returns.
 
Terrible idea. Mr T is a winger or backrower. Fullback would be suicide. I'd be inclined to slot Simona back there and bring Lulia back into the centres.
 
The less people you play out of position the better IMO, keep Rowe there for now, hopefully it will only be a few weeks until Teddy is back.

I definitely don't want to shift Nofa, Richards or Simona out of position and with Moltz injured Rowe is the only real option to replace Teddy.

It would be a great time for the Inu rumour to come through though.
 
I'm against moving players out of position - but moving Simona to fullback isn't so much out of position TBH. Simona can really carve up with that much room to move - like I keep saying he's played amazingly well there. Yes he's a gun at centre, but I wouldn't mind having at the back to cover.

I'll be fine with Lulia at centre to make that happen.

Just don't see anything in Rowe, perhaps this has happened too early for him.

I think Rowe has been fairly ordinary however I agree with this. Playing Rowe means less players are out of position and that allows those players to improve within their current role and not have to adjust when Tedesco comes back.
