Lei-Lei-Uma Train

[beachtiger]

I don’t think I’ve been more excited for the start of a season in a long time with the thought of the two Leilua boys playing alongside each other with Nofa sitting outside them.

The brothers are both beasts that will have opposition teams in two minds every time the ball comes their way, both are capable of scoring a great try on their own. Then add Nofa into the mix who is an outstanding finisher and we have an extremely potent attacking edge.

I know there’s some concern with their combination in defence but if they can get that under control then the points scored by that edge will far outweigh points against them.

Obviously this is making the assumption they all line up on the same side but if they do it’s potentially a devastating attacking edge!!!

I'm looking forward to the sight of a very big fast aggressive Joey L bearing down on Turnstile Mitch when we play the Slimeys!

They will be lining up on the same side.

hell yea

 

[Goldust]

Going to be fan favourites for sure

Concerns are defence and also the lack of pace in the backline except for Brooks and Benji. We failed to recruit successfully for pace.

I came up with Leiluma 1st

I wouldn't say Benji has speed anymore. Not enough anyway to warrant suggesting it.

Brooks would definitely be our quickest backline player.

 

[Toowoomba_Tiger]

That right side will be the go to side when near the try line, but we will have Garner running good lines off Brooks on the left also. Just some real options both sides of the ruck. Agreed, much more excited then i was a few weeks ago

I remember Mbye at the dogs running someone down from an impossible position thinking I'd never seen anyone so fast. I think he might be faster than Brooks.

We haven't recruited NRL proven pacy backs, but as you know we have several in the lower grades so not buying externally could allow us to promote internally...

Who are the guys with speed in the lower grades? Would like to track them this season.

Mbye has pace for sure, think he was slower last year due to his injury. Benji looked pretty quick over short distances by the end of last year, Brooks is a flyer but our other centres and wingers aren’t exactly quick. Close to the tryline they’re a problem though, especially that right side

 

[Cairnstigers]

Proof please

 

[Joel Helmes]

I reckon Madge will play BJ back on his original left side.

Haha sorry Geo not trying to steal your idea, just another spin on it!!

 

[earl]

I reckon Mbye on the left and BJ on the right.

Fastest kid at our club would be an unknown 18 year old from qld, winger training with jersey Flagg, he is I think the 3rd fastest kid in Australia for his age group, Jordan can’t remember his last name, has run 10 . 20 something officially but word is he is the quickest including everybody in the club. Recent clocking in Canterbury cup indicates Dillon has just got it over scolari, testing was apparently over 40 meters, these two were apparently a bit ahead of the others. I’ll try to get some more info over the weekend.

Thanks. The young centre or second row forward from Ballina looks very Pacey for such a big frame. That Larry Corowa was instrumental in his recruitment is a good indication of his talent.
