Gave away a few penalties, happens to the best of them. He played more than 5 games last year and wasn't atrocious at Hooker. He is alright, just like Fulton!
Have u watched him all the other NRL games he's played? Have u watched him in State cup? Besides the odd great play that his talent can come up with he generally dishes up absolute garbage.
Seen him in one nsw cup game, he was solid. Heard good things in the game just before manly. And obviously I saw him when he filled in for farah. Not that bad, its just that you're comparing him to farah, a god amongst men.
Anyway, I could be wrong about him. Haven't paid him too much attention, just think this forum often goes to extremes like they did for moltzen and miller; one minute he's the next cronk the next he's worse than anasta in the backrow, saw it happen with Big T in the trial game too, and likely doing the same with masada.
I never compared him to Farah at all and i dont think anyone has. All the comments about Masada are exactly that, about Mosada. Nothing to do with Farah
It's not about people comparing him to Farah but when he is REPLACING farah he will be criticised a lot more as he is expected to fill that hole. I'm not commenting on whether that decision was right or wrong, just that it probably results in a lot more disparagement about his ability when he's not as bad as people make out.

He's been having an excellent impact off the bench in State Cup. A hard ask against the Storm, but he's got some size, speed and a very handy offload.

@pHyR3 said:Couldn't find a profile for Sitaleki, have also heard very little of him this year. Couple of mentions in game reports last year is about all i've heard of him.
How is he?
Tall rangy type back rower, although he has seemed to have put a bit of bulk on in the off season. Very quick, good footwork but his offload is the real quality in his game. He hasn't had any trouble bring the offload from the 20s to state cup, hopefully he can get the arm free in firsts aswell. If Moltzen bothers to follow him he will get a ton of opportunities.
If you had to compare him to a curent first grader it was be feleti mateo

We will miss Fulton's defence and general workrate greatly
And against the Storm this will be a bad thing

We will, however I guess Pettybourne will start, with Anasta at 7 and a bench of bell, ava, BMM and akauola we will finally have quiet a large pack…so no excuses if we get rolled down the middle.

Melbourne aren't the side that will roll us down the middle
They will take advantage of any mistakes we make and make us pay big
Ayshford and Lawrence are going to need to have their best defensive games of their lives for us to be even a half a chance of winning

@LCA said:Masada Iosefa is a good player. He is being crucified by people here on the basis of one result…Manly 26 - 0\. I trust the knowledge of the coaching team over anything posted here. If he's in the squad, good on him. I wish him well and expect he will do a good job.
Masada Iosefa is a bum who was playing for Mounties last year. And he is an absolutely awful defender. I take it you haven't watched much NSW Cup because he has struggled there too. Has not stood out at all and should be nowhere near first grade.
Fulton is no big loss at all on this years form. Very glad to hear Akauolo is getting a chance. It's s shame we are playing Melbourne and will still be beaten but size and impact in the second row is exactly what we desperately need. Keen to see how it works.

Second highest tackle count in the team behind Farah. He does more than a lot of people think. If he doesn't play it's going to cost us.

With Mr T traveling, does this mean Moltzen isn't 100%?
@Sabre said:Sitaleki Akauolo in confirmed by Marika on Facebook.
Also Mr T 18th man.
Dunno if Marika should be posting that though.
At last some sensible selections from Mr. Potter. Am excited to see them play in FG.
@Tiger Watto said:With Mr T traveling, does this mean Moltzen isn't 100%?
I think it is probably a couple of things-1\. He is a outside back that can play in the forwards so if he has to co e in for an injury I the warm up it means we can cover any position in a bit of a reshuffle especially given we have no backs on the bench. 2\. A reward for his good form in nsw cup

I think the Tigers should start Mr T. Just paint the bloke bright green and get him to scream at the storm all night "Hulk smash!!!". Tigers win, simple :mrgreen:
@wests4life987 said:this could be a blessing in disguise for us. i love fulton but i just dont think he has it anymore. i think move pettybourne into 11 (think he played there for bunnies) and then Sauaso Sue or Joel Luani to the bench. But please no ioseffa
Pettybourne knocks up after 15 mins
