No way tui comes in before Thompson…. are you kidding me....,haven’t you been watching games this year. He has been as safe as houses and one of our main attacking avenues....dear god. I have seen nothing from tui....you thinking Marshall is going ordinary and taking the wrong options....you multiply this with tui

WE need to show some faith in Tui in the fullback role, give him a few weeks to settle in there, and he showed last year what his capabilities are , he has the X factor that we need. Have Thommo and Fonua as our wingers.

This is my hope. Tui has been underwhelming but playing injured may have been the reason.

Maybe you missed the post on the previous page saying Cleary confirmed he came back too early from a knee injury.

We don’t need any more rocks and diamonds players…...they are killing us

Going by your name I reckon you’re an expert at rocks and diamonds! I remember Larry Corowa running 80m untouched only to drop the ball cold whilst running in the in goal to better his position. Not a defender within 20m!!
 
Tui has played in 3 games so far this year and we are 3 for 3, and he kicked us to victory against the rorters. Not sure why he would be left out if fit.

Tui makes Larry Corowa look like Usian bolt. Tui = cliff Lyons without the skill, smarts or strength

All that and more, yet Tui is our most successful player this season and fills a lot of the holes that WT have in attack and his defence is okay.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Not sure why all the hate larry - not like you.

Think this thread is one of only a few that I have disagreed with your comments.
comparing him with Larry Corwara, Cliff Lyons, Benji Marshall is just folly and really is beneath you.

He has played three games at FB for us and one of those he was injured. Writing a player off after 2 1/2 games is pretty savage, especially since we won them.

I've been watching the games and Thompson has been playing well but he is not what we need at FB. Safe yes, run the ball back yes and in defence he is ok. What he is like at organising the defence at the back who knows (not too good over the past three weeks by the look of it).

We need a FB that ball plays and we have no other than our NZ mate. Obviously needs to get fit which is why he is in ISP this week, however he is all we have. At least we need to give him a fair go. Some players have had years to come good.

We need more players like Thompson less like tui. He runs around like a chook with its head cut off like Marshall at his worst. I want players that play the percentages, take the line on with speed, hit hard in defence. I had enough of watching us beat ourselves. Surely one Marshall is enough in any team.
