Didnt see a threat but a honestly - how bad was he?
Trying too hard against Tupou but failing every time.
Looked like a chump.

Im usually a fan but wow…. worst
 
Don't agree. As usual, he made one or two mistakes but overall he was solid and there is no questioning his effort.

He is what he always was, a mediocre-average player who should be your 4th-5th best back in a good side.

Fact is we havent got a superstar Centre or Winger
Always been average at our club

All average at best but did their jobs well.

We need a Daniel Vidott, Blake Ferguson, players who still manage to find the line our boys fail to.

To be fair, he's probably behind Teddy, Nofo and Simona if they're all fully fit, so that puts him bang on.

I think he really was trying too hard and was caught out a couple of times.
His anticipation and defense have been his strengths - I can forgive a poor game.
 
I think he is a NSW cup player, he is way to risky in defence and under the high ball.
There is a reason he has played only 23 games of NRL in 5 years before joining us, and let go by 2 clubs in that time, he is not an NRL standard player.

Looks to be having a go but opposition teams continue to target him (and others).
 
I think he is a decent winger. He's fast enough, he can finish really well (amazingly at times), he generally picks the right time to come in in defence and his tackles mostly stick.

He had a really bad time of kick defence the other week, but I am sure that if you went through the tapes there would not be an ongoing issue with bomb spills.

In fact of all the regular backline players this year, Naiqama has one of the lowest error rates - behind Brooks, Moses, Teddy and Richards.

Finally, some one who pays attention to the game!
He was awful.
 
I prefer him in the centres. I think he isn't a great player but he can fit into our team. We need at least another winger and centre and then his position could be under threat but that is a long way off.

Didn't see Ferguson (SOO) do anything against our no frills backline.
One claim to fame was pushing Simona in the chest - and got pushed back.
Don't need players with attitude - we need players with talent and commitment.

Ferguson was up against Simona. Simona is a gun. If we had a backline full of players at Simona's level we wouldn't be where we are at now.

If SImona had a gun winger outside of him we would have scored a lot more points throughout the season on that side.

In another thread a lot of us (me included) are stating that Tedesco is our best player. He is. I think Simona is close to if not our second best.

I agree. He's become so solid defensively as well.
