There is no doubt he looks the goods and I hope he does the same for many years. Just don't like the negative slagging of others.
Pace isn't so bad is it Mr Sheens?

I actually saw him score a try just like that first one he scored in the twenties once taking a Miller midfield crossfield kick on the full and then cutting inside and beating like 8 defenders. Very similar. Not many players can do that.

Mate you talk about me having balance, try and understand what I am saying. I am saying the likes of Tuquiri and Ryan lack speed, and speed is a wonderful asset which our WHOLE back line lacks.
It doesn't mean there not good players. Ryan is one of the SAFEST wingers in the comp, and by far the safest winger in the club. In that area (catching bombs, work rate, defence), he is a 30x better player than say Koribete. But when it comes down to having half a chance, id much rather see Koribete running on to it than any of the wingers we have had in the last few years (And just before you think I'm slagging, I think they all have good individual characteristics, but pace is not one of them). And at the wests tigers, that type of player is a priority for us.
Had we had a player like Koribete running on to the last play of the 2010 season, we may have another premiership to our name.

Not many can. Even if they do make mistakes while they are raw, id rather a winger who will take those chances, and create stuff out of nothing compared to wingers like a Mitch Brown, who is just safe, but isn't gonna score a try or make a serious break without someone doing all the work for them.

So many times we have had an overlap only for our slow wingers to step Infield and get tackled. Lote, Ryan and Utai have some great qualities but they lack one thing that wingers need: pure speed
I can't remember the last time I saw a tigers winger scream onto a pass down the sideline and run in a straight line to score. Amazing stuff

Smeg called it last week. Ryan has had a wonderful year and has put in the hard yards when others have cruised along. But he's not quick enough. We need SPEED out wide, tonight was a perfect example.

I enjoy getting carried away. I don't recall anybody ever saying that about Peni though. Marika >>>>>>>> daylight >>>>>>> Peni.

I think that this is really a key point. We don't have a lot of quick outside backs. Moltzen has speed however he hasn't had a good season. I think he should be at 6 or gone. Ryan is a worry - he has been great this year but his lack of pace is an issue - we can't carry Ryan, Utai, Ayshford and Lote in our backline at the same time because it makes us pedestrian.
I think something like this would work a lot better:-
1\. Tedesco/another fullback
2\. Koroibete
3\. Lawrence
4\. Ryan
5\. Another winger with pace
6\. Moltzen/Sirro
7\. Benji
Utai has been great and deserves a spot somewhere - maybe on the bench as a backrower with impact. Maybe you can keep him on the wing however I think then you have to question Ryan's spot in the squad.
The simple fact is that Koroibete showed us what s fast strong winger can add to the side.

I was more impressed with his fend than his speed to be honest
