Siro (the sequal)

Happy you are spot on about both Players, Well spotted & they not the only two players who get the ball in this position when Robbies not there.
 
Gnr altho I disagree with your assessment of Siro, I think he is a high quality player, I think branding any player a future test player is too much pressure, so on that I guess we agree.

I thought he looked pretty dangerous at times yesterday, had a couple good runs as the lead runner that caused trouble.

He is still making a few mistakes (as all young players do) but overall he is alright..

The famous surname works both ways, expectations rise, and so do criticisms.
 
Thats fine Goose, i don't mind people saying i'm wrong about him, its all subjective after all. Idiots accusing you of not rating him cos of his Balmain connection is another story. Guess that means i don't rate Farah, Woods or Brooks either cos of their Balmain connection cos i'm a Magpie loyalist. Oh wait….
 
Opinions are subjective….so why mention that people who disagree may be blinded by a famous surname?

Its hardly an argument that holds weight.
 
Goose summed it pretty well. With a surname expectations rise. The criticism's from me aren't on him as a player, as i've said i'm sure he'll be solid. Its in response to why people are going over the top in their praise.

Some will remember my thread about this guy from a few weeks ago hence the title.Still not getting the love for this guy. Yes, i know all of his supporters will come out and say he's only coming back from injury, but thats beside the point. I haven't seen anything, ever from him that i find out of the ordinary. Solid first grader, i'm sure he has it in him. A future Australian rep that people have him as a lay down for? Nup, can't see it.

why are we angry/upset/ set on Sironen?
I think we should get to the bottom of this.
Cough it up brother.
All the forum will help.

Remember that ice cream - Triple Treat with the pink marshmellow in the middle.
Unlike you the craving hasn't gone.
Like you - it will probably never come again.

From what I've noticed from the 20 odd NRL games he has played in…..
He is able to put the defence in two minds when he runs the ball.
They often hang off him a little because he a good passing game. It annoyed me on 2 and third tackle trying to get the ball away. But later in the set, he's one forward that can create a different dimension to our attack.
 
Currently solid, obviously going to be a good 1st grade player but not sure he will play origin or Australia, yet to see that spark. Not saying he doesn't have the potential, just haven't seen that something special which really great players have. Dwyer in comparison I think showed more in his first few games, yet he was a little older so that could be why he demonstrated more. Just have to wait and see.
 
In paul sironens book he wrote when he was dropped early in career in mid 80s and was the best thing for his career
 
Dwyer was awesome. He was big, strong and fast for a forward. He could hit a good hole, like Gareth Ellis. Both formed a good combo with Benji when he was at his best.
Hopefully Siro can form a good combination with Moses.
These type of combinations are rare. Lucky for us we breed our own, and don't have to pay overs trying to poach from other clubs. Not saying they will be world beaters, but they sure have potential.
 
Half our FG side should still be learning their trade in the lower grades, but have been fast tracked as we have no one better.

Iam starting to have my doubts on a few the kids that have been talked up as been better than sliced bread. We have to do some serious retrenchments and recruiting if we seriously want to mix it with the big boys. Brooks,Farah and Woods can not do it on their own
 
Just rewatched the opening 20 minutes. Moses, Brooks and Sironen were absolutely killing it! Curtis will be a great player no doubt. Maybe not as good as his dad but he sure as hell did not get a start in a bloody NRL team because he has a nice surname. You really think Potter gives a **** who his daddy is?

Finally a comment with substance.

That first part of the match gave a glimpse of something very special at the tigers.

Add another years experience with those three along with Farah and Tedesco (next year) and then how does everyone feel?
 
A lot of teams like Melbourne, St George, Manly, cowboys, Sharks have an ageing squad. We are blessed with talented youth..and truck loads of it. Siro and Lodge will improve heaps by playing with Woods and Taupau.
 
For me, he is a much better player than his father was at the same age, whom also moved from the backline, being a centre as a junior.

Curtis is a NRL level player in the early stages of his transition to be a backrower. He definitely shows a lot of potential to make a good fist of it, but only time will tell.

He has good bloodlines, with his maternal side having a decent halfback among them. Regardless of his heritage, which cannot hurt his chances, I think he will be a long term top grade player at worst. If injury gives him a decently wide berth, an origin bench role is where I see him a couple of years down the track.
