A random player that offers exactly what he does at half the price? The guy hasnt produced shit since he has been here. He isnt worth more than 700/750 today. Are the Tigers willing to pay overs and buy him for 900 now in the hope he lives up to being that value and then repays the Tigers to stay on for another contract in 4 years time.....I doubt it with Richo around.
Nope, I would be glad when at an auction all Rival Bidders Stop!
Spot on.
Needs to start showing it. Start of story
Wouldn’t say he’s elite. AFB, JFH, Hass I would fall under that category Stef ain’t elite yet but he does have the potential to be.
A front rowers job is really quite basic. Lay a platform for your stars to go to work. Ok stars, time to clock on.
It’s all relative, stick him in front of that Broncos back line and the whole league world would be pulling his pud.
Stef was shown up real bad against Hass, looked like under 8s vs an adult. If Hass, AFB, JFH are the standard for elite, Stef is far far far far far far far from elite.
He does have the potential to hit it though, but I agree he’s gotta do more.
Couldnt agree more, its as basic as it gets, be aggressive and lay the platform for the halves and backs. The day he does that and then backs it up week after week you can start to call him elite.
Possibly, but he’s still gotta do a bit more than what he’s currently doing. Not saying it’s all his fault to be clear, but there’s gotta be more from him.
He started the year on fire.
Gotta see him with Luai and Turuva and a year older Galvin & Bula. Plus hopefully another young attacking weapon we unearth.
I don’t think he does…
If he’s willing to change the way he plays I think he can do it. But he’s no where near it at this stage. If we do manage to keep him after this contract, unless he gets to that next level I don’t think we will keep him after that one ends.
He’s never played in an NRL blockbuster. Put him in an elite competitive environment and see how he goes. Much like Brooks at Manly, the environment counts.
