I agree, another pre-season or two to get his physique and conditioning up, but at 18 he really dents the line.

I wish we could keep him either on the bench or in reserves till he is 21.

Seriously the NRL need to limit game time for under 20's their bodies are still growing and forming. Do we really need more Alex McKinnon's or Simon Dwyer's!

Honestly restrict them to 20 minute game time or just reserve grade only. Let our superstars make it to superstardom.

Seriously? Mckinnon was a freak accident and as was Dwyer. Had nothing to do with the age they debuted.

Agree with you Milky - Million to one what happened to Dwyer.

Mckinnon, well that would have happened to a 45 year old put in the position. Age played no part in those injuries.

As for, only give then 20 minutes is a ridiculous suggestion - these injuries can happen in one minute, 20 minutes or 80 minutes of a game or do you only leave them out for the minute they are going to get injured.

Hard for the kid to do much when he's got crap playing either side of him.

How would he know, he never gives them the ball.

Didn't think I would ever say it - he is a bigger hog than Heighington was.

Need two balls on the field at the moment, one for Tedesco and one for the rest of the team.

Some ability but not a smart player doesn't think about his options much just a straight runner.

That's a pretty tough assessment. Virtually straight from SG Ball to the NRL with a fleeting visit to NYC, He's not playing on his preferred side and we haven't seen the best of him due to the fact he is not receiving early ball. Being a straight runner in our team makes him one of the few because there is so much sideways movement.

Does he prefer the right side?

He has a great step off the left foot and a very good offload to the right. See the highlights of the first round Souths game.

He played left wing in round one

True and imo all good players should be able to play more than one position and Gould believes good centres should be able to play both sides.

I qould be interested to know if he has a favourite side. IMO ge should be playing where he's most comfortable as he's our number one centre.
 
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing him get a crack a second row, he can be a long term backrower, and also it will give our outside backs singing for next year an extra spot

He may end up there one day. Depends how well his speed holds up over the next couple of years as he continues to fill out. He's not exceptionally quick and I can see him easily adding another 5kg to his frame over the next couple of years. If he can maintain his speed, I'd keep him in the centres. If his speed does suffer, well then yes, play him in the backrow.

Bad decisions in D ineffective in attack. Think needs to think about things in reserves and get someone better in especially next year.

Disagree with every word that you just said.

Suli has probably been our best player this year.
