OFFICIAL Sunia "Tito" Turuva #293

[BirchgroveTigers]

Laurie is a decent player but Bula is better. No loss IMO.

On one side of the coin, he can catch and score.

On the other side, Daine Laurie looks like Billy Slater in that Penrith team.

Who knows

Daine lost the ball in the first tackle leading to an easy Parra try and was the main reason why Penrith were chasing all night....

And he is ordinary in defence...

OPSM/Specsavers etc could help with your question

 

[Snidest 0]

Possibly, but other small fullbacks like Paps seem to manage.

I don't see a problem in having both swap between fullback and centre during a game. Gives the opposition something to think about and also gives us a look at both players in both positions. Teams have done this type of swapping in the past and eventually one player demands the fullback role.

Serioulsly mate?

When has that EVER worked aside from Karmichael Hunt and Justin Hodges in 2006??

Who knows

Don’t forget how Charlie Staines looked in that team. Not too dissimilar to Turuva at all. There are players (Api, Luai), who are clearly class, regardless of the jersey. Those players lead the way and are actually responsible for players around them looking better than what they are. Coincidentally, players like Staines, Laurie and Turuva.

Charlie was a fill in for that team and mostly in nsw cup - that's very different to Turuva

Agreed, and Staines got enough first grade time at Penrith to show some promise.


Still back Turuva to be better then our current wingers.

Load of rubbish. Staines is a cat, Sunia runs without fear.

Disagree with you on Staines. Doesn’t dent the line much but he runs full pelt into it.

Sadly who ever was on the wings or centres in our Reggie’s side today must not be.

That is why the fixation on tall wingers - in particularly Lobb - is flawed!

That’s not good enough to make NRL.

Staines was a weakness in penrith's team lol. He had his debut 4 try game but most of 2021 was rubbish, in 2022 he was a backup winger. He's an overachiever imo, he's basically an Aldi Nick Meaney

So no real reason or excuse. I'm glad it cost them

Doesn’t make him a cat.
He has a go but isn’t effective enough.

There’s plenty of grades below NRL for people who have a go. He signed here on big money and has done stuff all.

Cat. 🐱

Watch as Jesse McLean gets the call up when back from injury.

Agree.
If he’s a cat by those standards then Twal, Seyfarth et al are kittens.

That's plain rubbish.
Not having a go would make him a cat.
He doesn't go into hiding on the field.
Wrong analogy... plus i doubt he's on big money.
I will agree, however, we need better wingers than we currently run out in first grade.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Staines more than likely is a depth player next year. Not worth arguing over.
