OFFICIAL Sunia "Tito" Turuva #293

[Tom Shines]

Good signing and I think that’s unanimous amongst all Wests Tigers fans.

From April when they signed him…

What happened mate ? Now you saying he is no good and can’t tackle ?

 

[BAGNF05]

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.

I’ve gone on record stating Staines was in our top three players on Saturday night. He was reportedly signed on 500K and may now be on less but my criticism stands, you cop that sort of money as a winger, you better deliver more than average. He cost us a game earlier this year by running the ball dead like a fairy. 🧚‍♀️

That was his introduction to catville and I’ll need to see more than one good game for him to removed from the cattery.

He’s been hobbling around like a crippled ever since he signed with us, hence the reason he is now hobbling around in reserve grade.
The only saving grace is he’s young, so should ideally recover in time for next season if he doesn’t commit to playing internationals for Fiji. You would hope common sense would prevail and Wests Tigers would intervene to make sure he does whatever is required to get his body right.
Never the less, he’s not even close to being good enough defensively to play as an NRL centre.

We will have to continue with your mate Faataape then to accompany Olam most likely

Defense is attitude and Sunia is not afraid of contact. I’m not sure of his decision making but that’s why you employ defensive coaches.

Isn't top 30 and we have no top 30 spots

 

[Roar_Power]

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

I can actually see him moving on in the off season. Don't think WT would stand in the way.

Im kidding … but they can always make more spots is they choose to pay guys out

 

[Buttface]

Faataape is on a Development contract I’m pretty sure, and we have 29 for next year. We need spots bad.

For those questioning Turuva’s D, hopefully he has taken the Moses and Stef approach of ensuring he is not damaged for his new employer?

Tumeth needs to take up boxing asap.

 

[weststigerman]

Anyone know why his knee is heavily strapped every game? Hope he doesn't need off season surgery.

 

[InBulaWeTrust]

The intensity and pressure that Turuva has put on the sharks so far is great far out

Like his cousin Api, all out 100mp/h. Effort all the time

 

[boonboon]

Turuva was sensational tonight

 

[Telltails]

He tidied a lot up tonight but rarely gets in the clear. Got the better of To'o - so credit where it's due

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Adding another high workrate winner from a accomplished system.

Api, Turava, Luai........gotta think the tipping point into the winners circle for us can't be to far away.

He’ll be fine for us next year … not sure about the centers but might as well give him a go ..

I thought he showed potential as a fullback. Caught the bombs well, speed and has a step.

 

[davey_farrell]

he was huge tonite!!! tough tough carries out of his own end, can finish a try too. Im super excited to have him join us next year...being dropped was the best thing for him this year, he came back with a point to prove and its paid dividends. Welcome young fella

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’m still sceptical of the impact he will have. We shall see.
