I dont understand why so many would be against Tui in the FB role…
I wouldnt let him control a game at 6 as he would be Moses Mk2, but having his ball touches metered by Brooks, I dont know how to put it into words
Teddy is irreplacable. Teddy is also consistant. But Lolohea can rip apart the game like Benji and Shaun Johnston on his day, the likes Teddy can only dream of. Tedescos strengths are a powerful scramble post contact and speed, they are very different players, but if you pass on Tui as a fullback you obviosly havent seen him if full flight. Teddys defence stats arent the best, so its a moot point arguing on that front.
If he cannot focus there is always the wing, but it honestly a waste of the kids talent.
I hope we build a squad where we dont rely so heavily on our fullback anyway.

I think so too with Ben coming here, ET here and if Packer arrives too he wont be home sick so to speak

To clarify i meant we replace the little 3.
Woods = Mautilno (save $350k)
Moses = reynolds (save $150k)
Tedesco= lolohea (save $600k)
Im only guessing those numbers based on what ive read. But we replace the little 3 with very good players. And we have a spare $1million dollars to add a goalkicker, centre and another front rower. So the little 3 not re-signing have done us a huge favour. I think Lolohea will be a star at fullback. I hope we get him.

We'll have a decent chance to sign him. Lot of upside at the Tigers and there's a fullback position waiting to be filled.

I'm ok if we sign him but won't be slashing my wrists if he decides not to.
Plenty other options.

Yeah I suppose ….. but he is currently pracricising his X factor in reserves .... for Warriors.
So it will take some work to turn him round to consistent NRL standard.
I really see him as a good back up utility ..... on his current form.
May prove me wrong .....

I am hearing strong mail that Lolohea has turned his back on the Warriors to sign with the Queensland Bulls as a wicketkeeper batsman.

Really hoping the other Warriors guys who've been with Cleary before (don't know how many are left) put in a good word for Ivan to get Tui here, seems like the best chance he'd get in the NRL is with us.
