Tuki has a chance to develop into a real good player for us.
Looking forward to his debut.
One thing for sure is that he will bring plenty of vigour on Sunday - WT needs more vigour.
Well in lad, go well.

He also has a good offload, just hope that he is allowed to use it, no one else in the team is willing to try a pass let alone an offload for second phase play.

Its funny ya know , i hear this quite often , that our boys dont offload.
They do offload , the problem is they do it when its not on and we end gifting possession to the opposition.

Good to hear Cini was geeing him up. Dunno why Zac hasn't been given more of a shot in firsts.


Because he failed plan and simple .. when you get the opportunity you take it or you just disappear !

Yes thats true in a way,but Madge has given him his debut,he played well while others helped him in the first game,he was left to his own skill and ability in the second game and made errors...Madge will give him another opportunity but he must start to have confidence in himself and that he can handle first grade...all is not lost,Madge will know when he is ready....

The more they keep making them the more Mr Jordan gets. Crazy Cash!!!
 
How good is it to see Madge give another couple of young guns a debut....the guys probably deserve it and Madge has done the right thing by them....

I was just wondering and this is a bit sarcastic,but the haters on here whinged about Madge not giving the young guys a chance....here is prove itself once again...

Now its up to them to show Madge how far they have developed into their career...
 
I’ve got many critiques on how poorly run the tigers social media is but one of the biggest is easily lack of video footage in these moments when a player is going to debut and so on.

Speaking for myself, i don’t feel as connected as I would if you saw for example Tuki getting his name called up for the first time or Maumalo receiving his first tigers jersey. I feel like close to every other club does it and we’re still using the written word.

Nup Cini is done.

Plodder.

His only point of differentiation is his stupid haircut and moustache. Pathetic player.

Apart from those few points, I take it you quite like him.

I agree it would be nice to see but given they've only had a few days to move their lives to another State I'm willing to cut them some slack. It may be they haven't had time to edit the footage in amongst the travel and testing - there's still a few days to do it before game day.

Of course they might be saving it for the documentary.
 
Has something about him..

Can break a tackle and offload in traffic based on his KOE Cup games..something we lack in FG .. hopefully Simpkins has the confidence and permission to bring it to the team..

No...

Nike (owns Jordan Brand) is 1 if the biggest brands in the world.
They purchased Hurley a few years back.

The bad publicity for the brand would not be worth it.

Factories still in Vietnam and whatnot but good working conditions now.

Thanks for caring ❤?
 
Congrats. I just want him to do well for the 15-20mins play error free, hit & hold in defence and tun straight & hard. Hopefully he uses this is a building block.

Based on what I've seen he is very raw. Will do things that make you say "how did he do that?", will also do things which make you go "why did he do that?" Importantly he has X factor which is what we've been crying for for years.

Hopefully he can get through his first game unscathed and stay in the team. The thing with these kids is if they have a shocker early in their career, the coach has to take them out of the team, ala Cini. They don't know how to deal with it emotionally, so you have to give them time to recover. We don't have the senior playing group required to pull these kids along. Almost our entire squad is still trying to figure it out for themselves.
 
Good luck big fella, if ever a kid had an opportunity to make a position his own this is it. The bar is low my friend..
 
Go get em bro.
Fingers crossed he lives up to his potential.
Will be a fan fave if he does.
I rate him
