Vaka Aho

I thought he tried hard off the bench, not the worst debut

So true, you only want to see the absolute elite skip any grades and they are few and far between, definitely not at 18 unless they're a generational talent.

Man, Miller what a disappointment he was always overweight and no drive to work on his fitness, was it Parra that took a chance, ha, how's that working out.

Just a big fat boy who got found out when the going got tough I bet he could get to the All you could eat Buffet with no Problem

Hit, never miss.

#1 forum scout.

Vaka looks a first grader.
In a very hard game, we were never expected to win... he held his own.

Did not disappoint.

Thanks @Demps

I’m very proud of Vaka, really aimed up.

A tough season but 👏 to pathways progression of Vaka Aho, Tino Tavana & Solomone Saukuru.

A lot better than I thought he would be.
Although there has been a lot of players who have looked decent in their debut and ended up being fairly average. Hope he keeps it up though, props normally start hitting their stride around his age though.

You should edit your post because even though i am sure you are talking about Miller it is in a Aho thread and if read in isolation it looks like you are criticising Aho which i am sure is not your intention.

Barely sighted at Para this year in reserve grade. Not sure if he was injured or playing below that. Somehow made the Fijian squad.

Played Jersey Flegg it seems. How old is he? 20?

He missed a shocking tackle at the start of the game that let a try in.
He somewhat recovered after this. Plenty to work on.

Alot of kids get by just being bigger but start getting found out around 17 and playing with better kids who are smaller but have work ethic

Thought he went real well. Hit well. Worked hard , ran hard… welcome to the nrl Vaka

No harm giving him a taste. Thought he went ok .He got found out a few times as you'd expect. He should know what it takes now and it's up to him to go further.

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

An NRL pre season will be good for him, thought he went well.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

It’s a job well done when you can hold your own against a team like Penrith in your first ever game. Would be interested to see his development with a full NRL pre season.

My assessment too. He got a decent taste and a pass mark first up, so now gets to show if he has the pre-season hunger to push for more.

He looked huge - more than 110kgs.

I hope they keep Royce: Would be great to have him and Royce 2.0 on the same bench!

I think he is more of a high work rate player, which is great for the team. He had a good debut under difficult circumstances ie playing the Panthers.

Train and trial for next year, wouldn't sign him yet.
