Very Underated

He put a good shot on Taupau last night too. Keep it up Kevy.

How things can change in 8 weeks lol

I would not be surprised if he has been playing injured for the past few weeks.

Whilst you may be right, I don't think this inconsistency is anything out of the ordinary. Since arriving at WT he's been very much a mixed bag - 2 good weeks followed by 3 bad etc.
He's nowhere near good enough defensively to play centre IMO.

He's a downhill skier. Looked like a million bucks the first couple weeks. Vanished into thin air after that.

 

[stevetiger]

My assessment hasn't changed. He just has to work on his defensive reads.

Quality….....reserve grader

Kev Naquima?

Your thoughts any others???

For me Naquima has played exceptional to start the season making a lot of breaks and looking very dangerous my favourite buy last year! Hasn't really been as recognised as he should be

The last few weeks he has been nothing short of disgraceful. His defensive reads and communication leave a lot to be desired. Plenty of room for improvement.

That is why he had only managed 23 NRL games in 5 years at 2 cubs before he got to us, they worked him out and played him in reggies, he has played 34 already with us in less than 2 seasons, say's more about us than him really.

I will ride to his defence.

Yes, two bad games the past two weeks. All the rest has been pretty sound if not very good. Puts him way ahead of almost all other players in the team, so lets put the boot into them before him.

 

[LARDS]

Agree. Probably not fair to blame just him . It was the whole back line letting in points. If anyone is to blame it would be the defensive coach.

He has been terrible all year in defence…absolute no idea

So have most of the other players in the team. Haven't you noticed?

Yes, but he has stood out as a terrible defender in a team of terrible defenders, so that's not a good thing 😢

Really? Imo Brooks and Moses are the stand outs.

Haha yeah I didn't say he was the only player to have stood out! It's just particularly noticeable when he screws up by flying out of the line and failing to stick the tackle. When he screws up he does it dramatically…

Absolutely 100% wrong. He has had some great games in defence this year. You are letting the story you are telling get in the way of the facts.

Naquima is a good defender, he just reads the plays very poorly on goal line defence doesn't communicate with Nofa….
