Watson Heleta

Do us all a favour and do what I strongly believe you can do…..have a massive off season, come back like a rock and impress the he'll out of Taylor. Earn your chance and then grab it.

This is the guy I think can solve our centre problems. Currently around 92kg and can easily start next year at 96kg -97kg. Runs hard, runs the right lines and is the player we need to emerge.

Big step up from 20's and all I would expect is for him to be solid in 2015 if given a chance. But come 2016 and he will explode at close to a nuggety 100kg

Hopefully Taylor doesn't turn him into a backrower.

Hopefully Taylor doesn't turn him into a backrower.

Or release him

Haleta impressed me at the back end of the season there is a lot to like about his Game....With change comes opportunity...

Martin, Haleta and Funaki are all going to be stars

 

[sideline_eye]

Yes, the problem with Martin will be that he won't be satisfied playing State Cup while Moses plays NRL. A bit of an issue that the coach should enjoy with two gun 5/8s.

If Tedesco gets injured which I hope he doesn't then I would assume Moses will go to the back and Martin at 5/8, if they perform Teddy will play Centre.

The way Teddy was playing in the first part of the season, I wouldn't want him playing anywhere but FB as long as he stays fit. Can Martin play centre?

Going to be stars–---need expreienced quality players around them to bring them on and at present we have very little in the way of hard experienced quality first gradders. We are in for a long year

How are the young fellas not going to get injured with no experienced enforcers around them?
Forward planning's meaningless when your talent's busted.
Except of course 2015 will be the exception to the rule.

Wouldn't Seve be ahead of Heleta?

 

[king_sirro]

Wouldn't Seve be ahead of Heleta?

My guess is that Seve would be behind him physically

 

[pHyR3]

am i the only one whos never heard of this heleta bloke?

also, seve is pretty well developed for his age. Needs more expereince though, im guessing.

No you wouldn't be alone mate, it appears many fans have no idea who anyone at the club is outside of the 17 players in the NRL.

But anyone that doesn't know our leading try scorer and star player from the NYC team is really just a lazy supporter.

Seve and Heleta are probably at a similar stage now. Seve was far ahead, but would have slowed down due to his shoulder reco, but hopefully he could still work out the rest of his body. Was a very strong, agile and balanced player.

Heleta benefited from Seve's absence and was the star of the back 5 last season. In the semi he was the player to standup and make the big play to win us the game. That says as much about him as scoring 20 tries.

Seve already had the x factor and ability to simply create something out of nothing. It would be his defensive technique and positioning which would be the only thing stopping him from playing first grade.
