Each game he is getting better
People need realistic expectations, he wasn’t going to come in and carve up especially if he isn’t getting decent ball. He is doing a good job and his intensity is improving. He will be better as the season rolls on.

BJ is the same, surprised BJ hasn’t got frost bite yet. His hands are hardly touching the ball.

If our side / spine can't isolate Lucy 1 on 1 with a lesser defender in the red zone we have real problems

Agree.
We are playing dumb footy with the ball in hand.

Last year garner off Brooks was brilliant, this year never used once

We signed LL and BJ and they aren’t being used how they should be.

It’s either the cattle we have to get the ball to them or the coaching plays are dumb

Seriously ...you get in the red zone ......get Reynolds to run ...follow it up with a Brooks ...the old back to back halves taking on a tiring middle ...compress the middle and then you have isolated the halves either side ...get on the outside of the edge defenders ...a simple run around even .....footy ain't rocket science

Especially with the ilk of BJ & Noffa, Garner and LL with AD all who can break tackles. Uggg is fun being a tigers fan isn’t it

The run around must be due to come back popular again
 
I've been quite happy with the way he's come on. Bullocking runner with the ball. Just wish his brother would find his feet. Shown glimpses but has been otherwise ordinary for reasons both in and out of his control.

Definitely origin quality at the moment

If eligible for NSW or does he play for NZ with Maguire? Also, Mikaele would be close to an interchange spot for Qld or will Maguire take him for NZ?

A well known 13 of Tongan descent and a Cronulla prop, one played for NZ and the other Aust before playing for Tonga. The lines are blurred, not as clear cut as a Bowraville product playing for Qld.

Has Leilua lived a day in NZ?
 
I’m pretty sure both Leiluas are eligible for NSW. Born and raised in NSW according to Wikipedia
