If that's his attitude then he can fuck off. The club is already fast tracking him through the grades and wants to cry over positions! Harden up and prove yourself.
Probably playing centre's allows to ease him in and adapt to reserves. I would imagine as he gets used to it they may shift him to halfs to partner Wakeham if they feel that's his future.
Definetly need infusion of youth and some good centre's. I'm looking forward to the kid and Averillo striking up a good combo but if alamoti keeps progressing the way he is then he will lock up a spot
In attack he pushes for quick play the balls and always passes to the halves. Even if he has to cut out passes, he makes sure the ball goes to the 6 & 7. Where as our 9s just hang around and pass to Tolman [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]
Who gives a shit what journos say or anyone else for that matter, I just wanna get back to winning... Fuck sakes it's been to long and we ain't getting any younger!!
How is Katoa and Kuresa going? I know earlier in the year they both started on the wings but lately been playing centre's . Also they both have had some time in CC.
Can't wait to see these kids progress through the grades. Alamoti is a beast, you just hope he can continue to develop and grow, maintain that playing style through the grades. Teo is so athletically gifted for a half if he continues to develop a halfs mindset he could be special.
Need to persist with him. He will get better with more exposure. Ideally he was supposed to only do 15 minutes or so today. But I think the game will do him a world of good for future games.
He is to slow, won't be able to hit the gaps or get around the opposite Centre. He can't fend and won't be able to create for the wing. He's a sitting duck in attack.
I agree with that. Wakeham needs majority of the season in cup I feel, but the last few weeks he has been really impressing and can maintain that consistency then he will get some time fg possibly of bench or partnering Foran back end of this year
We supposedly have some good outside backs coming through in the juniors, guys like Clayton, Kuresa, Katoa and then in the SG. I know it's a fair wait but really there nothing much we can do
I don't get it... Against the storm we played some of the best attacking ab-lib football in years. Off loads, backing up, structured football. Same players!!!! WTF happened these last few weeks the backs turned to shits.
I mean it's a young spine we have but FMD we should be improving not...
I believe it won't be long. He is just back 2 weeks from injury and missed preseason , He just needs to get some game time in his legs so that they can bring him along slowly with small minutes in First grade ala Ogden then build it up from there.
The problem is we are shit house at recruitingand identifying talent !! We have no fucking idea what talent looks like even if it was staring us in the face.
Nah. I'd rather leave him there and bring Katoa in after 30th June. By then he should have enough games under the belt.
FMD we have hardly anything to pick from.
Both #3 tawa and alamoti are similar. Big running centre's that can offload. Teo has good running vision. Interesting to see how the boys develop in SG next year
