Odd for some to make a Kiraz v Alamoti comparison. Thanks for pointing out facts re Alamoti. He was gone from us before he turned 20 yes before. His game will only keep improving as he gains more experience and more so with Ivan Cleary as his coach.Besides the fact you don’t judge a kid by how quickly one of his peers develops, as some develop sooner than others, they are totally different players…
Kiraz wasn’t lighting up our attack last year. Nobody was. He was still able to shine through kick returns and taking tough carries out of yardage. Kiraz also made his debut in 2022, so was a little more experienced.
debuting at centre in a team that wasn’t firing in attack and was completely overhauling its defensive systems, Alamoti was on a hiding to nothing. He is a very talented local junior and I’m not sure why we gave up on him.
