Opinion Aaron Schoupp

[D0GMATIC]

Seems this is unpopular opinion but I'm a bit disappointed I haven't really seen much spark from him in attack. Has he made many line breaks or tackle busts ? Next year if it's between Schoupp and Okunbor for a place in our backline I'd still chose Okunbor at this stage. A 6'4 108kg winger will help us make good starts to sets from our own end. He has proven to be capable of making tackle busts and line breaks from nothing. It would involve Cotric playing centre though. I still believe Cotric could make a centre. He was trying too hard maybe early for us. I really think he could make a strong centre pairing for us with Naden plus he needs to play centre to earn his 650K a season. Bit wasted on the wing.

We desperately need all the spark / bang for buck we can get in attack. If Alamoti proves better than Okunbor then I'm happy to move Cotric back to the wing but so far I don't see Schoupp as better than Okunbor

5 Okunbor

I hadn't seen him play before he debuted in the NRL.I haven't seen him open spaces or get any early ball yet,so its hard to know if he has much pace or attacking flare. But like his defence and aggression.

 

[B-Train]

His defence has improved a lot since that Penrith game. He's finally getting the ball more and showing what he can do in attack. I like the mongrel he has in his game. He's been one of the few bright spots to come from this season.

Future back rower

Will be interesting to see if he keeps his spot long term with Alamoti in the top 30 next year

They're opposite sides

 

[Dogs2004]

yep didnt mind givin it to the veteran jmoz

 

[Nate DAWG]

Nasheed here,
He has a lot of promise to him, I get annoyed that he thinks he’s black but he is a good player

What do you mean...'thinks he's black'?

 

[Philmus]

he’s gotta be in the team somewhere next year. i’m sure naden will have one centre spot and there’s talks of alamoti but i’d have schoupp in there somewhere for sure. love the aggression

 

[Interestingg]

Yeh but I’m assuming Naden is a lock at centre which leaves 1 spot remaining for Schoupp/Alamoti

I dont think he's locked in at centre.
He's probably a better winger.

 

[Benno Bulldog]

Think JAC will set some good standards for the backs as a leader and mentor some pretty impresionable young guys in Schoup Dufty and Naden, Okunbor and we need some accountability and leadership would like a forward from better system than Broncos for leadership and get these guys firing in attack. I like schoup though he's got some aggression and improving.

Honestly I reckon we should shop cotric around he is on 650 k that can help us with a hooker or a prop look at this backline
1. Dufty
2. Fox
3. Schoop
4. Alamoti
5.naden
6.burton
7. Avo

idk but that is still really good and we get a better hooker/prop

Alamoti not ready yet too many defensive issues.

How old is alamoti? 17 needs another 2 years to play first grade.

 

[Benno Bulldog]

agree his development and management of his career needs protecting but TBaz has nicely positioned some of these younger guys.

Baz said he’ll be in the top 30 next year.

 

[bulldogtimbo]

Really bro ??

I actually couldn’t think of a centre he reminds me of less than Matt Cooper lol.

But each to their own.

I am thinking more of a Willie Talau type.

Willie Talau goes kapow !!!!

Aaron Schoupp goes … um. … um…..

Fucked if I know. But he goes ok

Aaron Schoup goes WHOOP?

 

[Howie B]

Aaron Schoup goes WHOOP?

Love it

 

[Shire Dog]

I thought what a gutsy effort last night by young Aaron he really seems to have grown in confidence.
Does not mind getting stuck in or shy away from the big hits.
We’ve been lacking that sought of aggression for some time out wide.
