Leniu has got 20 minutes of aggression in him per month, much like a pensioner in the bedroom blowing cobwebs out of his arse. Will never have 60 minutes of output, or if he somehow does it would be reserve grade standard.
I think you’ll find he’s played a lot bigger minutes in past seasons and had led it fine. He played less minutes this year because he was stuck behind the best front row in the comp and Ivan knew he was on his way out.
How do you know what we pay. Most have been signings providing opportunity. Critta is above market maybe but he helps in many areas . You said Critta money for Spence . To me that’s 300k over and he is unproven at starting prop. Has he got it in him to start and do the hard work in a pack that needs a lead prop . I’m not paying him overs for unproven. And it seems like Gus wouldn’t and for the same money or slightly under he goes to the roosters and plays the same role as at penrith, cant blame for taking the easy money. This is a rebuild don’t blow the cap out of desperation. It’s like taking to a brick wall though.
Stop, you're getting me hard. lol.
If true that is the dumbest plan I have ever heard..Way to small to handle that part of the game.
I think the majority of your takes are more accurate than most give you credit for, this one not so much.
It was probably backrow and I misremembered
Even still he is more Matty Utai than he is Steve Matai. I really had hopes for him but I think he lacks speed for the backs and like Topine lacks size for the forwards.
He has power, he will be fine. We just did to him what Bulldogs do to a lot of young kids.
What, give him a chance? He had plenty of opportunity to stand out and just didn’t quite make it. I was disappointed he didn’t work out with us but not as disappointed as I was that we lost Avo.
He's 19. He was not ready for firstgrade and I called it ages ago. Throwing a kid in that's not ready is not giving him a "chance" or "opportunity". We also played him on the left despite him being a right side dominant player. Like I said this is what the Bulldogs do. Done the same with Karl, not even remotely close to firstgrade but I guess we won't go there now.
I agree with Karl, but not Alomoti. He has power but he lacks physical size to be in the back row. If he had genuine speed he would be a winger Matty utai type.
Gus said that a long time ago!
Manly with Paseka at their disposal should be higher on the board
