Would that be the ESL where their 2017 champions got flogged by over 30 by a Melbourne side still in pre-season? The same one that even plonkers like the Dragons and Souffs beat as well? No doubt he can run but he will be lucky to get a run in FG. Even Fonua offers more than him and he will struggle.
Did you watch the tigers trials ? He absolutely killed it and looked like a completely different player .....

I'm sure he'll shock a lot of ppl this year

Lolohea is a bit of a freak though and his best position is FB. With the halves chockas for the tiggers and their wingers pretty well set there isn't any room for him. Plus he is too small. Let's face it he has ticker and a bit of speed but not much else, otherwise he wouldn't have had to go to ESL to get a start. He's playing for peanuts for the tiggers.

Scored a try from a Brooks kick, almost scored another and had a 40 meter run after getting the ball in the in-goal. Looked lively every time he got the ball. The Sharks weren't messing around either, it wasn't like he did this against easy opposition.

Pretty much locked in as fullback since Tui is still struggling with fitness.
Is Tui still a fat lazy ****?

Good Luck to him.

Hope he does well (except against us)

He has more heart than 90% of NRL players. Hope he kills it even if he is at the Tigers

He'll do well and make a lot of naysayers here look silly IMO

LOL Is that the **** where everyone here was like Corey Thompson just needs heaps of space and be other team to back off so he can show Off his elusive style of play lollll.
He’s a major reason into why we were exposed in the 2014 gf I hope to god that guy never steps foot in the bulldogs club again. A tough heart can only get you so far in a physical mans game.

Dude we were NEVER winning that grand final... it was rigged. Gerard Sutton fucked us over... and it blew out in last 10 minutes.

Thompson had about a 50% strike rate for us. For 2 seasons that's bloody decent.

Yep and Fonua offered more all game. One little scoot down the sideline doesn't change that. Good on him and after watching how Lolohea seems to have lost his speed he may get the FB job but he doesn't stack up against Moz, Mbye or even Montoya (who was rubbish in that game)
