How the fuck is roumanos anywhere near the main team lol
Mixing it up id say. Trying different things
I'd say edge forward at this stage.
Is Katoa a strong ball carrying winger? Legit question, I haven’t seen him play but he looks a little lightweight (listed at 5’11 and 90kgs) compared to some of the 100kg+ wrecking balls playing on the wing these days.
A difficulty for players like Topine is that they have only played - ( apart from a few minutes in a trial) in age division footy. His size hasnt been a factor in age divisions, he hasnt relied on being the biggest player to dominate. Similar to Darren smith - runs good lines defends well leads by example and extremely busy for the full game.
I'm not sure it will effect Topine as much as he seems to have a great attitude and was training in the bubble last year but you are right about playing out if their age divisions. It will be interesting to see what effect missing a year of footy has for lower grade players.
Maybe but where is the Kikau on the edge? Thought that was supposed to be Ray.
I think we will see Jackson at 13 and RFM on an edge by first round. I think one wing and one prop are the only spots undecided at this stage in the starting 13 but I also think whole bench is undecided. blokes like waddell Stimson Atoni Ogden Napa and Katoa all vying for those spots.
He's in the rehab squad... along with a few others like Elliott
Not so much a strong ball carrier. He is like an Ado Carr type winger. I played my juniors with Tui, went high school with him every much we played together he was always the best on the field tidy footwork, has a great step, fast has crazy agility would not shy away at all doing the tough carries as well and makes meters due to footwork and leg drive. I have him locked into that wing spot for the whole year if he gets given a crack come round 1 he will not disappoint
Cheers mate, some impressive highlights from the young man
Just seen his highlights video posted here. He looks good to me mate, some impressive footwork and good speed and a few creative touches. Thanks for the inside info on him mate.
