Daily Telegraph/Rothfield Spencer Leniu

[Bulldogs09]

I’d welcome Leinu for sure. Still think haas is a must at the expense of Thompson or Jackson after 23 retirement I’d imagine.

I'd take him every day of the week. Aslong as you have a defensively sound hooker and lock that play 80mins. Having Pele and Leniu as impact props off the bench would be nice.

Gee the lock and hooker would want to be defensively sound and then some, if Pele and Leniu are on at the same time.

The knock on both is endurance.

Plenty of impact though.

We need size but I feel like Leniu is mighty mouse. He seems to have a shit attitude as well at times.

I wish we'd throw the bank at someone like Reuben Cotter. Would love a crazy eyed, hard nosed Aussie prop in the mould of Shrek or Ben Hannant.

Leniu goes 0-100 but can only do it for 20-30 minutes. He's the perfect bench impact prop. Maybe if he paces himself a bit better he can play more minutes but sort of goes against his strengths.

Yes to spencer

Ciro is fixing all those problems

Andrew Fifita is better than Lenui, look at there stats, Lenui is just an angry looking face thats it.

No chance. Not in 2022.

Leniu - Fifita
23 minutes - 23 minutes
0.2 tries - 0.1 tries
0 try assists - 0.1 try assists
0.2 line breaks - 0.1 line breaks
12.9 tackles - 14.1 tackles
1.6 tackle breaks - 1.9 tackle breaks
0.9 miss tackles - 0.3 miss tackles
0 offlaods - 1.1 offloads
0.2 errors - 0.3 errors
0.2 turn over tackles - 0.1 turn over tackles
69 metres gained - 62 metres gained

(average per game)

Not much between them but Fifita's been slightly better when looking at the stats.

With Fifita being 33 (I think he's had a decent year) you'd definitely want Leniu due to age and potential.

Prefer Tanner get more time in first grade next year. He's a fire hydrant.

Jayden Tanner
22 years old

Go have a look at this stats from the last month in NSW cup -
Last week v Jets - 13 runs for 145m and 40 tackles
v Bears - 19 runs for 222m and 25 tackles
v Parra - 20 runs for 198m and 32 tackles
v Jets (final round) - 12 runs for 127m and 34 tackles

He's a go-er. Hope he has a crack next year in first grade and stays injury free. Love him.

100%, if we ain't signing a superstar prop like Haas or Tapine then I'd much rather invest time into guys like Tanner and Makatoa over signing more middle of the road props.

Thanks Steve

both would work good in tandem tho as different types of players

Agree Spencer is more aggressive. Going to be interesting trying to get the balance right unless TPJ starts playing bigger more quality minutes consistently.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

we need to keep the local juniors for cap pressure
