Agree. He was our best back after Saab IMO. He got us on the front foot when we were going nowhere. Diffused bombs that most other wingers would've dropped.
Siua Wong played another game in reserve grade today.
Surely he can't be happy sitting behind the glut of backrowers the Rorters have. We should be talking to his manager about a starting spot.
Talau was a very good 6 coming through the juniors. I think he may have even made rep teams in that position. I don't think he was the pick for 5/8 tonight, but he's not new to the position.
Respectfully disagree with any suggestion Caleb is an "arm grabber". 95% tackle efficiency in NSW cup for a guy making 30 or 40 tackles a game is pretty good. 99% in his 3 games for Fiji.
He has shown that he is very capable with ball in hand as well. When he is playing lock (not hooker) he is...
Our middles look tired and weren't up to the fight. Brown was probably the exception and did his best to get us some momentum. Hope we are selective about our forward spots for next year. Lodge started off well last year but looked a slug in his return, wouldn't re-sign him.
Caleb Navale is...
Doesn't look phased under the high ball, makes good defensive decisions, silky hands, great footwork and does the tough stuff well.
I know it is early days, but I really like the look of this kid as our future fullback. We need to keep this Hoppa.
A lot of people including me thought Talau was rubbish when signed last year, but he has been our most consistent back this year. I'm willing to give Schoupp, a former junior NSW rep a chance.
Seibolds comments indicate to me that he is a depth signing so he won't have broken the bank.
