Caleb Navale

the dude is getting "blooded" (Haumole took a while to get a regular gig)

whats wrong with that?

TBH, I thought he looked a step behind the pace of the game at times. Despite his leg speed, he did look a little slow to react, and caught him struggling to get back in the defensive line once or twice. I hope we continue to develop him and ease him in with more game time. He does look promising.

We won by 18 points mate give it a break

So what and give what a break?

We have one player off all game, so bench down to 3 and Navale gets 7 minutes.
You give it a break 😠

You're right, he was gassed after 6

Some people (many of them on this site) will never be happy 😂

When you win a game by 18 and the opposition score 6 points, the coach is vindicated in his use of the bench.

True. But why he only got seven minutes does put unnecessary pressure on the other players, particularly with Jurbo ruled out quite early.

I am not convinced but also have not given up on Navale yet… I think there is a baller there but I reckon he needs to strengthen… I see him similarly to Burbo when he came into the side..

And a win up there is a good win and they have been playing well lately

He is being eased into 1st grade. Definitely can handle the contact but just needs to work on his endurance and adjust to the speed.
I really like what I’ve seen of him. He won’t let you down in defence and quick across the ground for a prop. Looks to have very good ball skills as well as a ball playing forward.
Could be a quicker version of Jurbo in the making.

Doing well so far.

Many are so impatient, let the kid develop.
