How do we unlock Koula?

The only player to hold his head high today.
Was very good.

I'll give 53 tackles from Simpkin a shout.

But yeah, not much chop

 

[Ohgeez]

He has gone to another level this year 💪 Looks dangerous just about every time he touches the ball lately

I like that he is changing direction, using footwork and a change of speed rather than simply running straight into the defensive line.

Just keep giving him early ball.
Keep it simple.

Apart from his one drop ball, had another really strong game. He’s a fantastic player.

 

[Oligarch]

It’s interesting, pre this season, I hadn’t seen what others had in Koula (well apart speed) but geez it looks like he has worked incredibly hard in the off season, fast, tough and elusive. We need to keep him.

We really aren’t playing much left side at the moment, Brooks/Kolua/Hoppa not getting a lot of possession to show there skills. Like to see Brooks to kick a bit more in the last to add a left side element.

A kick is a good idea but I think we are better going left, regardless. Tom is definitely more effective from right to left and Brooks is better at engaging defenders at the line than DCE, who likes to play a bit flatter and earlier to Olakau’atu.

He is also deceptively strong.

 

[Rocky]

He's decided to unlock himself. Dude is absolutely electric. One of the few reasons to still watch a Manly game right now.

The FOXsports headline reads:

Turbo masterclass as Sea Eagles dominate Dolphins in DCE’s 350th to keep finals hopes alive​

Obviously the reporter must not have watched the game. Koula was the best player on the field by far! Even Turbo would admit that.

That's fine, I posted my MVP points before I'd even seen the 2nd half.
(I'd seen enough to give Tolu the 3 points) 🙂

Extend this guy right now!! Why we haven’t offered him a new contract already is beyond me. He cannot go to market

I mean he is signed until the end of 2027 meaning he can it even talk to clubs until the end of next year but sure why not throw money at a problem you do not need to solve now and could impact us in the future
