Two points about Taufua. Maybe he isnt the fastest winger going around, but two points are being missed.
Firstly a winger is only as good as the service he receives from inside (unless your a champion winger like Irvine was). With a side making metres and offering good service, his performance would probably be significantly better.
Secondly he is consistently one of our best metre gainers. Though this often happens with wingers and full backs (though not Stewart of late), he usually makes many more metres than the winger on the other side. He made twice as many metres as Wiliame against North Queensland, was one of the best metres gainers against the Titans, had was 50 metres better than Wright playing wing against the Panthers. This gives Manly at least some advantage other wingers are not giving us.
I'm not disputing Loobs criticism, but there are some others in this team who I would be showing the door before Taufua
