@SouthernMann he reminds me of a young Sopoaga. Looks to have the goods.
As the Highlanders develop as a team and have the capability to attack more, he will be a better option than Millar. Millar is more suited to a very structured and limited team, like we are at the moment.
-
@Canes4life Haha, I remember saying in here when he was still at St Peters College that he is the closest thing I have seen to Lima Sopoaga. He's looking like it at this stage.

Top off load from big Oli Haig to send Tavatavanawai away

This KFC race is pretty fucking weak

Great first half. A couple missed opportunities to put them to the sword there at the end of half. If De Groot had given it out the back instead of taking it in and getting turned over and if Te Hiwi didn’t have that early drop hot on attack. Te Hiwi also took it in hot on attack instead of releasing it but lucky for him he gained about 20m so it didn’t look so bad.

I thought Tw Hiwi's second 20 was pretty decent. Straightened up a bit and looked a bit more confident. Thought the locks, Haig, Fakatava, Faleafaga and the back three have been our best

Really solid defensive half. Harmon his usual self, great carries and great defense. Fakatava is having one of his better games of the season. Ajay looks comfortable which is great to see and plenty to build on in the second half. Keep the foot on the throat by taking it to them up front and playing territory and we should be safe here.
-
Te Hiwi again… you’ve got to give that mate. Luckily Nareki scored next phase

Te Hiwi is way off the level we need at 13, unfortunately that’s how it goes sometimes. He can do a job for sure and only young so I get it and that he has a bright future but shit it’s frustrating. Shows how valuable Tele’a is
-
That was beautiful. Nice work Gilbert, JRK and Tavatavanawai. Gilbert having a nice game

Yeah. He isn't there yet. Was clear when they picked Lowe ahead of him earlier in the year too. He's only going to improve with time on the field though.
-
Fakatava you beauty. What a hit. This is definitely a reminder of what he’s capable of

"Grooto" "rule number 1, don't credit Ben Smith" dead silence from Ethan
What a fuckwit
Who are you calling that? De Groot or Wheeler?

Wheeler, he's an embarrassment. Ethan had no idea what to say to that 'banter'.
