Tasman v Northland
-
@Nepia I will clarify - I have no compunction about signing kids out of school or other people's club competitions.
They're on your doorstep - if you want them sign them.
If you fail to identify their talent or let them slip through your fingers then bad luck - lift your game.
I'm a bit uneasy about signing people who are clearly wanted from other people's teams. Hence, Hames, Reece and Talea are signings I'm not comfortable with. They're poaches - like when you guys nicked the Mighty Kahn - but, that was way worse because it was facilitated by Steve Tew!

I don't understand why Faiane is getting rated so highly in either match. Hasn't been bad but certainly hasn't stood out. His kicking is a bit of a liability - definitely missing Debreczeni at 10. More of a danger with ball in hand than Hawkins but still not taking it to the line like Debreczeni did either.
Really can't understand why Gregory isn't at 12. If he's fit he should be starting at 12 every match and we build the backline around him. Would also like to see Macilai get a run - probably in place of Leilua. Leilua has been ok but Macilai is such a danger at this level and we could do with someone who can make something out of nothing

@kev said in Ta$man v Northland:
Just want Jordon to throw that big body around more.
He needs to get the ball before he can do that, alt of the play hasnt gone his way, but when we have had the ball we rarely send it his way, he did go looking the other night as he was on the other side a few times, but we still need to use him more as he attracts more than 1 defender which will create space.

@taniwharugby Fair comment - some times in games that is very much the case. That said, Leilua has impressed me this year with his physicality.
