TBF, his first two seasons weren't too memorable and he was basically a teenager back then.

did he even play much? I think he spent a lot of time with the 7s, and I just remember a yellow (or red) for taking out a south african player in the air.
but yeah, I think 2020 was his breakout year - now he's actually getting the attention

I think that was Tanielu Tele'a in his rookie year when he played on the wing.

far out I'm getting old. Telea it was indeed

@dice Yup have to agree there.

And yes, Tele'a got a red card for taking the Stormers winger out in the air in 2019.

@bovidae second year syndrome - suddenly you get marked, and you lift your game

Yep. Use the extra attention to distribute / offload and find the space that is created elsewhere. Maybe that is why he keeps heading infield rather than trying to go outside? Trying to link up, rather than go over or through a couple of defenders.

yeah but it helps if you have the ball..

True. Limited opportunities, but making the most of them is also key. The Blues aren't great at converting breaks into points.
