Faleafaga had a bit of a mare... his kicking game leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not convinced that at this stage of his career, he is a better player than Millar who does the basics far better. Should trust his running game, because that is his strength.
Yeah wasn’t his best performance but a game you sort of half expect. Huge ask going up there with a lot the other of the main players not on the field surrounding him. He did struggle but you can tell those are issues he can grow from and improve on. Heck of a talent. I remember Lima’s first couple seasons and he looked a lot worse than Falefaga has so I still hold out hope for him.
Agree with you on the Millar part about him getting the basics done better. I would probably say Millars organization is ahead of Faleafagas too but that’s all about time in the saddle.
The one thing Sopoaga always had though, was a decent length punt. Faleafaga doesn't have that, and I am not sure that is something that really improves... (or not as much as we need it to)
This is not to say he won't have a great career, because he is an extremely good playmaker, and another year in the NPC will do him good, but if you don't have a long punt, in the modern game it is difficult.
Yeah fair enough. Although I will say, Mounga was never known for his long range kicking game, or goal kicking for that matter. He never had that huge long boot, difference
was he was accurate and with time his decision making got better and better.We can only hope that with Ajay that similar things happen. He’s only 21 so I won’t grill his decision making too much at this point, especially in those conditions.
Ps before someone turns my words on me, I am in no way saying Faleafaga is going to turn into Mounga😂
