Quote ="Wildmoose"Some great finishing by Uate & McManus this morning, 2 tries each vs Manly. Strong performance from Willie Mason as well. Never going to happen of course but I'd be very happy if we got Kevin Naiqama over ">though.'" Wont get any of them.

Yeah, Wes has signed for Penrith. Kevins recent form has probably opened a lot more doors for him unfortunately. Don't think anybody has signed Junior Sau yet but we're not really looking for a centre now, unless we can get him to play on the wing.

Don't think anybody has signed Junior Sau yet but we're not really looking for a centre now, unless we can get him to play on the ">wing.'" Junior is a short and heavy guy who can't jump. He would be a real target on the wing. He is a little tank who is very hard to stop one on one and he has scored a lot of tries by just barging over the line. Unfortunately, he won't pass the ball and has no vision to see when someone else is in a better position to give them the ball. Every player and coach in the NRL now knows that Junior won't pass, so all defenders just go for him when he gets the ball - no one hangs off on the winger because they know he won't get the ball. Bennett spent the whole off season trying to teach Junior to pass with no luck, so Junior has to go. In the ESL it might take a while for every player to work out he has to be tackled by 3 players every time, so he might smash some holes in some defenses - he still does in the NRL from time to time, and when he plays for NZ he still manages to smash over the line against Australia at times.

Most of this makes me think he'd be better on the wing. We don't have anybody at the back who carries the ball with real aggression & our kick returns & exit sets can be quite poor. A Matt Utai type who could make good ground early in a set would be a big asset imo.
