He finished the season wonderfully? I vaguely remember the dragons scoring 4 tries on his side of the field in that final... Nikorima is not up to first grade. Until he has the capability to make just a single one on one tackle in a game, he should piss off to reserve grade.
Alf, Lewis and Walters were already pretty capable before the broncos (not to say they didn't progress in their development, except lewis, but it was complimenting established skills). Sowards skills didn't so much improve as to be used at their optimum with good coaching.
I suspect we have had some pretty ordinary defenders in the broncos halves over the years but I'd still have picked them. Walters was a terrible defender and Lockyer led the competition with missed tackles one year (along with seymour, they were 1st and 2nd at one stage).
Just on Walters being as you describe as terrible I will say that unlike quite a few recently at the Bronco's, Kevvie would at least get in front of the guys he was attempting to tackle. They had to go over him, we've had quite a few run alongside yelling 'tagged' recently. Walter's at least slowed them down enough for help to arrive.
Nope haha. But he has huge potential.
So, could someone answer my original question please. What is Andre Savellio's status? I'm guessing he's still in our squad as someone said he stayed in Aus but does anyone know how he's going, is he fully recovered and if he may make the big stage in 2019.
Thanks jarro, that's a good indicator. He must be backing himself to make it. It's kind of exciting with a new coach and a battery of eager mad dogs ready to rip and tear in 2019. Hope it matches our expectations.
Said pic ....
not really
I’m bad with lookalikes but think I’m good.
I get the feeling it would be unwise to start all 3 of Offa, Lodge and TPJ in the middle. It will be interesting to see how we line up and if he changes regularly early on. Thoughts on Sua at lock? Would give the opportunity to Fifita to start.
