Piakura deserved to be ahead of him but we lost alot of flexibility with him gone.Ask Capewell to come back.
Dude can play middle, edge and at centre (well too).
TPJ at his peak was a backrower attacking weapon but a defensive liability(at backrow due to him being too big) which is our issue now.Tpj is the perfect and also the most realistic option
Just need him to come off the bench and run hard and with aggression through the middle most weeks. His ability to slot in at 2rf is just a nice benefit in case we cop an injury mid gameTPJ at his peak was a backrower attacking weapon but a defensive liability(at backrow due to him being too big) which is our issue now.
But we are not likely to get TPJ at his peak.
if you are asking him to do a middle role that would be simple, but edge these days is alot more sophisticated, that and centre are very hard positions defensively due to the liability(the half) in between them that gets constantly targeted by nearly all set plays.Just need him to come off the bench and run hard and with aggression through the middle most weeks. His ability to slot in at 2rf is just a nice benefit in case we cop an injury mid game
Both times we've copped the injury within the first 5mins... TPJ would be gassed haflway through the first half if we were relying on him to play 2rf in those situationsJust need him to come off the bench and run hard and with aggression through the middle most weeks. His ability to slot in at 2rf is just a nice benefit in case we cop an injury mid game
He had to lower his target area because of the high shots last year... now he's HIA'ing himself.Has Piakura gotten through a game this year without a HIA or concern? its a real worry, wonder if its just tackling technique?
