The Magpies kinda dicked him around last year, so it's kinda hard to get an accurate assesment on whether he's good or not, in his 9 games of ISC last year he played 6 at centre & 3 off the bench. Has there ever been a good Fijian centre? To me all Fijian outside backs should be wingers, so they can utilise their freakish natural jumping and running ability.
Starting he couldn’t ease into games, he was targeted and his head would drop.
Targeted because he was playing out of position perhaps? Seems like an out and out winger to me.
How can he be out of position when it’s his first year? He has no position.
He was targeted because he couldn’t understand league. Same as Perese.
Which game makes you think winger? Standing out on the wing wouldn’t have helped his development at all. They got lapped every week.
Has no position, but has played wing in every other team he's played in that I can tell, including Rugby Union, right? He is also the same size, has the same skillset and has essentially every attribute you'd want out of a modern day winger. I don't know why you're defending them playing him at centre, that just seems like a poor call to me.
Isn't this also the same club that played Niu at centre for the first half of the season, when he was clearly a fullback?
Looking forward to seeing Perese reunited with Croft this year.Yes no position, he was a project and took time, just putting him on the wing wouldn't have helped at all. Perese played wing and centre too and he was more versed in league than Vudogo.
Looking forward to seeing Perese reunited with Croft this year.
Hopefully Croft knows his game better having played outside him in high school.Perese hasn't shown too much skill in the combination area, he just runs and breaks tackles. But he evolved so much this year and his understanding of the game to be able to reach that point that I think this year his big learning curve has to be understanding what other people are doing and putting himself in position to take advantage of that.
These are the kind of questions to answer in the trials. Along with Arthurs and Coates.Has Herbie played in the centres? If Isaako gets the fullback job then I would put Herbie on the wing but if Bird or Staggs go to fullback can Herbie play centre or would Perese or Vudogo be more likely?
