Yeah that's the thing.. Tesi isn't going to be throwing those cut out balls off a sweep play like Boyd back in the day and most fullbacks do now unless he's done a fair bit of work in the off season.
This i disagree with. Tesi struggles when the heat is on and reverts to brain snap school football mode. Best example was air swinging a 9 iron trying to kick a ball dead instead of diving on it. This tells me he is far far far away from being ready full time.
I’m getting less and less bothered by the Billy Walters playing 6 noise. Not because I think he deserves it or that he’s the best option but as silly as it might make me, I’m building enough confidence in the rest of the team that if he comes in and just makes his tackles and stays out of the way I think we have a good team regardless.
I agree with you in a lot of areas but in some your rating him just a little to highly. Like calm down with Manu comparisons there play styles are so different and Farnworth hasn’t really earned the right to be compared to him. As for everywhere in the backline you have kind of just made an assumption with Fullback and considering he has never got an opportunity there whilst training there a number of times would probably suggest otherwise. But as for patience and his promise at such a young age in such a dire situation I completely agree.
Yeah, **** this shit. No. That's not the job description. It's not everyone else's job to coddle him.
"Farnworth hasn't earned the right yet ..."
Take it out of context why don’t you and Deine Mariner has graduated, the point was that he is the best in the state with some serious competition the bloke in year 12 who is ranked the best Union schoolboy player (2nd in the list) is not at our club. Also again out of context I said Herbie hasn’t earned the right to be compared to MANU. Herbie is also a 21 year old centre who hasn’t accomplished shit so yes I think it is very well fair to compare him with an 18 year old who is the best schoolboy player in QLD. Cause realistically they are months away from competing for the SAME SPOT see where Deine Mariner is comparable with a bloke he is competing for a spot with in the near future as opposed to comparing Farnworth with Joey Manu who not only don’t play anything alike but are so different in ability levels. Chances are Farnworth won’t come close to Manu ever as most players aren’t considered the best centre in the game by a number of experts.
Oh I just love how players developing themselves in the toughest arena and aren't yet the complete player get written off long before these teen sensations grow hair on the balls and get touted as a namestay for '"team list of 2030"
I miss Jack Reed
Not as much as Corey Oates does, both in attack and defence.
