[Kyall]

Can someone post the article on Tevita that’s in courier please.

Everything will be fine. TAGA is in and likely to play 40 minutes. He'll score and whack a couple guys as well. I'm forecasting that he'll stay in the team after Friday night, WB just won't be able to drop him such will be the standard he'll set ! Ok, that's probably all bullshit but I hope some of it comes true.

Thought you'd be hoping Taggers was on his way to Ipswich on Saturday. Or aren't you allowed near him?

Perhaps it's time Bird had a dream Hayne style

I've seen Taga break the line quite often. He's hard to handle at his best. I am kind of baffled that he's been in QCup this long.

You really have a hard on for taga don't you !
I think he should've been there when McGuire went down.

Kotoni Staggs in for Shibasaki.

Our last decent win was against the warriors with taga in the team. It only justified huge's love for him further.

What's the take on this guy? Should we be excited?

From memory he was one of our best players in one of the trials this pre-season, runs hard, good foot work, knows how to score a try.

Very good prospect. Kicks goals as well. Reminds me a little of tyrone peachy. Think he will end up in the back row eventually

Doing well this year. Only thing I feel he needs to work on a bit is his discipline. Got sinbinned on the weekend for a stupid grab at a player

I just don't understand how Bird isn't losing weight? He's what? 23? He should have no trouble losing flab quickly. He should be on a strict diet and conditioning program, so what gives?

 

[1910]

Great reward, more robust and versatile than Shibasaki. Leading points scorer in the ISC with 84. Five tries so 22nd overall there. Had two good debuts this year- Colts two tries and ISC two tries. Let’s go a third. He’s a very smart footballer, seems to understand where to position himself and will just get a job done with no fuss.

Been at 6, back row and centre. Not scared to chip and chase too!

From Wellington like Peachey too.

Where do you think he will end up mate? I really see him in the back row honestly. Seen a fair bit of him for Reddy and he had been very efficient for them. Like you said, he gets the job done, is good without being great. As I mentioned before, I do worry sometimes about his discipline. He has a bit of a mouth on him towards refs as well. He been pulled up a few times about it in games and luckily hasn't been penalised.

We don't need anymore backrowers , we need a solid center to compliment roberts

We have a solid center in Bird if we pick him there, plus the likes of Opacic and Shibasaki as solid backup. We just need to use our outside backs better. Their attack is blunted so much by the amount of dirty work and defence they have to do.

There will be back row spots up for grabs anyway in a couple of years and the likes of staggs and Fifita plus Sua If we keep him. I just dont see staggs as a long term center. Always played his best footy when I've seen him in the back row.
