Watch the kid in the number 1 on the Junior Kangaroos recent two games agains the Junior Kiwis.
He goes ok icon_thumbs_u
Looks like Yow Yeh and Kemp will be fighting for one wing spot.

 

[Big Pete]

He's a talent...although I don't like how he was smoked by a lock forward in the second game...or chased down by a prop (no video of it...but was reported in the NZ vs. PNG game)

 

[Big_Dave]

HAHAHA.
Pete, maybe you should watch the game in full before commenting on such things you have no idea about icon_thumbs_u

 

[Big Pete]

[icon_confu it's clear as daylight on the video he was stood up by a lock.

Didn't see the Taupau run down of Gagai but the notion of it worries me a little.

Don't get me wrong, your relative is a good player and I reckon he's going to nab a starting wing jersey. Still the news worries me somewhat.

I like Gagai, but Big Dave REALLY REALLY REALLY likes Gagai.

You're having a go at Gagai's speed yet you thought Hunt was the greatest thing since slice ****.
Hunt was the slowest fullback in the game!

Hunt was the slowest fullback in the game!

Hunt had the poise and playmaking ability to make up for his speed. Considering he barely played wing for the club, his speed rarely let him down at the back.

Gagai on the other hand will be relying on his speed on the wing, unless you want to see him to continue develop his playmaking abilities and displace his cousin.

Gagai will develop into a 5/8th, he has more poise and playmaking ability than Hunt could dream of having.
I will prove you wrong yet again Big Pete, like I did when I said Hoffman will be a star [eusa_naugh

 

[pennywisealfie]

wait wait wait wait wait. Who on Earth thinks sliced **** is great?

 

[Big_Dave]

wait wait wait wait wait. Who on Earth thinks sliced **** is great?

Hey Penny, how are you? Elia here.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Oh hello Elia! I'm good thank you.

[icon_lol1. I was one of the few who thought he deserved a chance in the preseason.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Gagai develop into a five eighth down the line. That's not what I'm disappointed about. It's his speed as a winger I'm worried about. I'm sure he'll still go well with Inglis inside him.

 

[Porthoz]

Whoever plays on the wing next to Inglis better eat his brekkie, because he will have a hard time keeping up... eusa_think

He is quicker than Hoffman but has hammy issues for quite some time now.
He'll do fine on the wing

 

[Big Pete]

Hopefully. I expect a big season from him regardless of what occurred on the weekend.

 

[Flutterby]

He is quicker than Hoffman but has hammy issues for quite some time now.

This concerns me. One hammy injury no real worries but if he has had issue for "quite some time" then that to me indicates he is likely to be injured quite a lot - especially if he is on the wing, hammys need to 100% for the quicks in any sport.

 

[Bucking Beads]

There is a lot to get excited about but Gagai isn't anything to be excited about yet.
