I'm glad someone said it.

1st game in years.. and olam is a nuggety beast
The kid gets one game with no match fitness in an unfamiliar position and you have the audacity to judge his skills on that.
Should have been in the team 9 weeks ago at fullback, the two players in Elliot and Garrick were caught out.
I won't rag on the kid, give him a chance to show us what he has, but the few times I saw him in jnrs I didn't think he stood out much (not enough to deserve the praise he gets here anyway)
And tonight he was a turnstile.. addo car brushed him off for his first try, and the just ran riot down his wing all day long.

Yes looked out of place at times and storm targeted him all night but i say stick with him, we have worse problems than Albert.
He's a kid. Back off.
Give him time, he is very young and has no match fitness.
Read my post knob, I said he wasn’t ready!
I’m sure he can play, but he was not ready for selection in NRL
Des got pressured into this no too ways about it.
If you think his defence was NRL standard, you need your eyes checked.

Agree, he tried hard
But Des was right to hold him back to 2021. I’m sure he got forced into this selection
For the illiterate, I’m not bagging the kid at all, he didn’t select himself.
Now he is in, he can do no worse than some of the other NRL pretenders in this team
Picked out of position Albert, he has been ready for weeks.
Got caught out in defence no doubt, he has played fullback from the games I have watched him.
I won’t lower myself or the forum of the people on here to comment on you personally.
I agree he probably did get forced.
But saw enough to think it right to stick with him now for the rest of 2020
I can agree, decision is done now.
I’m not knocking him, just the process.
I hope he becomes a star

We cant really say he was good or bad, you look at the circumstances he was injected into the team and from the situation he was taken (recurring injuries); i really cant fault him in terms of a first grade debut.
He didn't do terribly in a badly performing team, nor did he set the world on fire. I think he did what we should have expected and first grade is a future for him certainly; be it Manly or another team (should his father have any sway).

Is he Fijian? I think we need to go player shopping in Fiji.
