How do we unlock Koula?

[Stewbojevic]

I’m a big fan of Koula and I think he’s a good centre.

However, it feels like there is SO much upside we’re not utilising. I think about the times he has played fullback with open space. Then there’s that amazing try against the Dogs in the finals last year.

How do we get him more space and utilise his speed and skill more?

With Turbo out, we need to maximise the talent we have!

He probably needs a bit more licence to roam, like Turbo in SOO

Koula needs ball in space. Early ball will unlock him.

Not so sure it is a matter of us not utilising him ... IMO the onus on improvement is his ... he needs to practice beating a man one on one ... his go to mode appears to be head down and charge the defensive line like it is a hit up ... in your own half that's fine ... but in their zone he needs to be thinking of beating his man with footwork .. something I have rarely seen from him ...

That’s the way I see it

Brooks likes running to the line before passing, good for backline moves but sometimes just get him the ball early with space for a 1 on 1 chance.

A better half back who gives him early ball. Same with Haumole.
