Interesting Uate story...

[The Indian]

That's been the "genius" of signing Uate. Instead of Jorge copping the aerial bombardment and resultant knock ons, all the traffic has gone to Uate and for the moment he's been lapping it up. Jorge is loving that we signed Uate as a decoy bomb target to take some heat off, and get's to do what he does best ( dummy half runs powerhouse )....just wish Jorge would hold the ball a bit tighter on his carries it's like rolling a dice when he has it in traffic.

Uate and Green. Astute signings that didn't break the bank.

plus Brian Kelly

Wingers used to have the cushiest job in a team. Just run fast, be evasive. Don't bother about tackling, and no-one ever directed an up-and-under to you; catching kicks was the fullback's role.
Now wingers are battering rams, plus bomb disposal experts, are expected to tackle, fly through the air and score one-handed, as well as being fast and evasive.
Wingers are among the most important players in modern RL. No-one is going to catch every bomb, but Uate has been amazing. Hopefully we go easy on him if he doesn't maintain his impeccable record.
