Kelma Tuilagi

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Just saw a reply of the Tigers trial and I think we have gotten a good one here.

Can we have him now? With Moley injured, our depth is about to be tested.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Will be interesting to see how all the pieces fit next year with shoey, smole, bully, kelma and Lawton. Probably have the best depth in the comp in that position

My ideal would be:


6. Schuster
7. DCE
8. Paseka
9. Gordon/ Fainu / Lawton
10. Jake
11. Kelma
12. Smole
13. Bully

Best and scariest backrow in the comp. Mobile, powerful and speedy pack.

I’d probably switch Bully and Jake in that team… not sure Bully has the ball skills to be a link man at 13.

I can't see jakey going back to prop.. if he hasn't yet I doubt he will in the future. Doesn't have the powerful running game to bend the line

 

[Shoe1]

Some nice short passes from jake almost out Keppie through a couple of times.

 

[Remy]

I’d probably switch Bully and Jake in that team… not sure Bully has the ball skills to be a link man at 13.

He can develop one, he's got the attributes to become a Cam Murray like lock. Jake and Bully are interchangeable, just like the idea of fitting two ball-playing forwards in the middle.

Saw him in the Tiger game, he's a good player. Thanks for giving him some NRL experience this year Tiges, should be a good addition for us next year.

Have we actually signed him though ?

Technically we poached him.

Okayyy hehe. So it's a thing ? He's at Manly.nexy year ?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

It was reported that we poached him. No official announcement that I know of. The Tigers forum has a 20 page thread about us signing him, I haven't read it though
NSW rival reportedly swoop on young Tiger

Kelma Tuilagi Signs With Manly

We've got a couple of second rowers that look pretty good in attack but are unfortunately leaving, but one thing all our second rowers have in common is that they all have defensive issues. And there's no one to teach the younger ones coming through....

[Eagle_since _73]

His nickname can be Wilma . Wilma Tuilagi

 

[Mitch]

He’ll be with us in 2023 mate. Haumole and Kelma on both edges could be scary.

 

[joeboy]

This guy is a player

 

[Shoe1]

His nickname can be Wilma . Wilma Tuilagi

I’m going with Velma

 

[Chip and Chase]

Good attacking weapon based on last night's effort. Defence a little hit and miss. He kept Garner on the bench for 60 + minutes last night so must be doing something right

He and Guac on the edges could be a lethal combo if he keeps improving, as they have similar looking line breaking abilities. Seems a reasonable signing, worth keeping an eye on his development for the rest of the year.

 

[JakeyB789]

The thought of having this guy on the left edge with Schuster feeding him and then Olakau’atu on the other side is seriously exciting. If we can somehow get Fainu back in, bring Koula and Tuipulotu along this year and have Bullemor in the middle our team next year will be scary with young talent

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Hilarious.
Stalwart means "loyal, reliable, and hard-working" ... Zorba is a former stalwart meaning he is no longer loyal reliable and hard-working??!! Funny because, as you say, it sounds like he wrote it himself 🙂

Does Zorb have a ‘heart of oak’?
