Kelma Tuilagi

[Smokin Joe]

Des will be ok with this, if it's a power laden 50 or 60min.

My concern is that Des may do to him what he has done to Bullemor..
Last year Bullemor was 110 kgs and very impactful(not an 80 min player),this year to play the full 80 he looks like he is maybe 103/4 kgs and looks like he has lost most of the weight in the lower body and seems to have way less impact running the ball.
I hope he keeps Tuilagi at his current weight and doesn't turn him into another lean mean no impact machine ....

Agree, before Bullemor came to us, I watched some of his highlight reels, and he looked robust with a more solid build. Des needs to get Bullemor back playing the way he used to at the Broncs.

Wests Tigers v Warriors, Friday 6.00pm, Campbelltown Stadium​

Wests Tigers: Jackson Hastings will not play after he was found guilty of a grade two dangerous throw at the judiciary on Tuesday night, opening the door for Jock Madden to partner Luke Brooks in the halves. James Tamou, Luke Garner and Jacob Liddle all return to the side this week with Kelma Tuilagi (head knock) out.

I'll wait to see a bit more of him - hard to judge as we have only really played the top of the table so far. None of our team including the million dollar men have shone as yet.

Now we know why Kelma only played 52mins last week, nothing to do with his fitness as some posted on here.

 

[Shoe1]

Glad he doesn't have concussion, just a head knock. As we all know concussion is bad, but head knocks are fine.

 

[Snake]

He's 23 and played 8 games. Melbourne let him walk. I'm not going to get too excited until I see him string some consistent football together. He has some promise no doubt.

 

[Jay Eagle]

Lot to like about this recruit.. easily the best player on the park first half, but taken off again due to an injury, possibly head knock two weeeks running ..has a red hot go

Sideline reporter, Parker said it was a shoulder injury, could possible return which he didn't

Has definitely got a bit of the Olaku'atu in his playing style, think we're on a winner here.

 

[Supreme Leader]

has he actually signed with us?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Yes but won't be here till 2023 and Manly is a bit too classy to arrange a big announcement (with or without leaked photos of him wearing a Manly jersey, lol at Dogs) (or quotes of him saying how much he wants to win a comp in the Manly jersey, lol at Chooks).

I reckon he's better than Guac actually. Runs harder and has a bit more speed and agility. Guac needs to come of the back fence a little more, rather than catching the ball standing still and trying to bust tackles from a slow start. On the occasions he hits it at speed he's almost impossible to stop.

spot on - he catches the ball flat footed yet still makes yards but yes imagine if he came off the back fence like Kikau tries to

 

[Tragic Eagle]

He is a serious talent! Great signing.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

In today's tele, he says that tigers talked to him about reneging on his manly contract.

How long does a club have to change a players mind from leaving their club.

MANLY did the same thing with DCE when he had signed with Titans

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

The rules were changed pretty much as a direct result of DCE using the then cooling off period, totally legally. The NRL thought it wasn't a good look (fair enough) so there is still a cooling off period but it is much shorter.
Possibly why Manly hasn't announced his signing yet. However why anyone would prefer to stay there than come to Manly... defies all sense!

Funny, I read this days ago in the tele which also said that Tuilagi is still going to the Eagles

 

[The Who]

Obviously I hope he comes to Manly next season, but do we really need another second rower? We've got Guaca, Davey, Bullemore, The Lawman, The Shoe (who will probably become 5/8 next season.
Kelma plays like Guaca, only not quite as well. Do we need such similar second rowers? Having a solid defence second rower seems more sensible to me.
