New Winger - Christian Tuipulotu
- Thread starter The Wheel
- Start date
He played out of position last season, his preferred position is left centre, played on the right side for worker’s.
i think he's missed his chance, with the back 5 we had last year still there & the younger ones on their way up he will need to start the year off like tom did last year to get a shot ahead of the others

Happy birthday to the young guy,he turns 21 today.
But according to some just stick a fork in him,he's done apparently.Can't improve once you hit the big 2 1.
Just a quick edit...he looks to have really slimmed down and has been training on the wing,maybe that is where Des sees his future?

First Grader
Just so little opportunity for Tippy Toes last season so a bit early to have a good gauge of his overall ability or i st grade capability . Very ordinary on the wing and poor positional play in one game i saw him play in the reggies last season but earlier noticed some strong runs as a centre in a previous match . Good ability to break a i st tackle but again we are talking about reserve grade . Think that he came on in the back row as a sub in i st grade against the Eels earlier last season for his debut but certainly not suggesting that he has a future there . Obviously has ability , be surprised if he makes a go of it as a winger unless real improvement there , centre still seems his best prospect but plenty others of course available or vying for those spots .
Christian Tuipulotu soaks up experience in tough year
Christian Tuipulotu is determined to make the most of any opportunities that come his way this season following a challenging 2021.

A competent first grader should be able to play left or right centre and anywhere else on the field where he is required.
He didn't play firsts ,so I didn't see him.
He was next in line but team didn't need him due to NO INJURIES.
I saw his try on debut for Roosters against Storm though.
We will see him this year ,I'm sure.

In fairness how many games were played last year in the state comp? Good players learn quick so I'd wait till middle of season to criticize anyone from Blacktown. Not fair.
Fair point feathered friend .
But is also fair to say that high quality players should stand out in the lower standard NSW cup games
From the limited games played in NSW comp last season and from what I have seen Tippy toes did not stand out .
But time is on his youthful side to live up to his potential and as you say let see how he goes again this year .
In regards to the Manly fans being critical of any player that does not live up to our Legendary clubs History of Greatness .
We fans make no apologies to judging players with our Great players of the past that Made our Club the Greatest club of all
As 2nd best is not a Manly thing !
