New Winger - Christian Tuipulotu

[Dion Johnson]

Debut today, player number 27 we have used this season.

 

[XV-1]

He is a large back. Looks more like a forward.
Is he fast and agile?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Didn't see him do much but good on him for getting on the field.

 

[madmax]

Weren’t our reserves Sipley, Lawton, Suli & Saddler??? How did Tuipulotu get to play or have I missed something? 18th man??

I seen him play NSW cup twice this season, does some hard carries and is hard to tackle.
Haven’t seen him in space to judge how quick he is, he prefers left centre.

Guaca failed his HIA, Saab got an early shower.

Saab after that tackle on Sivo deserved an early shower.

Saab after that tackle on Sivo deserved an early shower.

Yeah, how brilliant was that tackle... Saab just hurtled into him fearlessly and didn't miss.

What was really funny was not too long after that, Parra were down on our line a meter out and near the touch... Civo went into dummy half, picked up the ball and for a moment was going to have a go... saw Saab there in front of him and immediately pulled back and threw the pass...

Saw that as well, but thought it was Jake that he saw coming for him.

Welcome to Manly Christian - special day to debut.

It could be the herds of wildebeest, sweeping majestically across the....

What were you expecting, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon perhaps?

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Well done Christian. Looked good in the brief time on the paddock

 

[Woodsie]

It was this time last year that we were excited at the prospect of seeing young Tuipulotu play ..

Since then he seems to have fallen off every bodies radar ..

I wish him well and hope he storms back into contention.

 

[BOZO]

From what I saw I did not think Tippy Toes danced through tulips as well as I thought he could

Hopefully all that potential can come to fruition

Good luck to him and all the other players in the squad in securing a top 17 spot

 

[Supreme Leader]

wasn't he injured last year?

 

[BOZO]

wasn't he injured last year?

No season ending injury that I know of ?

 

[robbiea]

I think it was more the fact that the other centres and wings were not injured as the reason we didn't see him last year !

 

[BOZO]

That played a role as well .From what I had seen of him in the lower grades he did not set the world on fire . Did you see him play @robbiea ? How did you think he went ?

 

[winnyason]

He was awful in this game last year alot of one on one misses
