Match Stats

I agree! I thought he was great at fullback when Tom.was out. They gave that role to Hoppa just to keep him. To many wingers and backs
Or maybe they gave Hoppa the role because there is more to being a fullback than being really fast, such as defending, organizing a defensive line, defusing attacking kicks, ball playing. All things that Hoppa does better than Koula.
 
Like I've asked ... other than his pace or anything to do with his pace, what exactly does Koula offer at fullback??

He's not the playmaking type to set up tries for others like Snake was and Turbo is. His defence is OK but under a bomb he can be suspect.

Personally I'd rather he be out on the wing. In fact, if I was the coach, and thankfully that's a nightmare none of us have to live through, I'd have had Koula and Garrick on the wings today with Faulalo and Talau in the centres.
Faulolo is a good finisher and is too weak in defence for the centres. Koula is too suss under the bomb so centre
