Taniela Paseka ... it's time ..

[Disco]

For mine people are too harsh on Paseka, because of his size they expect him to be Haas.

Very good prop and has improved year on year

There are a few standout front rowers in the game, AFB, Topine, JFH, Haas, Tito and Flegler.

I would have Tent At the next level with Spencer, May, RCG, Stefano, Fotuaika and Nelson, all very good players that are looking at getting into the conversation of being in the top tier.

Tent is the best front rower at the club and was a one punch man for the majority of 2024, is an easy target for opponents coaching staff to go after him. Needs a few others to go with him.

Who did we buy to replace AFB? Aloiai. Then Lodge 1.0, 12 games in 2 years.
Paseka is not the problem, our management is.

Hard not agree with that, it’s a long old season going one out, that Aloiai signing is not far off being in the Nate Myles basket.

AFB for Aloiai
Api/Fainu for Croker

Those two moves alone cost us about 5 years, maybe more, in terms of building a premiership squad.

Fainu let us down big time, we couldn't hold onto both. If only we had a crystal ball back then.

It certainly is time for TP. Last year he did 1393 post contact meters which was right up there with the top mids BUT only 5 offloads in 23 games. We desperately need 2nd phase play. Clearly if you doing so many post contact meters the opposition is finding it difficult to handle you then why isn't there way more offloads. It's the one point in his game that we need huge improvement. Imagine him giving offloads to DCE, Brooks, Tom, Koula.

Have a look at the massive drop off in Aloha's stats when he joined Manly. Been another poor recruitment decision.
