Uncertainty over the 21-year-old's NRL pathway and best position in rugby league has played a part in his rugby league exit.
This was is why. When garbage like Suli, Parker, M Wright are chosen ahead of him. No wonder he asked for a release.

The reason we let the kid go was because he was a Speed bump? Bloody hell then Thompson should be shot, Kelly drawn and quartered, parker hung and at least a few others just drowned....
Oh well the three past years has produced absolutely nothing and the next 3 will probably be the same.

If we actually had a decent defensive coach, his defensive issues would have been sorted out during this off-season. Give him 5 months with Toovey and he would end up being one of the best defensive centres in the game. Half of our squad cant tackle consistently for 80 mins at the moment.
And Baz was a connoisseur of defence!
Bstar are I would put that closer to 75% of the squad. Gees Api did a lot of tackles which we missed big time

Sorry, I can't agree with that.
The bloke came from rugby so clearly has a preference to not tackling. That's where he has gone back to. League is too hard for some blokes so best of luck to him.
A good defensive coach does not just magically make a player tackle all of a sudden. Blokes like Maloney and Lockyer could not tackle their whole careers.
Defence is attitude. If your heart isn't in putting your body on the line, then it just isn't.

So you wouldn't have Maloney or Lockyer in your team?
Defence is important, unquestionably. But if you have a player who scores 10 points and only allows in eight points with shoddy defence then you are on a winner.
Tackling in RL is not what it used to be. It's a rarity to see a one-on-one tackle these days which may explain why so many centres and wingers rush in to help their inside player in defence, and often fail to stop the ball. Forwards these days are disadvantaged tackling low. That's why we see more dancing than tackling.
No ... but it can give a pretty good indication of the sort of player and character you are ........

Zorba gone rogue. How do we now interpret Zorba article which started this thread, given we now know Wright is gone and probably has been for some time.
The identical coaches and mentoring haven't appeared to have hindered Fainu .....
Boy there are some numbnuts on here who think coaches have some sort of magical power ......
Tom Wright is not the first and won't be the last union convert to fail to make the grade in the hardest comp of the hardest game in the world ......
He has a wonderful talent with ball in hand, but I have always doubted whether he had the grit to become a complete footballer ....
I think Tom and the club have done the right thing .... and I hope he has a great future in union .... I would love to see him play 7's ..
