Vave

[Frank]

I only saw Vave play once last year in NSW cup. He was far and away the best forward on the field having an impact with almost every carry. I assumed he just wasn't committed enough because for the life of me I couldn't understand why he wasn't getting a run in the NRL. Especially with the season we had and the number out injured.

his lateral defense has always been an issue, last year it was pretty bad in the few times I saw him.

Vave is building nicely into an NRL front rower.
But does he lower his head every time he hits the defence?
I've heard commentators saying that's what Burgess did wrong the other night, and I think Richie F also did the same thing when he broke his neck a few years back.
It seems to help him power through the first contact, hope he doesn't hurt his neck though!

He is very slow. Like he only seems to hit a damaging speed off kick offs when the defence is running from half way.

I'd like a guy that is sprinting at the line. Maybe that's AFB if he's allowed to play.

Babe is that BIG body we need that has a certain role...similar to the 2016 version of George Rose.

I see you are a really big fan Maxta, or is that a reference to an aussie movie from 20 years ago

I thought exactly the same thing watching him last night.
