Let's just hope Tafua can improve his catching bombs and doesn't turn like the titanic.
I hope Jorge learns to be spatially aware. I can see Bozo letting Jorge go.
Yep I think Jorge has been shown the door
Anyone know what Wiliame's win / loss record is now including International Footy?
It's like 1 win, 20 something losses isn't it?
Poor bloke.
one of the most overused quotes going around, every year around origin you will hear the same thing about darius bennett(or boyd-whichever!) when most of the tries he scores in origin are catch,run a few meters & put the ball down. no wonder peter tunks says wingers a just people who hang around footballersJorge's hands have improved allot ! He is one of the best finishers in the game ! His running game is explosive ! We now have some depth in the backline !
Jorge will be gone. 100%.
I like the Wright and Williame go up aggressively for bombs, not just the eyes closed jump and wave an arm hoping to bat it off somewhere.
More important question now would be is Tom T a better centre? It will help his career physically if he is and that's quite a future pairing with Walker. Our shopping list would change to 5/8 and fullback although Api could play 5/8 so then it's fullback and forwards. Hmmmm...
He also had some very good reads in defence when he Bird and Barba early on sweeping plays that lost them some ground.Agree 100% Said it in another thread earlier. Tom was awesome last night. He is more involved at centre. He's dangerous and hard to handle there. I think it's his best position. If he could remain at centre and develop a combo with his winger, the tries would be very hard to stop for any opposition.
Just to clarify what I mean...at wing, Tom is safe, but against a good sliding defence he can run out of room and be shut down. At fullback, again he is very safe but high kicks with good kick chasers can nullify his impact in returning the ball. When he chimes into the backline from fullback he is dangerous, and this may happen more with a good 5/8. In both positions he is good in broken play.
At centre, he is in the attacking line and coming at you all day. It takes 2 or more defenders to shut him down, and those defenders are in two minds as to how to handle him. A bloke with his speed, strength, height and options inside and out would be a nightmare to defend against. I think he showed that last night.
