i think robbo more implied than stated (or at least wanted to keep his cards close to his chest) that rads was going to play on the edge. his main point was that butch has been marked down to play off the bench. that said, walker's performance without rads as a ball playing middle suggests that the more walker has the ball in hand the better. that said, i think rads' best position is as a running middle with the ability to throw a good pass. butch was great but i see him as more of a middle. for mine our best edge players atm are gus and sitili with wong the bloke who will be a weapon in the years to some.

He always seems to be quite lethargic when it comes to pace, rather using strength over speed most of the time.
I do wonder if bulking up and becoming an edge forward makes more sense for him in the long run.

Disagree with this
young scored 25 tries last year
suaali offers hit ups only and odd catch with the high ball
where young provides the high ball and his out and out pace he will score many more tries then suaaali and set them up like he allready has
and young improved with his ball carries as well so glad to see he got this better in his time off
Manu also has got his defence better in the last few weeks so maybe robbo is viewing the chookpen
young made 222mtr from 18 hit ups. 7 tackle breaks and 3 line breaks v Dragons
that’s more tackle breaks and line breaks then suaali has made in his career

Young has flipper hands, can’t tackle, can’t make any yardage. Also the NSW selectors seem to think Suaalii is a better wing option than Young. Back three yardage has been a key element of our play for years. It will be interesting to see how this plays out for the rest of the year.
did young drop the ball or miss tackles on Thursday? He made 222mtr with 18 carries and will score Many more tries then Suaali to out and out pace
suaaali has consistently been found out in defence and offers nothing but a hard straight line in attack
i Have never seen him pass, step or fend someone and can’t break tackles
and the fact young is only on $500k but Suaali is on $750k so I’m very dissapointed with the lack of improvement apart from being physical
that was Suaali first try for the year by the way
and it was mentioned early on Suaali wasn’t in the 17 until b smith got injured otherwise he would have started the year in res gradeLast edited by Chook2; 04-28-2024, 02:00 PM.

I rate that assessment over yours and Chook2 i am afraid. But everyone is entitled to an opinion and it will be interesting to see how it plays out through the year.

Suaali has had poor games for 2 years at centre
again like others have said Young plays for England - if he was eligible for NSW he would be in front of suaali
and again Suaali has scored 1 try this year. Young made more tackle and line breaks v dragons then Suaali has done in a season
