    He said himself that his best position is right side second row.

      Radley’s passing game a thing of the past. It was great in the Cronk era . His passing to Keary or vice versa is slow motion as well as his no look pass.
      I sensed we wouldn’t miss Radley against the Merge. Walker didn’t seem to miss him.

        What someone says and what someone is good at, well are two different things!

          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.
            I haven't looked at his technique much but yeah... I wouldn't say speed is his thing. Young on the other hand (who's signed with us long-term, probably on less money!!!)

              I prefer him playing in the middle third.

                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.

                  yea I’m not surprised his name is mentioned before young and young is not eligible? If he was able to be selected he would be in front of suaali but he is a Pom
                  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 grade

                      Let’s watch the highlights from the bulldogs game, excellent example of how he executes all those skills. Suaalii will likely make origin as a winger. 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.

                        And Young, who is not eligible for Origin, is an English international. So what’s your point?

                          Let's see if the English selectors pick Suaalii over Young. I bet that doesn't happen, so negating your point.

                            Young played 20 min of the game and didn’t play well but everyone has a bad game
                            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

                                The point is pretty obvious, getting selected for NSW is a level above getting selected for the English team. Additionally Young has been poor so far,
