RTS - What de we think

[Darkone]

Has any league team ever had a former Junior All Black Captain & a current All Black together in a season?

[Vasco]

He didn't make a mistake or embarrass himself,so i'm satisfied..

He worked harder,& was waaaaay more alert & interested than Moga,who was more experienced..

Mate how lazy is Moga.

His attempt at ankle tap (on Mead?) was embarrassing.

I heard Guerra giving it to him (Moga) big time!!! And rightly so... standing watching 2 men struggle to finish a tackle...Guerra gave it to him telling him tog et into the tackle .. dont just watch...expletives added!! Was pissed big time with him!!

and rightly so. He has talent Moga.. but the heart, willingness or determination is not there yet

Guerra is on the opposite end of the spectrum. One of the very few players this season having a real go with the skill to back it up

Someone needs to put some mongrel in Moga, seems to me like he's to shy... Get some aggression into he's game and he will be a beast he runs and defends like he don't wanna hurt anyOne if he starts to run the ball like he wants to run over/through them he will they struggle tackling him now and he looks like hes not even trying and dance up to the defence...

I seen enough of RTS for him to be in 1st grade the rest of the year, I think he looked like he had played 1st grade for years in attack especially he took the ball up hard broke a few tackles once he even looked like he was away only jus hang onto him.. He's footwork is insane he doesn't even have to slowdown at all to pull off that step fooled them every time, and was safe under the highball looked like he handled it well didn't look nervous at all, we need to keep this kid forever hes gonna be something special once he totally understands the game he only 19 in he's first year of league he looks more impressive then Moga and I think Moga has done well considering the circumstances...

RTS......the one bright light from a very dark night.

I like what I saw.

Cordner and Guerra were good.

Agree. But how sad that these young guys are leading the way?

Just watched the game for the first time this morning and I was very impressed with RTS. Not just with the ball in hand but defensively too. Early on when we were defending our line and Prince put a grubber in I watched him read it beautifully and clean it up with one of his first touches of the ball. The Tits had a 2 man overlap if they spun it but RTS was holding on 2 of them nicely which made Prince put the grubber through. The sign of a kid with a good footy brain.

Which brings me to Moga. This kid has zero footy brain at the moment I'm afraid, and the sad thing is that I don't think you can develop one. You either have it or you don't. There's no doubt he can do some good things with the ball in hand but some of his decision making worries me tremendously. Maybe he is a bit dis-interested because he can't get quality pill and the side is going up to shite, I don't know, but I do know that RTS showed me more in 1 game than Moga has shown me in 9 or 10.

RTS must be our starting fullback next season, just watch the highlights of Barba and Bowen from last night for examples on why.

I would've been PML if i wasn't tying the noose after i saw that..If you did that in H Grade you'd get hooked..Yet Moga pulls it out in Firsts..

Mate have a look at the early no try to the Titans where Mead was chasing the kick & ran straight past Moga..The kid was that disinterested he looked asleep..

He needs to start doing the 1%ers..Diving on loose balls (even if the ball seems dead,PLAY TO THE WHISTLE TAU TAU) just doesn't seem to enter his head..

His defensive reads are very poor,but it's a part of the game Guerra is struggling with too,so it's not all his fault we leak like a tap on their side..

I was hoping i'd be more impressed with Moga after his first 10 or so games than i am..

He is undoubtedly a massive ball running talent,but he needs to realise their is more to being a champion footy player than just looking good with the pill..

RTS is going to be one of the greats.I hope.

Exactly what i was thinking.

Barba carved up last night, my only wish for Bowen is that he gets back to his support play with the forwards more like he did in the past. These days he is more focused on ball playing instead of support play.
