Definitely has talent and I agree with those that are saying that his game is still very loose - we have been lucky so far that his dropped balls and fumbles havent cost us - dived on by teammates, gone backwards, fallen into teammates hands (e.g. maloney on the weekend). That said, imo Moga at full tilt will be a walk-up start ahead of toops

Originally posted by justjuice1992:304443Dunno what everyone is complaining about. He did nothing wrong against Cowboys except drop one kick that should've been an easy catch. He saved 1 or 2 trys. He has shown he has speed by keeping up with Jennings when he ran the field against Manly. He has shown power by breaking multiple tackles and dragging defenders. And he has shown what his height/long arms can do for him, diffuse dangerous situations like against Glenn Stewarts chip for Williams and although Tupou was behind Williams, still managed to punch the ball dead. If we had Perrett, Leilua or Dwarf on his wing we would've lost against Cowgirls.
Not to mention he's still growing and learning what he's capable of.
Yeah he might also make a couple of errors.. So does Uate.
*Jennings was at full speed probably for first 15m then casually made his way to the line
*Definatley is better in defence than moga
*Daniel seems to be in & out of games (stamina perhaps is the problem?)
*Every team knows that he is great under the high ball thats why they have blockers in place.. so he doesnt have that same effect as of yet.
He'll get there...
Future seems bright
1 . RTS
2 . DANIEL.T
3 . JENNINGS

Those of the Iwi Hauraki, Jordan Tansey, Vince Mellars, Steve Meredith, Brent Grose sort of mould.
Now ask yourself how you feel about having a big, strong, tall, quick young bloke on the wing named Daniel Tupou.
Doesn't really seem so bad does it.
The worst back 5 in history of the roosters

Originally posted by Jacks Fur Coat:304357Wait and reap the rewards...this kid could be very good...yet unleashed pace and power to burn...and the height and leap a bonus.
Needs to learn how to use his power
Has little moments where he actually busts the lines..
He needs to build stamina.. seems to be short breathed at times.. maybe that may be the reason for his errors.
Especially the drop.ball against cow girls

Moga won't be back this year unless there is a spate of injuries....his defence last year at times was appalling and needs to work on his attitude towards defending. when he returns for Newtown or 20s.....give Toops time. He as all the natural attributes size,speed although having such a high centre of gravity means he takes time winding up, some serious sprint training next off-season will improve his explosiveness. He is still learning the ropes and will come good.Originally posted by boogie

I'm not saying she's horrid, just not what I'd call a real good sort. But hey, everyone's different, so each to their own.
