        How big is he JFC? Physique wise who would you compare him to?
        He's 6ft and 100kgs mate so just right I think for a backrower...power with some mobility...looks a little like Andy lomu?

          I want Aubo in the starting side. Hopefully when Jake returns he will start.
          I struggle to get excited by Isaac L.

              I'm really looking forward to seeing Sia Sua. I love an injection of new blood out of nowhere to start the season. Especially when our team is this good... you know he'll be a gun having squeezed into the 17.

                Indeed.

                He could be a bit of X factor for us off the bench. Hopefully Maubs will be in the starting line up when Jake returns though.

                    For what its worth and not just cause I'm a roosters supporter, i think we will win comfortably.

                    Our forward pack is far more distinguished and assured in defence and both guerra and cordner are noted tryscorers on the edges. I like our bench although i think robbo would be tempted to start Evans or Napa and have Moa off the bench towards the middle of the first half. I like us having a bench of 2 noted props, a backrower and a utility player. Three props has always been overrated and a bit of an overkill. I think robbo rates Taukeiaho highly and had he not been injured last season he certainly would have played a part.

                    Our backline looks far better than theirs (apart from thurston). Our centre pairing might be the best we have had in years. Our wingers look good also. Excited to see skd on the wing. I think we will get the best out of him there. Expect a lot of high kicks to the wings in attack.

                    If we can hold them out defensively then we will get a job done. The cowboys defence has never been anything special in past years.

                      I can't see it happening unless Robbo decides to go with Guerra at lock. Lock is basically played by the most mobile prop in your rotation these days, and I'd expect to see Liu stay there. If he isn't working out, then either Napa or Taukeiaho would be next most likely. Aubbo is very valuable off the bench, as he can play as both hooker or as a backrower. It gives you the best of both worlds, especially if your hooker is capable of playing 80 min.

                        Agree with this also Maubs covers the centres if needed.

                        He is the best utility in the game by a long way, we are very lucky as a club to have him.

                        He would kill it off the bench in Origin IMO, been saying it for years, but I doubt he'd get a look in.

                        The way the game is played now his value is off the bench.
