Debutants

Didn’t get to see the game last night against the storm. How did Oregan Kaufusi go?? Did Stone play if so, how did he go??

  • Stone only played about 15 minutes at the end. Very early days, but he seems only a depth player at best unfortunately. I think he might be one of those players who looked great in underage footy, but might struggle at the next level. He seems to be a bit of a tweener, not big enough to play as a middle, not athletic enough to play on an edge and not skilled enough as a dummy half.

    Kaufusi was OK, too early to make a judgement on him either. I don't think he is going to be as good as Niukore though.

  • Very early to say on either player as they were only on a very short time and the game itself was strange at best. In think they both have great potential but just pack the experience. Hopefully both players will get more opportunities.

  • Think they both are not yet ready Oregon needs to get bigger Stone does not look near being a dummy half

    • Stone is actually a back rower, not a dummy half.
    • Stone came from the Tigers jnr system, came here a couple of years ago most tigers fans response was Oh well too small for first grade anyways.
  • Don’t think stone will make it hope I’m wrong Oregon should be there Some time next year

    • Cameron Smith or Cook wouldn't have done anything for us playing alongside 5 rookies & a forward pack missing 7 starters & bench players - Alvaro,Evans,Ma'au,T-Rex,Mannah,Scott&Edwards. We played with our 4th & 5th choice hookers last night.

  • Stone looked energetic, but again, lacks size. What is it with this Club breeding small forwards?

    • Stone might be too small for lock/2nd row, but he's young & will pack on some extra muscle over time.

      Maybe that's why we're trying to mould him into a dummy-half?

      Oregon will eventually be a beast. He already was in his age group & destroyed QLD in the Under 20's State of "OREGON" ;)

      • I don’t think it’s a muscle thing with Stone, he already looks pretty well developed physically, he’s just a small frame. I think if he is going to have a future he might have to model himself on someone like Jamie Buhrer.
