There's another Fijian winger who used to play Rugby League playing for Bristol Bears who's pretty handy

This bloke has just been signed by Bristol too,to play wing outside Semi in centres .
John Boyle > the EggmanNovember 27, 2020 at 8:23am
Has anyone seen Semi play in the Centres ?
I thought he played quite well when filling in at fullback during a game some years ago.

If we can't afford a major signing, how could we afford Semi?
John Boyle > Electric EelNovember 27, 2020 at 8:44am
Sorry Electric I wasn't putting his name forward as a replacement.
I was more after a bit of feedback on Semi if he had been experimented in different positions.
Brett Allen > John BoyleNovember 27, 2020 at 8:46am
He basically plays outside centre in Rugby, but defences aren't up to NRL standard
Brett Allen > the EggmanNovember 27, 2020 at 8:38am
That is the problem with signing Fijians, eventually they all want to go back to Rugby

That's alright though Brett maximise them while we have them and if they leave go back to the vine trust me there's lots of them screaming out for an opportunity.

Fair enough, but it is heartbreaking to see these incredible athletes who should be destroying the NRL getting fat of soft English rugby club defences
I really don't understand why we aren't up in the islands checking out village 7s tournaments I can attest personally guys like this are running round in Fiji dime a dozen.
"Dragons have about 45 more Amones coming through who are talented. As long as they can keep Talatau(Dahl) away from the club , they'll do very well. For every Lomax, the Illawarra has 10 more just like him waiting for their shot. "
"The reason that local juniors are important is you'll usually get a season or two with them on a pittance allowing you to heavily invest elsewhere and " front load " that season into a premiership tilt.
if they're good young kids then you'd be…"
"I also like the fact he's not comfortable getting great money and losing every week. He seems to have drive to be a winner and progress his career. He could take 800k and bludge on the wing if he wished. "
