I thought the same thing Fui. I heard a few days ago that Mahoney wont be ready and now BA is saying he will be. If he is then I would be worried about his fitness. He wont be 80min ready so do we go with Stoney on the bench or the switch with Gutho filling in during the middle of the game. Also who replaces Browny? I hope its not Terepo.
Terepo is not a ball playing forward and in not like Brown at all, Gower would be the closest to Brown skill wise. I think Niukore starts with Gower on the bench.
Actually even though I agree his hands let him down sometimes Terepo does have the ability to play as a ball playing forward and before Brown came to the club often played that middle link role. It's quite strange actually Terepo seems to have quite good skills with his pass before the line but has really got a simple fumble in him.
Cant fault his effort however he has terrible hands. Often when coming off our own line. And as much as he runs hard I dont think he bends the line that much
Peni's handling has been quite good the last few years....
But serously - compare his error rate with the rest of our forwards and I think you will be surprised. He had a bad run once and got a rep that has dogged him since. You f one goat...
"Even if all that is true it is a good outcome that we didn't overextend ourselves. It's just as important to opt out on signing players who aren't a good fit for us. "
"Just like the Wayne Bennett deal to south's. If your going for big fish you've got to put the bait out there lure them in.
I suspect that's exactly what the Dogs did for Galvin and South's did for Bennett."

I can't recall Terepo being a ball player, my apologies to Mack if this is the case.
I noticed his handling improved when he actually looked to use the ball.

I mean, who is really going to be 80 minutes ready?

Exactly my thought. His handling is better than many other plauers. But it feels like he is stuck in 4th gear for a last few years.
