SEMI's ERROR

After Round 1, I was awestruck by the power and speed of this bloke, and I still am to a degree.

But last night was a harsh reminder of his other side. We all saw it. Jarryd saw it. And all our reactions were the same. I wanted to strangle him: "Why you little......"

Semi will continue to make some shocking mistakes. He'll be tested alot under the high ball and he'll fail many times, especially against the better teams that exploit his weaknesses. He'll lose the ball at crucial times.  Truly rocks and diamonds.

Are we better off to drop Semi back to reserves while he fine tunes the finer aspects of his game? Or do we persist with him in the hope there are more diamonds than rocks?

  • I say keep him in first grade. That's where you pay to  learn and the price is embarrassing errors. 

  • Its a very fine line ih8 Manly.
    In my opinion we should persevere with Semi on he's try scoring and tackle breaking ability alone.

    However we cannot cover for two inexperienced wingers.

    So it's TATA Toutai- Hello Hunt.
  • long term I see him turning into a center
  • He's scored 4 tries in 2 games. I'd say Toutai's position is under a little more pressure at the moment.

  • Yeah it was one error, it happens to the best players, but some more than others,
  • keep him hes our top point scorer with him the cocks would of beat us 56to 0 with him
