taka

People are bagging out taka (Both on this site and at the pub) saying he is old and slow and giving me grief (i am wearing my eels jersey and live in Newcastle. ..lol).I honestly don't know a lot about him but have been overly impressed in his abilities and attitude this year for parra.He may not be exceptional, but he does seem to do all the little things correctly, something parra has lacked over the last few years. Can someone explain why people are bagging taka so heavily?

  • I am not bagging Taka as I think he is a good player, though I did say he looked under done and probably needed another week as today he was caught out a few times and looked really slow in defence.

    • Yep totally agree doesn't look to have 6th gear today but still did solid
  • Certainly not old at 25. Had his worst game with the Eels today. Possibly came back too soon. Mr Fong says he is too slow for centre but I disagree. 

  • My mate played with him at the jets and said he is a great underrated player and that he was an excellent buy, as said above its his first game back so he wasn't going to be brilliant
  • He was average today, was caught out in d a couple of times. I would put that down to injury and the fact he has been out for a few weeks and maybe not 100%. Before he was injured I thought he was going great.

  • Could be the injury, but he was shit slow today, he was out paced by Houston and got caught out for another try.
    That aside, he is an excellent center who knows how to get his winger away.
    • Yep not ideal when a bloke with grey hair beats you!
  • I thought he did alright considering it's his first game back from injury. I'm sure he'll be better next week

  • i am a big fan, a one legged Taka is better then a fully fit Morgan.
  • Hes definitely talented when fit. His in and away on lyon in round one was sublime and Lyon is one of the best defensive centres in the comp

"Some players need to get sacked from a club and risk losing it all before they really knuckle down and put in the work.  Why did he get sacked, was it lack of discipline for footy and training or off field issues?"
