The Takairangi back row experiment is a total failure as he offers very little in attack, and is extremely lazy in defense.

Taka continually gets left behind at marker and noticeably walks when the play goes past him. He was responsible for that dragons try as he failed to fill the hole back on the inside and was hands on hips. Also has a very low workrate. Should be dropped.

In saying that im liking Marata Nikuore. Has plenty of leg speed and size.  Will be a good project player

  • Hayne has zero impact zero interest
    • Bullshit Hayne has been great !!!

      doing all that’s required !!!!

    • Story of my life went early .
      • Haha thought the same as Carlo... was just about to reply  he is having a go exactly when he scored the too strong too committed try , so I thought you’d see for yourself and I deleted ;)

        Carlo is 100% correct of course.

    • Cant argue with two intelligent ladies . He did play better as fans went on . Not vintage Hayne but solid nrl centre Hayne
  • Taka shouldn'tbe in the 17 all together. I don't understand the fascination of having him in the second row 

  • Seriously I don’t get you mate. He’s going ok tonight. What’s his problem?

    • Just watch him lay down after he makes a tackle, or walk back to his position when the ball goes past him

      Doesn't have the motor 

      • Stats wise he was on par or out performed Nuikore or even Brown.

        Not sure who is a better option...

  • Correct. He is a centre. But we don’t have any secondrowers
