Tanginoa = Moeroa

Posted by Robert Lloyd on July 26, 2014 at 10:53am

I don`t know the history of Kelepi Tanginoa for this year other than he made very few appearances. Has he been injured or has there been off the field issues? It will be a tragedy if KT is lost to the Eels for any reason. His potential was/is way better than T Moeroa who is a most excellent prospect. Could it be that Kelepi was put into NRL way before his time? He was not ready for that experience? If so we are heading for the same result with T Moeroa. he is too young at 18 to spend week after week in NRL. We have no chance of making the eight so don`t destroy him in NRL anymore this year. I hope Kelepi stays with the Eels and that the story is all bunk

Robert the difference is Moeroa is a big boned lump of a kid a different build of KT and possibly less injury prone

I think Moeroa has slightly more potential than Kelepi. He's just as powerful, has better size, better lateral movement, is more aggressive and has a better tackling technique.

Rubbish. Moeroa is a freakish athlete as impressive at this age as sonny bill Williams. He'll be the best forward in the game in a few years

  You know a lot about rubbish. Did you see Moeroa get the back of his head smashed into the ground by Bird tonight? That does wonders to the brain of an 18 year old. Remember, one swallow never did make a summer.

I think Kelepi needs to focus less on lifting heavy things - trying to build the biggest muscles possible seems to be a primary focus.
