Mick, I rated Tui, and watched him in reggies. His size was something we could have used....and he was inexperienced back then, but he has become an NRL player, albeit bench.
yes brissy Bellamy did have those great players but he actually brought them to the storm before they were great players so get your facts right before having a go at someone else for their opinion.
Might just be worth checking your facts too Shaneo. What year did each of those players start at the Storm vs the coach? What influence did he have in bringing them there?
"You think Penisini can be a poor man's Brian To'o Pops very similarly built both very strong ball carriers and run hard a given for wingers these days.
You think if he could be something like the mentioned ?"
"His carries are soft and indeed the hit and spin he does are not inspriring.
But he was crucial for us in defence. Tackled everything and covered so well for Moretti, Taulagi etc...who were missing tackles.
