This bloke has great potential, unfortunately at the Eels, the coaching used him as a mindless battering ram. Hopefully the great coach that is Bellamy, will have him realise his real value as a wide player with great attacking potential.,
That's actually not the truth, it was Tepai himself who wanted to move into the middle to claim Anthony Watmough's spot after he retired. I specifically remember his presser saying that he saw himself as a middle, not an edge. BA agreed to it because as great as Tep was running great lines as an edge forward, his edge defence was poor. He frequently overcommitted to chasing ball runners into the middle third, instead of staying out on his edge.
Furthermore, he ran great lines as an edge, but he had zero passing skills. He turned himself into a battering ram.
"We have 10 out and Fletcher (doesn't really count because he was never a FG option). Keeping in mind that Russel and Tuilagi were unavailable last game. Smith coudlnt finish the last game either. Fox, Paulo and Moses playing injured. Pensini and…"
"Penisini is bog average at present he is worse then Russell now. I think the high ups at Parra thought because he is best mates with Joseph Sua'ali'i that he has the same talent lol. Further he is and always was a Rugby convert .... for a centre…"
"Interesting read, I felt we fought hard scrambled really well, as you say weight of possession killed us. Are their any stat experts that can point to what tackle and what position on the field we concede 6 agains compared to where we receive them.…"
"Blue Eel, I think neither Broncos or Warriors have lost players right across the park like the Eels have? Broncos missing some forwards but kep most abcks (Walsh aside)? Warriors losing halves but had replacement halves and were able to move CNK…"

Dead set right My Bob, Tepai is still only 25 and should thrive under a smart coach. His wide running was absolutely murdered at Parra.
Wide running? That would explain why Melbourne have signed him as a middle forward then...
Oh ok iamnot, so you have a direct line to Bellamy, er sure ok.
