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.
"I loved how they managed their hookers yesterday, Smith starts, gets a break just after half time, TDS hits them in the 3/4 mark of the match and terrorises the ruck and tired defenders, Smith closes out the close games if we need it."
"TDS has several things to work on for me I'd start with his distribution I think he takes time off halves purely because he struggles to pass off the deck,he always takes a step before he passes.Defensively he needs work also.I just don't feel we…"
"I didn't have much time for him, but i've had my arse spanked and it's all credit to the kid. He is playing some very good footy. Hope he has a huge break out year for us."
"Da Silva against tiring defenders with 25 min left in a game is probably going to cause headaches. He's lightning fast. Riley is your 60-70 min hard working 9"

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.
