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 should be proud of winning the 2026 Witzer Pre-season Challenge. The last three years haven't been easy. Gus Gould says trial results mean nothing. What matters is physicality, fitness and energy within systems. The Eels passed that.

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.
