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.
"So the solution is control the ruck and line speed? Pretty hard to do when the referee is waving his hands in the air like he just don't care. Improvement for us needs to come from better 1st contact. We haven't been great in this area, particularly…"
"Their line speed narrative is a myth. When you are at the game they are offside every single play but they don't get called whereas every other team does"
"Terrific blog HOE. Love the stats.
i believe we haven't got the muscle up from to start games well. We are dominated up the middle for the first 25 minutes and always on the back foot. We come into our own once fatigue sets in and have the speed and…"
"Thanks Mutts, I did. But it was only after looking at the patterns and zones in Foxs' match graphs over the last few weeks. Then, I heard Reni Matua mention "death zones" to Braith Anasta in their podcast, and it all crystalized.
I believe the term…"

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.
