I have seen him play one decent 2nd half against the Panthers in rd 5 in 2007, which I'll admit he carved up. Then in the Dreamteam v Maoris last year he did nothing, this was his time to shine. I only saw him in the 73rd min give away a stupid penatly.
Adios Wellar.
We will see in the near future whether or not he has the pride and professionalism to win a top 17 position or he will end up playing for wenty for the next year.
To me, Zeb Taia may not be as talented as weller but is much more determined and consistent and has earned himself a cosy role at the knights.
It is great that DA has so many options at the moment. No spot in the team is guaranteed except hindy,hayne & caylo. This keeps all the players on their toes and highly motivated.
That said, I agree with others who find him to be lazy and a poor defender. Even when Inu was being accused of laziness, one could see that he had the technique to defend stoutly, whereas, I've never seen such a quality in Weller.
Talent just doesn't go away, it just needs the right environment to bring it out. I'm the first to admit that Weller has been a major dissapointment but DA's getting results out of less talented players and I think Weller will go into next year knowing his future is on the line and that he needs to bring it, if he's to play in the NRL beyond next year.
We shall see!
i hope he proves me wrong, with his ball skills all he needs is Hindy's motor, or at least 75% of it! I don't think he will, he has had ample opportunities and time but just doesn't want to step up. The same with Junior Paulo.
Both these guys seem to not hate losing enough to make it with the big boys!!
I think Johno is right, this guy is made for NSW cup. There he doesn't have to commit himself too hard and the level of footy is obviously a lot easier. I don't believe this guy actually wants to play NRL and I would never, ever pick him again. In fact I'd rather play one short.
