Thanks for the feedback, good to hear a view from someone closer to what’s happened over there and what he’s capable of.

So as long as Newman gets decent ball to him near the line he should be ok.
My impression was we had bought a speedster on the wing but that doesn`t seem to be the case.
I`m sure he will be better than either of the Briscoes though.

He reminds me of Hardaker in his running style, deceptively quick and elusive.

He gives us the athletic finisher we've needed out wide for a long time. Hopefully, he is able to do the donkey work and make big metres coming away from our line.

Re the point about speed. It's all relative. Not the fastest in the NRL might well equate to easily the fastest at Leeds. One thing is sure though - he can score tries. Feed the FUS and he will score!

Thanks for the background. really good read that and looking forward to seeing the big man in action.

Although from what`s been said he doesn`t like the donkey work coming away from the line.
He does sound like another Ryan Hall type player though which can`t be too bad.

Think you just contradicted yourself .

and it effects his game.

Haha you might be right.
What I was meaning was in reply to Jack Burton who said let`s hope he can take it in from the line and do the hard yards.
However a NZ Warriors fan said he doesn`t like doing that.
But maybe we will get a Ryan Hall type player and will be expected to do all that and finish well 10 metres out.
Don`t think my latest explanation has helped at all mate!

We’ll have a good kicking game on his side of the field next year, Martin has good pace for a back row and Newman is… Newman. He will certainly need to get his passing game sorted otherwise that’s a heck of a waste of talent outside him.

You’d have to be happy with that set for a RHS combination in a Super League side though.

It’s nice that Leeds can really play both sides too - in fact our right has more strike than our left now.

He didn't seem to mind doing his share when that was not the only reason the Warriors were using him. It became more of an issue when it became apparent that the Warriors outside backs were no longer capable of using him as a try scorer, that was when his game slipped.
The Warriors used a formulaic big Winger kick return start to all sets, Ken Maumalo was their other big winger, he is enormous. Those two, Fusitua and Maumalo, would carry the Props work, it has been that way at the Warriors going back a decade through the Vatuvei era...big Winger plays like a prop.

David has twinkle toes, he is a horse that needs to run, he just needs to get back to try scoring, you cannot stop him when he gets on a roll, a happy David is a nightmare to mark in the red zone. Once he locks onto that corner flag it is game over.

Great great insight

His Tongan appearances seem to be poles apart from his recent Warriors efforts too.
Let us hope that we can keep him happy, seems to be down to managment from the outside looking in
