I thought he looked quite good for a player that hasn`t been through any pre season games. He will be a real threat when he gets up to speed. lulia looking good also.

going to be a difficult decision at year end which of sammut or manuokafoa we keep at end of yea rif they boh continue to improve. would imagine whichever we have to let go will be snapped up by another SL club an come back to haunt us.

Effectively his first match for about six months, so I was massively impressed

Didn't hide, got stuck in and looks like a very good acquisition

Needs to sort out his ball security. Lost the ball three times in the tackle at crucial times.

I only saw him lose it twice and one of those was a ball rip which the ref missed. It was a very solid debut and he will only improve with more game time.

Yep. If Manuokafoa builds on that, and Sammut keeps impressing then it will be a bloody tough decision!

Impressed, can't wait till he really finds his feet. Has an impressive offload

is it definitely a choice between one or the other? I haven't seen Nas play yet but Sammut has been a breath of fresh air this year.

yes, unless we release one off the other overseas players who are all on longer deals. sammut has a dispensation for this year only. after that we only have one non fed trained spot available so can only extend one of sammut/manuokafoa's contracts. Unless we suddenly remember to announce an option for further years on sammuts initial deal, hence extending his dispensation

With Gale & Briggs available next yeat it's going to be a tough decision.

Ask the over-rated turnstile that is Kearney to go to Widness / Wakey ?
