Quote John Gilbert Reds="John Gilbert Reds"Bored of people claiming Mario is Barker. Give it a rest.
I also agree with everything Mario says, giving Sa'u a two-year extension is stupid decision. Just because he tweets and slaps everyones hand after a home game, doesn't warrant a place in a top 8 Super League team. He would have been ideal back in the dominate Bradford days when big bulldozing centres were the order of the day, but today you need to be quick, agile with great hands - everything Junior unfortunately isn't.'"
I actually think Sau is the victim of IH coaching rather than being a poor centre.
I provided stats on another thread on assists for last season and this. Sau was our second highest assist/try-maker in 2014 behind Chase who was massively ahead of everyone. Now, to me it seems odd that a player who is the teams second highest on assists seems to be targeted for being a one trick pony who never offloads. Admittedly, this season he's way down on that, but, so is everyone else. Considerably.
For me our game plans and tactics seem to be aimed towards using everyone except Chase as a battering ram. We've got really fast wing options yet they rarely see open-play ball. Why? Gameplan.
I'd put money on Sau being twice the player he is under different coaching.
