One thing how good is he to commanding positional play directing players has got the confidence to tell his players what he wants them to do and where to put them selves, this is what our club needs a leader on the field to direct his commands, if we get this I sure we are going to upset a few clubs again thinking that we are easy meat'"
Pita is a traditional halfback , so he takes on the line , plays at the line , brings people to the line.
He plays the tradition pivot link Half back role. As Such his style is to do the directing (Pita is the on field director of that Vulcans team....that side struggles without him they got behind the eight ball while Pita was in the top side and crashed way down the ladder , they made the lower eight when he returned ).
Forwards who can play direct and run hard are Pita's bread and butter ( you saw that when the Samoan team woke up against the kiwis for twenty minutes the style of Rugby league is direct and fast before going wide ).
That was what happened in our NRL campaign this year Pita impact Bench Hooker / Johnson Half back. Those two had an initial honeymoon period where Pita was the surprise Xfactor player that caught a lot of NRL teams out when the Tempo changed up a couple of gears once he hit the field and he switched the team to a direct Game.
In those debut 2013 Games by Pita, other players would start scoring Try's and catch up , people were calling for him to get more on field time or be given a go in the no7 and to Shift Johnson to Stand off.
Pita took more and more of a lead from the bench , the Warriors were tearing themselves apart as far as their Campaign and relations with Matt Elliot were going at the time.
Godinet and Johnson didn't pair up well when Godinet was dummy half due to both calling and a complete clash of Styles ( Johnson drifts side ways ).
Those differing Styles compliment each other well for all the good sides , you're never going to find out if you drop one guy after two games where their communication is having some glitches.
It is no shock to us Warrior fans that Pita is gone. He is the player that Rugby League needs to find out what's written in his stars....the bloke has been very very good in a reserve grade comp which means nothing at the end of the day.
He has gone great guns , played his best football when facing quality teams at that higher level he's thrived.
his story in the NRL is a Footballers tragedy in a way , wrong club to try to launch your career from.
