Has had the odd good game with some big hits but overall pace wise and defensively has been caught out and had a few big Injuries. I know his young buy feel we might have seen him at his best. He went home for family reasons and was prepared to play reserve grade so a super League even Hull move is unlikely

I have lost interest:fonds blancs/Sid.gif



I watched him play v storm about 5-6 weeks ago
He played the full game
He caused them defensive problems particularly in the last 15 mins
He’s bulked up more and looked to be a bit overweight but but but
He played the full 80 and was a handful in a much fitter game over here in Aus

I’d have him back in a heartbeat
He is a game changer !!!
I credit him with a major part of the CC success

Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "Speedy wingers just aren't that valuable any more. Power beats pace every time in the modern game imo.'"


Agreed. It's not very often you see a winger have a clean break and race down the line any more, gone are the days of the Calderwood type wingers. It's taken Regan Grace a few seasons to gain the power to match his pace. Fetuli was a great winger for us and was never the fastest.

We’re you not there last Friday Ratu clean break from 5 yards.

I wasn't, no. I've moved to Bristol a few years ago and don't get to many games now, unfortunately.

I have seen Ratu's try from 5 yards, but it's the first time he's done it. Hopefully he'll carry that on.

It's obviously great to have pace, but you rarely see wingers race down the touchline now. It's more usual that, as with the case of Ratu, wingers bust tackles mid field which you need power to do. Wingers can't rely purely on pace anymore.
