Also he was 23 when he came over not 16!'"
I don’t get the love-in for Inglis. He’s 34 and not played for 2 years. If we’d have signed him a lot on here would have had plenty to say about it.
Also, who said Carlos was 16? The comment was he played at 1 and 6.'"
Agree with you re Inglis Mike.
Inglis there is no questioning his talent but he is now 34 and has not played in 2 years as he retired, so whether he can replicate his previous levels of performance is questionable its a very small list of players who can rediscover previous form when coming back out of retirement with many simply calling it a day again. As for Reynolds not playing its a completely different situation as he was still training and playing reserve grade only being kept out the 17 due to the coach preferring Marshall who was playing well so the two situations are nothing like each other.
To be quite honest I'm not that wowed by Naigama either as playing in the St's side they have I thought he would have been much more prolific and whilst Tupou is a good centre I think both Carlos & Griffin are better than him. Percival and Gildart are as has been said are probably the 2 best centres though Percival to be fair has had a bad year injury wise, other than those two there anent many others Id have in front of Carlos or Griffin to be honest.
