I think he created a few half breaks tonight had no one with him.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑March 22, 2024, 8:06 pm I'm thinking the same about Rapana. Been a great player for us and love his efforts but I think the game is too fast for him as a FB and he's not fast enough as a winger.
We need players that can capitalise on the half breaks

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
And to be clear, neither did Starling. Or Cotric, Savage, or Hopoate. Rapa was all effort as always and a solid contributor, but tonight was the first time that I found myself thinking his time is up. Can't push off players as much anymore and just no pace. I’ve thought Rapa’s time has been close t...

Re: 2023 Finals Week 1 v Knights: Game Day
Good effort from the young lads.
Genuinely looking forward to the next few years with the young spine locked in and some of these back rowers about to break through.
Next year might be a bit of a learning curve but 25 onwards I think the club is looking good and fresh move forward.

He is right though, we looked incredibly flat today. Wighton, Young and Horsburgh, two on the cusp of Origin selection but all 3 were invisible today. Kris out of position again. I could name other players who didn't turn up but it's most of them. Again we have no plays. We look dreadful in the att...

Honestly the best game he has played in a few years Agreed.

We're on the right side of the draw, absolutely.

Many fullbacks might have taken the tackle there. A...
