Tetevano's 'tackle' was awful and I'd have no issue with a 6 or 8 match ban. He's exceptionally lucky not to have caused Hurrell a serious injury.

Just on Oledzki, its time to stop giving him a free pass. We're short on props and he's an England international. He needs to step up and lead the props and not for the first time he failed to make any impact with the ball. Like it or not that's half of his job.

Watched the Tet Hit again, thanks For posting. Think 4 games would be reasonable. Just very poor timing and technique.
We all know he’s getting 8 though!

Think there's a balance to be had in the assessment of Oledski because he's the only prop that has done anything all year and back end of last. If they don't recruit well there they're in danger of ruining his potential.

One of the few pluses from the game was I thought Walters had a decent game.He tackled well and drove the ball up strong.

Thats not poor timing or technique, thats a deliberate jump, shoulder into head, its malicious and intentional. If that was committed on one of our players especially from a player with previous form i would be disappointed with anything less than 8 games. I hope thats the last we see if him, quicker we get shut the better. Before anyone says we need him as we are short of props, no good when he’s banned half the time and when he played he offers nothing, waste of space

Apart from too much, what do we think he's being paid to make 50meters a game 150-200k?

The carry he made where he caught the shoulder off the kick off he just turned his back and made no attempt to dominate the collision. He's a bloody awful player.

Completely agree, I wish it had been timing or technique but it was just madness. The game was already lost, the ball had gone, so it was just a dense late hit, off the ball. If he had put his shoulder lower into Walmsley when he had the ball the game may have been a bit different.

Totally reckless.

I reckon it will be approx £180-£200k, given suspended for 50% of the time, it’s a terrible signing.

I had a lot of hope for Tetavano when he signed but he has got worse every week.
I doubt he will go back to the NRL unless he can get a better deal.
He still gets paid whilst sat in the stand.
Maybe we can get rid on the basis we bought faulty goods and he doesn`t do what it says on the tin.
