Maurie Fa'asavalu : Fri Apr 10, 2009 1:22 am  

Superb tonight me thinks. Watching the replay and he was absolutely everywhere tonight. His defensive effort in the spell from 65-80 where we led by 6 was outstanding, and there was none of the hands on hips and panting for breath. His effort was oustanding and his fitness was impressive given how hard he'd worked. He also produced a few half breaks and a couple of killer offloads.

Top notch our Mo tonight. Even if his new look does bring him dangerously close to looking like the legend that is Toadie from Neighbours.

Yep
hes getting back to his best.

Saints are in great shape this year. Defence looks better than ever.

COME ON YOU SAINTS

Since the Leeds SL game he has picked up his form in each subsequent performance. Hopefully Baileys hit will have taught him a lesson that if he ambles the ball in he will be a sitting duck for the big hit.

Getting back to the Maurie we know and love and running the ball in properly.

I agree he's much improving, however, some of is tackles are borderline high. He'll give penalties away if he doesn't bring his arm a little lower.

He's improving every week and should be hitting top form soon, he just needs to cut out the penalties.

his return to form is just at the rght time with cayless seemingly out for a while.

With Eastmond back, Wilkin can move to second-row and Puletua to front row to cover Cayless so there isn't as much pressure on Fa'asavalu

I dont think eastmond is fully back yet, and tony is nuch more devastating in the 2nd row

His defence was excellent last night, his go forward was good too.

Defensively he is getting back to his best. His carries last night show hes not far from being on top of his game. Needs to cut out the penalties especially around the play the ball.
