You don't go to games do you?

Exactly what I thought when I saw that comment. Tautai is no better than what we have. As somebody mentioned, no quota spot available anyway.

Tautai is definately no better than what we already have, and even if a quota spot was available, would be a waste of one for me.

I highly rate England, not a show pony, but puts a real shift in week in, week out, despite the knocks he picks up.

Having said that in the first paragraph, I think Hirst has gone ok, but would like to think we could improve a bit on there, and i feel that Huby struggled a bit since he came back from injury. Hopefully a good pre season behind him, and we could have the 2017 version of Huby

What a pointless non thread

Re: Tautai : Fri Oct 19, 2018 10:31 am  

Huby did struggle last year and isn't getting any younger. I'd like to see a quality addition to the front row options but would hold on to the current rota. Hirst does a decent enough job but isn't first choice option for me.

Re: Tautai : Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:24 am  

What he offers most is his biggest weakness. He will give his absolute all, but in doing so tries too hard and makes repeated errors. Forwards are all about the guaranteed error-free hard work. Solomona could be a bit error-prone, knocking on in dangerous positions due to unwise off-loads, but his excellence made up for it. With Tautai, you have the errors without the excellence.

As for Wigan's home-grown production line, their starting 17 for the Grand Final included two French blokes, two products of the London academy, a Welsh bloke, a product of the Saints academy, a product of the Bradford academy, and a Kiwi. Their home-grown production line in the backs is unlikely to feature in the internationals. George Williams possibly, who last year was one day from signing for Warrington.

It's not all rosy.

Huby's injury did knock him back a bit he can still contribute massively. Big plus when he's out on the pitch IMHO. Ditto England who started the season off with probably his best career form and never really tailed off too much. Would put Tautai in front of Hirst but, as said earlier, not at the expense of a quota spot.

Hopefully Huby recovers fully over the break. The offload game was still there just struggled for fitness and impact compared to 2017 when we were getting a big lift when he came on.
