Totally agree. He has been solid this year but not hit the highs of 2019 where he was getting MOTM and the best forward on the field consecutive games.
The reason for this is not Tanginoa but he’s been forced into prop so that Pitts and Ashurst could play SR.
Massive ball dropped by the coaching team as can be seen tonight. We saw a number of performances from kalepi like that in 2019 all in the SR. Think that was his first start at SR this year and look what happens.
The negative will only be about his performances at prop which were only solid at best but again he is not a prop he is a SR who has been thrown in at prop.
I agree but negativity is the teams byword of life. The problem for me is yesterday wasn’t typical despite what people say. He isn’t consistent imo.
As I stated it’s his defence more than anything, he goes missing and the position he plays is irrelevant there.
He has everything it takes not just to be a Trinity star but a SL star. To do that those displays like yesterday’s need to be more in the one in three game ratio at the moment it’s one in ten.
My comments won’t be popular with some but overseas players have to be better than the rest, no point in having them if not. Same applies to Tupou, Miller and Fifita all of whom have been well bellow par now for quite some time even factoring in injuries.
Trinity depend on these players more than most to take us from survivors to contenders. It’s harsh but your only as good as your last game as they say. Tanginoa is on cloud nine after yesterday but he now needs to stay there.
Hope he does.
