Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2576063, member: 1917"] The signing fee the Warriors paid is irrelevant. It's not part of the cap and the NRL isn't about P&L statements. You are right about the defending aspect of the game. He is very timid on kick returns and often looks to dump it off to Fish or Manu. The latter I understand but Fish not so much. Some of his tackling attempts also leave much to be desired, but with the right level of application I think he can improve over time to be decent at it. I still maintain, like I have earlier, that his biggest asset in the NRL will not be his weaving runs but his playmaking. He has shown, IMO, exceptional decision making skills when chiming in down the right side of the field, as his line break assists stat that AP posted shows. And that is with the Warriors performing pretty poorly so far. SJ is almost exclusively a right sided player and with Ropati injured Hurrell comes into right centre inside of Fisiiahi. When you add Tomkins to that mix with his ability it will be lethal. He has exceptional decision making skills in that regards, knows when to run or pass, and who to pass it to and how, be it quick hands, cut out, holding the ball up, or an over the top pass to take the intercept out of play. The element that he adds as the 2nd man down those right side plays IMO will prove massive and I'd not be at all surprised if Fish and Hurrell combine for well over 40 tries this year (With hopefully Fish scoring more of them) [/QUOTE]
