Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3281673, member: 9853"] I'm critical of him after watching his indifferent defence in the ISC. There's never been any question the guy is fleet of foot, but that's not actually something we're lacking in Jamayne, Herbie or Xavier. If you were to compare him with Isaako, he would probably lose on almost every count. We're not lacking skilful players or athletes, we're lacking players who look to form a combination with other players, link up, put them in holes, or be the other half of that. We're lacking players who can read the opposition attack and farm their peers into formation to block it before it becomes a contest of trying to hold them up over the try line. Tevita Pangai Jr is halfway there. He looks to take on the line, break it and get a pass away. He plays like a genuine centre in attack on the edge. More than Arthars and Farnworth, both of whom are talented individuals but not big on forming combinations. What Niu has most in his favour is time. Unlike Isaako, we might overlook his weaknesses due to lack of experience. But when we see a player like Hynes do exactly what we want, we know Niu isn't bringing it. He's just another player who will try to go it himself. Most of the time that will fail. That type of player belongs on the wing. We seem to have an entire team of wingers, some faster than others.
