Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 3379144, member: 1848"] I don't want to completely write off Tesi - I think with the ball in hand, he's quite a handy player. He's very lively and has some excellent footwork. The stats UB posted earlier show that he's more than capable when we're in possession. It's his off-the-ball play that really needs a lot of work put into it. He seems to possess no game smarts whatsoever. Yes, lack of experience plays a part, but when you've reached this level of footy, you're expected to be able to do the basics. I only ever played in the forwards when I was growing up (despite my pining to be a half or a centre haha), but I still had an understanding of each role in the team and the requirements of every position. You don't necessarily get taught that, it's just innate from playing and watching the game, taking an interest, etc. Do players coming through these days not learn like that? Tesi is far too much of a liability at fullback at the moment. If he needs to learn to play the position, he needs to do it in Queensland Cup. I wouldn't mind seeing him continuing in the team at centre, with Herbie going to fullback. As I said, he's a good runner of the ball and quick on his feet, with a knack for breaking tackles, so I think he'd fill the centre role quite nicely. [/QUOTE]
