Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3432285, member: 9518"] Tesi is obviously talented enough to sometimes step and make a break, he even throws the occasional nice pass to put the winger in for a try. This is to be expected of a young up and coming NRL player. What Tesi lacks is footy awareness, how to evaluate the opposition's shape and bark orders to his own defensive line to counter that threat. This may come with maturity, but at present he has no idea where to place himself let alone the rest of the defensive line. His other great weakness is under pressure he panics and it is plain for all to see that he is not comfortable under the bomb or going in for a 50/50 ball. He is solid enough to take a hit up and but he makes very few metres and very rarely does he break the line like every other decent fullback. It is also obvious he wants to play for us, but his footy smarts (or lack of) is not what this teams needs at present. Pretty much the whole team were slightly off their game last night, primarily because the Rorters were on theirs. when this happens the last line of defence is always left exposed and any short-comings of the FB become glaringly obvious. Hopefully, this is one of the "lessons" the coaching staff learned that Kevvie was talking about in the presser. He needs a good spell in Qcup to work on his organisational skills as well as overcoming his anxiety under the bomb. perhaps then we will see a better version of Tesi. [/QUOTE]
