I just don't see what attributes Ronnie has to be a decent winger. Not fast, not all that good at finishing, not agile.
Love for him to prove me wrong.
He's a bit of a jack of all trades master of none winger really. Not the tallest, not the strongest, not the fastest, not the most agile, not the most skillful, not the best finisher, not the safest.
His biggest weakness is sometimes he overdoes it a bit being passionate.... and I guess that he has no elite attribute.
He has 39 games played for 25 tries which is a pretty solid given they were over two seasons we scraped into the 8 and one we will likely just miss it.
His ratio is behind JAC, Johnstone and some other elite scorers but on par with the likes of Tupou, Feldt and many others who have made long careers and been around rep teams at times.
To'o has a slightly worse ratio of 47 games 27 tries, obviously he is an elite meter eater and I'd happily take him over Ronnie (sorry Ronnie) but Ronnie is by no means a weak winger. He's not one of the elites though.
you gotta remember, we still have a bit of recruitment to go, players will be released end of season, we are still at least 3 proper first graders off a good team for 2022
Unless Fifi comes off the books I doubt we have more than one decent recruitment left in us for this year. Probably fill another couple gaps better the year after when Fifita and Moylan are out.
We do currently have 7 spots open for next year so between now and pre-season we will likely sign around 5, I expect 4 being squad fillers (like keep Hiroti for example)
