Was anyone aware he's allowed to represent England internationally?

Needs to improve significantly in attack.

Has zero passing game.

Got stood up badly for that try but it was a nice move and think most would be caught out.

I thought he was really strong tonight. Carried several defenders many times and always looked a threat.
Agree. Still don't believe he gets enough early ball to show what he can do in attack.

Their first try....was kind of what @bort was saying a few days ago but tbf on this occasion, I think he just got burnt by pace. He's a fast little bugger.

Yep. People keep saying they don’t get the love for Iro, but I don’t get the hate. For someone only 17 games into his NRL career I reckon he’s making a good fist of it. His carries are strong and I think his defence is getting better each week. Yes, he got burned by Grey but a lot of others would too.

The hard part is Sifa does need to be more involved and have more minutes, but I really don’t think he should replace Iro. I actually thought Sifa wasn’t great in the first half but it’s probably more an aberration. I’d have no issue him playing instead of Wilton but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Don’t think there is hate
I think people believe Sifa is a better centre right now than Iro is

Iro is a winger imo.
Strong carries out of his own end, decent hands, won’t get bundled into touch and he can’t pass. His defence is strong if he gets the read right. I don’t want him over Katoa or Ronnie but if they both arnt available he

The moment Stonestreet when off and Sifa moved to centre he showed Iro what he should be doing. Drawing the defenders and setting up his winger. I really miss seeing that on a regular basis.

He what???? Didn’t finish your sentence mate.

Iro can play wing or centre. I’m interested to hear @BurgoShark opinion on whether Iro can pass or not.

Iro has been a winger or centre always whereas Sifa is a middle that was made into a centre.

Don’t get me wrong I think Sifa is damaging but I think he’s better in the middle. I do agree that Fitz is not using Sifa enough and as I said I’d be fine having him start replacing Tieg.

In a big game Sifa needs to be in the middle it’s the best balance for the team and it’s very handy that he can play centre’s in case of a injury

I’ve been pretty critical of Iro previously, but he’s growing each game.

Bit stiff to call for a change when Sifa creates one linebreak.

Yeah not a fan of moving Iro, but I am a fan of moving Sifa to the edge and have Wilton coming on for McInnes.
