Dont rate Stapo at all. Did bugger all on the wing.
He's got the bulked up body now and the taped up wrists but still has a touch of the Simo when he runs.

Besides Williams, he was our only winger that seemed to know how to catch. Didnt see him running str8 at front rowers on his returns either,

You're joking, stapo ran the ball back the hardest out of any of our wingers-matty wright.

I disagree man, Brilliant in the air and runs hard, I reckon he's one of our better wingers.

Stapo was safe in the air and did the dirty work of running it out when we where camped on his line.

Sadly if he was attacking the line he wasnt any good. Id really like to see him in the centres though.

Disagree as well.

he was quality under the high ball, and made loads of metres with hit ups.

Loves the hard stuff, send him in!!!!

For mine I am pretty happy with him and Hotdog, now just need to sort the centres, hopefully Tupou, Bukuya, Best & Wright can fill these 2 critical positions we have struggled with

Finally some love for Stapo.

I don't know why most people on here bag him.

He's in my 17.

I don't mind him:

positives: Great under the highball, Is a target for cross field kicks and makes good metres out of our own half.

Negative: Bad defensive reads.

I would want mills and hotdog on the wings with stapo the wing or fullback cover with pickerd.

mills has alot more potential and more punch in attack so I don't think we need two solid wingers in hotdog and stapo.

:Yes: I agree 100%

You can also say the same about Matt Wright.

Thats why I'm not so sure that "SF favourite" Hotdog is guranteed a spot in the team. He'll prob get picked for Round 1, but I think he'll have some serious competition for his spot.

I know I will get payed out but I think by the end of the season some of our young guys will easily have overtaken him.
