Official Teig Wilton

[Walley_01]

The club sees this bloke as a future captain so no way they don’t do everything to keep him

 

[Wizard]

Wilton was on a mission to miss as many as he could.

Penrith took advantage of this previous to Edwards line break. Wilton shot out, missed completely, didn't get back to the defensive line, forces Rudolf to defend at second row, and yeah Trindall missed Edwards.

Wilton has a good game here and there, but there's really nothing else. I just don't get the hype that a few on here have for him.

Agreed.

Very replaceable, give his spot to Sifa

 

[Gumby]

Is Dylan Coutts gonna be in our top 30 next season?

 

[G.H Shark]

Agreed.

Very replaceable, give his spot to Sifa

We looked pretty nice with Sifa, Iro and Mulitalo on that edge at times

Signed but think it’s still dev deal

 

[Gards]

When you rush up you make sure you actually make the tackle.

Or at least knock yourself out with head to head contact like good ol Wado

Problem is we don't have the abundance of back rowers.

Which is funny when you look back at our Ricky Stuart era squads

 

[Sparkles]

Thought you were saying they were the same and I had a ****ing stroke

Don't be ashamed of indulging in some self gratification.

Funny note on Teig, apparently Mason and Horo off the levels podcast reckon the best way to improve our forwards would be to add some ball skills to the middle by running him as a ball-playing lock, shift McInnes back to the bench and put Talakai out on his edge.

Think we also said to do this earlier in the season as a way to get Sifa on the edge

I’ve not seen the ball playing from him to warrant that. In fact I’d take Talakais.
You lose Wiltons line which are good but I’m sure Wilton would do a solid job.

But imo it improves side more by playing Sifa 80 than by what Teig would bring short or medium term.

But they are (footy) smart bloke maybe they’ve seen some ball playing in him I’ve overlooked

Yeah i suggested it and got all sorts of stupid replies.

We have Nikora and Wilton who offer very much the same. Nikora is better though. Need a point of difference on Wilton’s edge as he’s just way to one dimensional. Would suit playing in the middle because his strengths are running and tackling. He has zero creativity which is fine. He’s a no thrills type player that suits that role in the middle more than an edge.

100% agree

Simple role player

He’d do well in that role I reckon. Just needs to bulk up a bit. Could be a bit of a handful through the middle. Got decent footwork and the ability to win the play the ball quickly. Think it’s worth looking at. Talakai on that edge is what’s needed. Has the X factor our starting side really lacks.

I believe Talakai offers more on the edge than Wilton. I reckon Wilton will be a great lock if he bulked up.

 

[Jaz]

I'm surprised you guys are so off Wilton. While he hasn't shown much of a passing game he's a great line runner and defender. Talakai might carry blokes farther in the tackle but Teig is much more likely to breeze past them completely.

If we lost Teig I'd have no problem putting Talakai at 12 but I'd rather keep em both and try Talakai at 13, where his PCM and soft hands could really make an impact. McInnes to bench with both playing ~40 mins.

Not sure why that's a problem when they play on different sides?

I wouldn't say he's a great defender to be honest. He's pretty average, many times it seems he rushes up and misses his target, that and he's a bit of an shirt grabber.

 

[Sharkfox]

Turn Teig into an Alec Mcdonald, guy is a mobile workhorse.
Same size and similar build

That way i dont mind letting Williams go, Teig can be aggressive in the middle and still bring intensity/impact, give him time there

 

[Sparkles]

I've been on that train for a while. Talakai would be immense at lock. And/or highly entertaining

Careful - we haven't had much luck with trains lately....
