And yeah his positional play in defence is ok. As you said Brain it's technique. The tackle he missed on Frank Winterstein against Manly spelt the end of his season in first grade. He was in a good position to make the tackle, just got steamrolled. Robbo had no confidence in him after that.

The thing about Folau is he brings people to the games more than a player of Manu's ilk. And that's what Nick likes. Superstars. Big names.
Is it right or wrong, I don't know?
..it’ll be interesting to see

Originally posted by Paddo Chook View PostAgree with u brain and dice. Manu was immense in the NSW cup GF. He wanted the ball in his hands, was clearly the go to guy and tried his absolute guts out. I'm sure Fitzy and co can make him a better defender. His attacking ability is outstanding with roosters insiders saying his footwork is better than all but RTS. I'm a massive fan. Must keep in my opinion.
Crazy talent. The defence thing is way overblown.
We must make him and Latrell our keeper priorities and watch this backline dominate for the next few years.

I have heard this rumour too and no shit......
This would be such a classic if we do get him with all the melt-downs from other eupporters, it would almost be like winning a premiership.....
But with our $1m or so of spare cash I would prefer a prop like Bromwich or even a hard head like Ben Téo and we get the NRL to kick in half his salary..... lol.......Originally posted by Bondi Boy
