Tautau Moga in trial game.

[Cockadoodledoo]

It is very difficult for large guys like that to change direction and defend a sidestep, or turnaround and chase a kick behind the line.


It will be interesting to see if Moga can make an NRL career out of being an outside back, or whether he follows Tony Williams into the second row, or Soliola to ESL.

He isn't bigger than Mal Meninga and he went alright. Not that many Centres can actually side step anyway.

& IMO Carney outside Leilua in the left & Perrett outside Moga on the right.

That's the way it should go as long as bj is fit by the. I don't think he will be.

Agreed.
Would hope that he ends up like Crusher or Harris......."just run over the top of the bastards"

[Ray Stehr]

Did you see how much faster he was than Soliola in that clip?

That wouldn't be hard.

[Ray Stehr]

Sorry comparing him to Izzy is not good enough, Falou was a gentle giant powder puff.

Tau Tau has got ATTITUDE with bigger thighs, a fitting comparison would be 'Jonah Lomu"

Jumping the gun maybe. Let's wait until rd10 before we start saying he's better than Folou.

At this early stage i hope it's fact. We have an abundance of backrowers.

Wonder if Moga will be as good as Idris?

Idris has his good games & when he is on you cant contain him.

[Cockadoodledoo]

but when I played the clip in slow motion he was still faster.. then to check i watched in reverse and sure enough he still would have edged him.

Wow what an exciting life you lead.

Idris is useless and lazy. Overrated and he has his good games rarely. Surely Moga will be better then him.

This exactly............

Mate a one legged cripple would be faster than Soliola.

Hope so.
On Idris I must admit I have seen alot of high lights of him I havnt watched him closely week in week out but i have watched him in SOO & for his age & experience I thought he went pretty good. If you have watched him closely & say he is useless & lazy then good on you, but i have a feeling he will be well payed over the next 8 or so years playing FG & I am sure rep coaches will keep a close eye on him?

Moga would have more pace than Idris running on one leg

[Guest]

Do we think he will start in the centres? Wouldn't surprise me to see him on the wing until he picks up the pace of first grade. Might be wise to have him as a pure finisher to start with.

He is starting @ either wing or center, depends on how Smith views BJ. If he starts on the wing, teams will have to be careful as to when they kick to him.
