Nothing against Anderson, but IMO just don’t see much in him and don’t see any real potential.
Doesn’t offer much speed & strength & isn’t a strong ball carrier either. In this age of the nrl you have to have at least one of those attributes in the backline.
It’s why Penrith have been so dominant the last two years & went back to back, they have very strong ball carriers in the back line to help the forwards out and then the spine can play at their best off the back of all the momentum & fast play the balls.

Agree with you. I find our outside back depth pretty uninspiring TBH. They're all either pretty vanilla or have peaked in their careers (Seve, Ieremia, Jennings, Young T and Anderson). Only Sua and Warbrick show any real potential. That part of the field needs a complete overhaul IMO.Mstorm1999 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 11:37 pm Nothing against Anderson, but IMO just don’t see much in him and don’t see any real potential.

Lucas a bit harsh on Young Tonumaipea but valid point re: the other depth backs.Lucas wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:52 amAgree with you. I find our outside back depth pretty uninspiring TBH.

Id like to see that, no better time to get experience into youngins
I'd have thought the club would have given us some kind of info regarding his status, it is now open to conspiracy theories. My theory is relationship breakdown with the club and both parties don't like each other and neither are ready to pay out and part ways so it's reggies forever. Happy to be wrong.

Because he had that one great game on debut....
It's like they're trying to capture lightening in the bottle.
I feel for the guy tbh, he got lucky, now there's just a mountain of expectation that he's unlikely to ever climb

I don’t want to pick on players but how you can pick Anderson over Fa’alongo is beyond me…
