God it would be good if Finau hit someone other than 10’s
It's a good start though. How many other loose forwards are making 10s terrified of receiving a pass?
He’s been the same for 3 years. Does that mean it started 3 years ago? He’s got big hit potential, just wish it were on other forwards or midfielders as well
Sure, but it's easier on obvious plays where you can get that momentum. And yet none of our other players are doing it.
Not pointlessly anyway.
What makes it pointless?
Hitting a ten that easily gets the ball away while taking yourself out of the defence and 20 metres behind the play isn't the greatest win. Probably not a big deal when it's just a training run anyway, but doesn't add much.

Au contraire - it makes them stand deeper, giving your defence more time. It can also make them nervous too so sneak a quick look and knock on.

Only if it's a proper rib tickler, miller got straight up and I doubt many worry about it after that.

A lot of people get up after getting smashed and are still affected.

I just think if you're a ten, you're not that worried about a guy that can't even smack another forward. In fact you're probably happy to draw him out - you're doing your job. If he can actually replicate on at least a loosie, different story.

I'd like some evidence for the inherent premise Finau doesn't tackle as well/ hard as all the other loose forwards. Because if he does, and also does the odd hit on 10s, what's the problem?
