    TBF, they went fine without him last week. It is more that our other midfield options, particularly at centre are just way too slow with everything they do.

          I know and I wouldn't want him to air the dirty laundry. He still told a fib though.

                      I laughed at the way Hurley was thrown out of the ruck just then.

                        Faleafaga had a bit of a mare... his kicking game leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not convinced that at this stage of his career, he is a better player than Millar who does the basics far better. Should trust his running game, because that is his strength.

                          He offers front foot ball and more gain line ball than anyone else in the backline. Definitely feel the effects when he’s not playing that’s for sure

                            That was fun. The Hurricanes have a great shot at winning the title this year.

                              Yeah wasn’t his best performance but a game you sort of half expect. Huge ask going up there with a lot the other of the main players not on the field surrounding him. He did struggle but you can tell those are issues he can grow from and improve on. Heck of a talent. I remember Lima’s first couple seasons and he looked a lot worse than Falefaga has so I still hold out hope for him.

                              Agree with you on the Millar part about him getting the basics done better. I would probably say Millars organization is ahead of Faleafagas too but that’s all about time in the saddle.

                                The one thing Sopoaga always had though, was a decent length punt. Faleafaga doesn't have that, and I am not sure that is something that really improves... (or not as much as we need it to)

                                This is not to say he won't have a great career, because he is an extremely good playmaker, and another year in the NPC will do him good, but if you don't have a long punt, in the modern game it is difficult.

                                    In terms of the kicking with Faleafaga. The wind was an absolute nightmare. The first half saw kicks that wpuld have gone 30m further just die. It was a horrible night for kickers.

                                          I know you love Faleafaga, but his kicking decision-making was fairly average... and it is not a new issue.
