Clearly put more timber on from last season. From the highlights I was impressed how fast and nimble he is too though... How on earth doed he do it?
I'm feeling really sorry for him though as I think the club will look at his conditioning more for the new deal, rather than exactly what he brings to the team..
I think I'd keep him on big money just as he is to be honest. He's our only threat most of time....

Yes mate, he’s an easy target for criticism, because he’s marquee and we expect him to win games single-handedly for us.
Agree, he’s still a threat, maybe not as much as when he first came over.
But we should keep him for 2 more years, just not on marquee money.
Time for Broadbent to develop as well.

He's the sort of player you should be working out how to get the best out of, and how to launch him.

He's a devasting runner, you want the platform to give it to him at the right time, and then have support runners looking for the offload.

If you think back in the day we had the likes of Rob, Danny, Brent screaming up in support of whoever had punched a hole in the line, granted they were all rapid, but it's not rocket science as a tactic but very effective.

Is it single biggest threat with the ball. We need to retain him.

The break he made last night won us the game

I wouldn't try abd known his contracy down. Feels a bit cheap to me and giving him wrong message. Think we need to value what he brings more....
Id one of best marquee signings SL has. I'd hate to loose him...!

There are reasons he isn't in the NRL any more and those are his fitness levels and his error rate. He's a very frustrating player but is still influential in our team so yes we probably will want to keep him. But the money being paid will have to come down, especially when the club will almost certainly have had to reduce the total playing budget.

Let's be honest, if he were that good he wouldn't be here would he. He's still one of best centres in SL....

Quite, the time of NRL top standard players coming over here has sadly long gone.

What youve said about him there is probably true of 99% of imports in SL, ironically we have got one of the 1% of those players in Tetevano in my opinion

Yeah completely agree with that. Yet our recruitment decisions are shocking apparently...!

Yeh agree.
Despite the big investments in NRL forwards at Hull, Saints and Hudds, I wouldn’t swap any of them for Tetevano or Prior.

Just watched that last run by Hurrell again. How can a man that size be so quick and good on his feet?
Imagine trying to stop him...!

Happy to keep if not marquee. Simply not good enough for marquee.

When you have a runner the size of Hurrell you would think we'd organise ourselves so we try and give him the ball with some space to run into. Instead, we seem to force him into playing like a prop one man rugby.

Think somebody mentioned on Fri that he should be partnered with Handley as he usually is and I would probably agree with that. Gives us some real strike on one edge then.

Koni is our biggest threat with the ball, needs games now and a linking full back who can provide a passing game to help put him into space.

I agree with that

Most definitely should be with Handley, they were very good as a combo..

I quite like him on the right, but he's totally wasted there with our current half back set up.

Ast night Was as bad as it gets for Koni. We can't carry him at centre anymore defensively.
His weight has ballooned. But he lost his mum, and we need to have empathy. I would actually play him as interchange 20 min prop when Newman is back.
And if he go's well, keep him there for 2 season contract on reduced terms, but not drastically reduced......

He's big enough to play prop. Unless he improves I wouldn't offer another contract.

We all know his weaknesses , but its the coaches job to make the most of his strengths . How many planned moves do we have to bring him onto the ball at pace , or use him as a dummy runner - answer none. Our coach plus assistant are not doing their job .

Koni isnt blameless. There is nothing to stop Koni going looking for the ball also. I saw none of that Sunday.

You can have all the planned moves you want but when your hooker is one of our 9s, when the half back on that side is Sutty and the 2nd rower outside that is Rhyse Martin the ball aint going out to the centre/wing and if it does it will be that slow the opposition will primed and ready.

I know the point you are making and dont disagree but no coach can make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

We will win games and end up midtable but no Leeds team should accept midtable mediocrity.

I agree , you would think that after a first half like that , then the player would bust a gut in the second half to try and make up for his errors -
get involved and show some balls - sadly this did not happen.

The last thing we need is Koni busting his gut. It would be very messy.

Doubt we will see Hurrell Being dropped or anything, our backs drop like flies at minute. Told Handley out again for a while.
