I disagree. I think he has had one or two matches in which he has missed a ball. That's it though. But maybe the dullness of our rugby has erased my memory!
What do you mean by 'beat a man' exactly? Do you mean on his kick returns? Because if you do although he doesn't have that strength yet (he's only just turned 20 and clearly is of a lean frame) he got his head through in the tackle on every return tonight. Not only that but I remember in the playoffs last year against Wigan how he turned Sam Tomkins inside out so he's capable of sidestepping his opposition.
He needs more chances. I think he has abilities that are being neglected as the ball hardly ever goes his way. Tonight it did and look, he scored a brace.
Yes I'm on about his kick returns. I know he's only just turned 20 but I've seen the likes of charnley, tomkins, Briscoe, hall etc all beat men at that age.
Only time will tell of he will make a fullback but IMO hohaia should be #1 next year.
