Savelio was at fault for the try defensively and does have a habit of being a little flat footed. He's a big until and takes time to move.

Don't forget he's not played much rugby for past 9 month.

Aye, it was always going to be a tough game for him to make his debut in but I thought he did well - certainly looks a force going forward.

Made up for the lad, he's had a really tough time of it with illness and injuries.

He looked a handful with ball in hand - first big junior I can remember scattering a few like that on debut.

Did he get a knock ?

I think it's a bit harsh to say he was at fault. Burrow and Sinfield quickly spotted a 3 v 2 situation for Ablett to go through and Savelio was one of the 2 defenders in question.

It was a good play by Leeds we did well to keep them to 1 try all night

Re: Mose saveloy and sia : Sat Mar 29, 2014 10:20 am  

Keeping Leeds to one try was immense. Really impressed with Mose's progress, i was really worried that Burrow would have a field day with him, but stood up well in defence. He was blowing alot but with Amor , LMS and Walmesley not playing, he's doing far more minutes than he normally would

Sia was just Sia, plays like hes Mose's size with the energiser bunnies energy

Sav had a great debut, big future for this lad

Having watched it again, you're right. I think he picked up a runner that the markers could have taken care of, but like you say it was more about good work by Leeds than about a misread by Savelio.

You watched it again.

Lucky you. Some Virgin media customers are waking up very disappointed. Changing the name on a series record. Very very naughty.

Watched Savelio from the age of 12 at Latchford. He will be a first team regular next year that there is no danger. Not only is he a great runner of the ball his got a very good offload game aswell. Saints did well just giving him the 10 - 15 mins. He needs minutes against poorer teams and when we have fewer injuries.

Considering the brain disease he had last year his done super making his debut this year. One down side for me is the fact if he does very well he will be picked up by the NRL. Alot of his family still live down under and he visits quite regular, also a dream of his to play down there.

Also big raps to Greg Richards, prop forward vs Leuluai and Peacock at 18 years of age.
