He has a LOT of learning to do.And Taj Annan is more likely a 12 ,13 , 15 utility in Senior Rugby . Doubt you can seriously put his name into a future 10 spot.
Money well spent by the Reds to develop him from nowhere, hey?Droasese has officially joined the Drua squad.

You must be new here.Money well spent by the Reds to develop him from nowhere, hey?
after he was spotted in a FIJI u16 side that was beaten by Qld Red and Qld White by over 50 points each.You must be new here.
Droasese played colts at wests before he had any kind of NRC/Super contract.
If they’re playing colts as 22 year olds it’s not really an endorsement for higher honours is itSome are now playing in QPR (Colts and Prems) and Shute Shield.
Far out, the number of injuries related to fatigue/overuse has been huge this year - big loss and a blow to our chances in the finals. Hopefully he’s alright for the international seasonThe Queensland Reds are seeking further medical opinion, however it is expected tighthead prop Taniela Tupou will be sidelined for the remainder of the Super Rugby Pacific season with a calf strain suffered in last Friday's match against the Chiefs.
No, we don’tWait - do we know it’s due to overuse/fatigue?
He seemed to have ice on his achilles as well, was there two issues?The Queensland Reds are seeking further medical opinion, however it is expected tighthead prop Taniela Tupou will be sidelined for the remainder of the Super Rugby Pacific season with a calf strain suffered in last Friday's match against the Chiefs.
Often the case with soft tissue injuries, though.Wait - do we know it’s due to overuse/fatigue?
Yes apologies everyone, I should’ve been more specific/used a different term. I was referencing the number of soft tissue injuries that seemingly haven’t been as a result of impact/collision - strains, pulls, tears, etc., which I know are part and parcel with any sport, but it seems like we’ve had more than usual this seasonYeah, it can be. But it can be a lot of things. The comment above indicate we’ve had a lot of injuries from overuse/fatigue. I’m not really sure that’s true.
Petaia & Vunivalu are guys who’ve certainly been treated very carefully. But you certainly couldn’t say they’ve been overused. Any sign of trouble and they’ve been taken from the field.
Off the top of my head our other injuries have been Mafi, Nasser, Nonggorr (I think) Salakao-Loti, Wright, ASY (Angus Scott-Young) (Angus Scott-Young), McDermott, JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor), Henry, Campbell, Paisami. Any I’ve missed?
I’m not aware of any of those coming from fatigue/burnout. it could well be - maybe I’m just not aware of it.
