It's sad that Mark Nawaqanitawase hasn't got any more game time. His defence needs a lot of work but he has so much raw talent.

He'll be back and better for having a year in SS to iron out his faults
He'll get there. He's a terrific talent but Ramm has been the find of the season for us.

Hope to see more of Nawaqanitawase, his frame alone is a good reason to keep investing in him.. Dont see many outside backs of his height move like he does, it creates a whole different point of attack with the aerial ability.
Vunivalu to the Reds in 2021 is of a similar frame just filled out a bit more

He put in a good shift for Eastwood on the weekend and his attitude seemed really good, he seemed to be enjoying it. He actually seems more solid than I thought he would be. There’s no doubt he’s a massive talent and I think a bit of club rugby under his belt will get his core skills in order.

He managed the game well. Kicked his goals, which was the difference in the result. He’s Also bulked up since the colts gf last year. What seems good with him is he played well in the colts gf behind a dominated pack and then for Eastwood he was in control behind a dominant pack. I think Australian rugby has a good batch of good 10s coming through.
He had is chance and "raw" is an understatement, he looks like a talented kid who needs a shit load of work before he gets another chance
I think his decision making is a major issue, he has no positional sense in defence. Wings will regularly be in defending 2 on 1s and he was constantly making the wrong call, falling over or going to for the intercept
He needs a lot of time in the sand pit and working through defensive drills, so knowing when to commit, when to drift and how to stay linked to your inside defender is second nature

He was good on the weekend as he steered them to a victory over Wicks. There were glimpses of his strong running game as well which often gets lost for 10s moving from schoolboys/Colts to the big leagues.

Wonder where he ends up? He will be in a senior program soon, and he is one of the blokes that will lose out the most from the world juniors being called off.

It's a fair comment and I tend to agree, but his upside is greater than 99% of players in the country and he will be in a professional setup full-time very soon.
Which doesn't mean he won't keep playing SS full-time, but he will be put on some sort of pathway before long you would have to imagine.

Great banter from Alex Newsome by wearing his old Western Force jersey for Jersey Day.

Now that the season is over Penney said in his last post match interview the Tahs will enter a review of the season. Should be interesting to see what the plans for which players will be kept and recruitment for next season

..and which ones decide to stay. With a few players due to head to Japan etc.. next year from a number of the Super AU clubs, it wouldn't surprise me to see some inter-club movement.
