The theory is that forwards generally peak in their late 20s, I can remember many instances where this has definitely been the case, Kevin Ward was a prime example.
At this moment in time, you are correct about the comparison with T, but Sione has the potential if he gets his act together, all the ingredients are there and IMO it's just a matter of tweaking his game to get the best out of him. |

| Quote danny boy1="danny boy1"I still don't think how Sione has played warrants supporters getting on his back, he's done some really good things in that time and looked a class apart, his tackling for sure - I remember when I first saw him play it was like watching Nikau reborn and he seems to have even more strings to his bow than T had.
 You should be ashamed to call yourself a Cas fan! Nikau was a fantastic player who played at the very top level of rugby league!

Props tend to mature in their late 20s second rowers loose forwards are usually in their prime by their mid 20s. See Andy Farrell, Paul Sculthorpe, David Solomona, Gordon Tallis etal as examples. Faumuina should be well in to his prime, maybe he's past it? (not as a player but his best days may have been and gone??)

Just like a certain Mr Rudder Faumuina came over with big raps, but like Rudder he played next to the best Scrum Half going at the time, I said before the season he could end up been "Rudder mkII" and so far this season he hasn't proven me wrong, he has been quite shambolic so far, and if he doesn't pick it up soon he wont be a Tiger next season.

With the quota reducing by two, I doubt he will be anyway. Put it this way, it's either him or Evans to be retained and out of both, I'd pick Evans. |

If there's any British centres available, Evans may be gone too, as good as he is, a younger British player with similar ability would be better imo. If there is nobody that fits that criteria available, then Evans would be good to keep as he is a very solid player, and with a better winger then Dixon outside him we will be sorted.
Next season I think we need:
Winger
Prop (Lynch?)
big impact second rower (Fa'aoso back if possible?) |

Evans does not count on our quota does he? He has a british passport!!!
When we came back from catalan we lined up in eu passport holders line while all aussies and kiwis had to fill in visas.

Dunno with Evans. I recall that Bradford were peeved that they couldn't keep him, although I'm sure that's because he's classified as non-fed rather than quota. |
