I need to have another look at that - I honestly thought he was just doing what players always do after someone does something bizarrely violent to a team-mate (get to them quickly and drag them off a potentially injured player before they do anything else crazy) but I didn't see any swinging arm to the head. If anything he slowed down when he pushed ZT off Hurrell. Could be wrong though (wouldn't be the first time). If AW did attack him I think it would be the first time I've ever seen him attack anyone.

Newman continues to look a terrific player when he can get onto the pitch.

To be fair I’ve not watched it back either so Im only going on what I first saw, I don’t think he ‘pushed’ him off more went in to grapple with Tetevano

Found a video It’s probably somewhere between the two https://twitter.com/martinjgabor/status ... 77920?s=21 Tetevanos hit looks worse with every viewing! Lucky it was on a big guy like hurrell anyone smaller it could have caused some serious damage

We had effort at times last night but it wasn't enough showed some good glimpses in attack since Rohan Smith has took over. Ultimately our defensive errors and some officiating errors cost us. The officiating from Tom Grant was horrendous all game pretty much he probably gave saints 12-18 they shouldn't have had but the standard of reffing has dropped like most things in SL now days. Tetevano is in the same bracket as failed overseas signings as Joe Vickery, Ben Cross & Beau Falloon maybe even worse. Bentley was stupid getting his sin bin but his effort is always there and I think if we build a better team with him in it I don't this will see half of his Ill discipline antics happen. I still believe Rohan Smith is the right man to get us on course and hopefully we can fully turn a corner soon and get back to competing.

Tetevano's 'tackle' was awful and I'd have no issue with a 6 or 8 match ban. He's exceptionally lucky not to have caused Hurrell a serious injury.

Just on Oledzki, its time to stop giving him a free pass. We're short on props and he's an England international. He needs to step up and lead the props and not for the first time he failed to make any impact with the ball. Like it or not that's half of his job.

Watched the Tet Hit again, thanks For posting. Think 4 games would be reasonable. Just very poor timing and technique.
We all know he’s getting 8 though!

Think there's a balance to be had in the assessment of Oledski because he's the only prop that has done anything all year and back end of last. If they don't recruit well there they're in danger of ruining his potential.

One of the few pluses from the game was I thought Walters had a decent game.He tackled well and drove the ball up strong.

Thats not poor timing or technique, thats a deliberate jump, shoulder into head, its malicious and intentional. If that was committed on one of our players especially from a player with previous form i would be disappointed with anything less than 8 games. I hope thats the last we see if him, quicker we get shut the better. Before anyone says we need him as we are short of props, no good when he’s banned half the time and when he played he offers nothing, waste of space

Apart from too much, what do we think he's being paid to make 50meters a game 150-200k?

The carry he made where he caught the shoulder off the kick off he just turned his back and made no attempt to dominate the collision. He's a bloody awful player.

Completely agree, I wish it had been timing or technique but it was just madness. The game was already lost, the ball had gone, so it was just a dense late hit, off the ball. If he had put his shoulder lower into Walmsley when he had the ball the game may have been a bit different.

Totally reckless.

I reckon it will be approx £180-£200k, given suspended for 50% of the time, it’s a terrible signing.

And just being sht the other 50%.

I had a lot of hope for Tetavano when he signed but he has got worse every week.
I doubt he will go back to the NRL unless he can get a better deal.
He still gets paid whilst sat in the stand.
Maybe we can get rid on the basis we bought faulty goods and he doesn`t do what it says on the tin.

One positive from Friday, we may have lost and lost the plot fir the last ten minutes but at least we played some good rugby, compare that to the game last night which was barely pub tram standard and to think Warrington fans didn’t like how they played under price!

Interesting how the attack has been praised for improving on Friday but largely not as a consequence of any great play from the halves?

Is Ron Seal out of contract says he makes 200yds and 50 tackles

For me the attack has looked noticeably better over the last three games. The halves have shone when our undersized pack has managed to achieve some sort of parity with the opposition, notably twice against Warrington, who also have a prop shortage. Felt sorry for Austin who had Walmsley coming at him full steam all night. If the forwards get outmuscled the halves get smashed.

think tetevano came with more of a rep and is like the 80s half a season signings except stuck with him for 3 yrs

It's his lack of effort after contact. He just folds over and dorsnt drive his legs properly half the time. A mixture of not caring and lack of size??....desperately hope he never puts another shirt on for us

If he then plays out of his skin for Dolphins (where inevitably he will go) then we will know we have been conned

doing a mullins

Haven't Leeds signed Prior for another 2 yrs? If so that would worry me?

I think Tetevano gets the honour of being our worse ever forward signing since the days of Illawarra prop Peter Smith !! ( also thought Trent Merrin was dire too )
