Sione Vailanu

[Rossm]

Tops 2 stats after 2 rounds of the Prem:

Defenders beaten - 12.
Carries - 32.

James Gaskell equal tops lineout steals - 3.

Unfortunately a couple of our All Blacks feature in tackles missed: Lima with 6 and Malakai with 5. BTW this stat is topped by fiver with 9:D

Disappointingly they havent been big gains. I think I was expecting more...with more gains in the carry.

Surprised the winger from Saints didnt top that chart

[baldpaul101]

He's played 2 games and is top of two stats, and you're disappointed?


How did Nathan Hughes get on in his first 2 games for Wasps?

Might be worth giving the bloke a chance before writing him off

An the over reaction award goes to....
Merely stating I was expecting something different to what I got...hardly write off. Chill buster

[baldpaul101]

I think you can self award that....

Erm..you responded to me, i didn't respond to myself..
Are you Gwyneth Paltrow in disguise?

[Shugs]

Vailanu is a good option for me. When we have all our sixes and sevens fit I expect Carr to start at 8 most of the time with SV capable of impact later on.

If you enjoy mocking other posters there's a alternative forum you will be more at home with.

Anyway, how do you know it Isn't Gwyneth?

Fortunately we are not the other forum - and we need to take care not to resemble them.

Vailani has certainly been a positive injection into the squad. I asked in another thread if he has lost weight - which he seemed to have, but I only saw him from a TV vantage point. Anyone know if he has?

He looks better than he did in the Pacific Cup..I was worried...Tongan BBQ took a hit that month

So many on here have bemoaned our lack of heavyweight forwards capable of trucking the ball up over the gainline. For me he's a starter, with a more mobile Carr coming off the bench to run at/around tired defenders.

This. I do wonder how often people comment from their TV chair rather than see all the player movement live.
For me he is is big improvement on this time last year when Hughes was virtually broken (the fact he (Hughes) is working now is due to a lack of Eddie more than anything else).

I said on here, or DW, that I had high hopes for him. His early stats certainly make for good reading and with a little more integration he could prove to be a very good fit for us, all in my opinion of course.
