Recent discussion highlights Chanel Harris-Tavita's CHT improved performance this season, particularly his consistency at #6. BlackToko88 #195867 praised CHT's confidence and consistency, noting a significant turnaround from a difficult game the previous year. Tookey 2.Tookey 2.0 #210394, who admits to being a harsh critic in the past, expressed stoke for him, acknowledging CHT's development as a second option at half, citing improvements in his kicking, running, and defense. Furthermore, Tookey 2.Tookey 2.0 #210394 pointed out that CHT has achieved an impressive 17 try assists for the year, a noteworthy statistic for a Warriors half in the last decade and that he's been cutting down on poor plays.
The conversation also touched on CHT's potential future and current role within the team. Some users debated whether he should represent Samoa or New Zealand internationally, WahsaurusRex #195873 noting his superior stats compared to Brown of the Kiwis side, despite having fewer touches. However, WahsaurusRex #92 countered that CHT has already been part of the Samoan team previously. Others pondered whether speed training could enhance his running game, VB89 #210671 suggesting his playmaking background influences his pass-first mentality.
Earlier in the discussion, there was speculation about CHT's ideal position, ranging from halfback to a utility player similar to Dylan Walker or Sironen, capable of covering multiple positions. Some believed he could be groomed as a long-term replacement for Shaun Johnson at #7, while others saw him as a valuable utility player off the bench and are now pointing to a potential 10 year contract following a strong performance. There was also discussion about his past performance, whether CHT was being groomed for a half position and about his family, touching on his brother playing 1st XV at Kings College.
