I agree with this should have come on when afb or Barnett first comes off play 10-15 mins either side of half. Had much more impact than ale who I don’t think is a prop. Overall a very good debut from zyon and deserves to hold a spot in 17 until niukore returns

Yeah, Ale needs to play 13 when Tohu comes off. Only play prop when we have no other options. Webby is too conservative.

I would actually prefer seeing him come on for Mitch around the 25 minute mark. For whatever reason we just seem to switch the fuck off at this time. Just watched the reply and for some reason the whole team lifted when he came on. If that can be repeated then it would help us actually win a game. I can see him filling the same role that Spence Leniu had at the Panthers. Hopefully without the racist/psycho shit.

I can see your reasoning but I would like to see him start.
Think he deserves to feel to be part of the run on side

Same analysis different fix. Zyon Maiu’u to run rampant then Mitch to come on with a cool head. I’d bring Tohu on at the same time too

Starting a young prop who was gassed after 13 minutes would just lead to us letting in points IMHO. He was gassed because he left nothing out there which was a pleasure to see. Mitch also leads our line speed on defense which is one of the reasons we look good to start with. I would always start Mitch at least for now. Once Zyon Maiu’u's body gets more use to FG then yes I could see him getting a start. Doesn't really matter though as Webster is way too conservative coach to start a rookie prop.
Nice for us to be talking up a rookie in a position we really need. Was so happy for the young man having such a great debut. Hopefully we get to see much more of Zyon Maiu’u in FG.

Why do I get the vibes that this guy will fade away? He's not that influential at cup when he is given ample opportunity.

Granted his debut was okay, it's not like hes gone back to cup and killed it, even Sifakula after a long lay off beat him to the bench spot.

I hope he can get there but It seems like he's not doing much in lower grades to show webby that he's ready?

I wondered why we haven’t seen him much this year.
I haven’t watched Reserve grade but take your word for it, evident by him not in the side much at all.
Hopefully he doesn’t fade into oblivion because he looked like he had something to him.

Just looking at his numbers in the cup, he looks like he's just going for the ride.

Should be looking at 10plus runs a game! He's got a great build but obviously not fit enough.

Moses Leota debuted at 20 but was in and out of FG until he was 22/23. Zyon Maiu’u might be like that and start being a regular in a couple of years. He could also never make it to FG again as NRL is a tough comp.
 
I think this is dumb call from the club!

The kid is only 21!!!

He is ahead of bunty as bunty is surplus, Ale is more of a backrow lock type IMO.

For those who think he's hot headed, WHO FUCKEN GIVES A SHIT! I want my props to be hot headed animals, not timid little bitches.

He should have been put up there with Vaimauga as the young bulls we need to bring through with Barney and JFH.

If there is somthing they don't like then why couldn't they just sort it out rather than letting him walk?

If it's for TSS then I think that's stupid, that guy has taro legs but fuck all else! He's going to be another bunty tackle bot, just look at his body shape! And he's not even that good defensively!

Give yourselves an uppercut the two Andrew's!
