By "used to" do you mean Round 4? And he's only conceded 3 penalties all year.
Or are people still judging him on 2009?
Royal lost the fans a long time ago.
It'd take quite a lot to get them back.

Ropati has been trying to get NU back since 2007! (He's a hopeless fullback, apparently...or that's what they were saying back then, anyway!)
Seriously, though, reputation opinions really irritate me. It's so often a perception placed on the player that may or may not be true, but don't ever let the facts get in the way of our preconceived ideas! :laser:

I reckon on form if we end up having to choose out of heremaia and Hendo, It'd be hendo keeping his spot on the bench. His defense particularly has been outstanding lately, plays with a lot of passion too.

royal and herimai need to go out with the rubish.
Can you expand a bit on that? What are your reasons for sacking/dropping Royal? What are your reasons for sacking/dropping Heremaia?
i just want the best for our club, i think theres better players out there that can do a better job then what they do. as in royal hit ups are pretty weak and no offload skills, heremaia's options are poor from dummy half,he doesnt mix up his plays to confuse the defense to help his forwards get past the advantage line.
Fair enough. Thanks for sharing. I was worried it might be a "Royal drops the ball way too much" view, so you've put my mind at ease, haha!
Is there anyone in our extended squad or in the U20s that you think would do a better job than Royal/Heremaia if they were selected this coming week? (Just wondering if you have anyone in mind in particular.)
royal does drop the ball alot though sorry
just what ive been crying for since last year, bleed mara into 1st grade for heremai, wouldnt mind trying out Nafe Seluini,hes been showing some great form this year for the 20s.
Mataupu Poching for royal would make me happy or Sione Lousi would be better than royal.
other than that im happy with our team, ive learned to live with luck in our team.
haha what he said ^^^^ (didnt read it till now)
Statistics dont really tell you crap. Royal normally gets the ball at walking pace, he doesnt drop the ball, he carries it really poorly, like a dirty nappy and it pops out.
The others that have dropped balls are probably hitting it at a sprint or a very fast cut out pass or a quick play of the ball.
When I think of Price, Packer, Wiki, Rapira etc I think ball tucked up under the arm safe as houses and go forward, when I think of Royal I think of Logan Swann lol
Logan was a solid player, and mostly mistake free, but I cringed every touch he had. A stigma I guess
