Past #15: Atu Bosenavulagi - drafted #77 '18 ND by CFC - traded to NM as part of Stepho/BBB deal - 8 NM games/1 NM goal

Has settled in beautifully at the level. Gives the impression he could play anywhere, and so would like to see him given a go up forward before we settle on him as defender.

It gets a bit tiring reading these tired cliches turning up in every thread, and in fact I often avoid because it is so crass. How about a bit of positivity for a change. I am amazed, for example, at how much Bonar has improved since coming to the club

Really? Can you honestly say that the club has done a good job of developing our young players For the last, I don’t know, 20 years?

And considering the majority of the group taking the field at the moment fall into the 1-4 year levels of experience, being only able to call out 1 player is basically proving my point (and who’s to say how good he would have been had he stayed at GWS injury free?).

And crass? Ffs give me a break. If you don’t like it perhaps you should take your own advice and continue to avoid it.

Hello Kangaroos I was thinking of trading in Atu to my SuperCoach team is he likely to keep his spot for a while? Or is he fringe/covering for injury? Cheers

Hard to say with the small amount of games, being relatively inexperienced and the amount of injuries we do have. In saying that, he hasn't put a foot wrong at VFL or AFL level as a small defender. Being a pacey small defender capable of intercept marking, something we have lacked with Williams gone, he is likely to stay when Tarrant, L Mac (both long-term) and Corr (soon) are back. But that is just my opinion. I really rate what he has done.

Put him in, McDonald is out for a long time and we really have no other small backs to take his place.
Hayden is the only other, but I reckon Atu has been better than him,

he's had a good couple of weeks in an extremely depleted defense. only way i can see his spot being in trouble is if Luke McDonald recovers much faster than expected, but atley would probably be the first out in that situation

Who's that

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hope he gets first crack at Pickett. Would love for him to play a pure lockdown role and limit his influence.

 

[Merlin007]

This kid's going okay

 

[Devington]

Just as raw as any of the younger players. See some really good efforts, but also a few deficiencies. We need someone in his role though and right now he's putting his hand up and playing reasonably.

 

[The Warlord]

At this stage he's got a spot and I reckon improvement to make, good pick up.

I forget that he's young enough for the Rising Star. Tons of upside still.

Fijian pride on show as two young guns rise on different paths

Atu Bosenavulagi and Ryan Mann both have Fijian backgrounds and are making their way in different facets of the game

As if Stepho wasn't enough, Atu getting thrown is as steak knives got Ned Guy sacked.

Lemme get this straight..............you don't want Josh Kelly, but Atu is the bargain of the century?

 

[tazaa]

Reckon he got dropped due to a couple of defensive efforts that found him wanting.
He’ll learn from it and come back stronger I’m sure
