I actually disagree.

I think Tansey has heaps of talent but never worked hard enough at Leeds. He was too greedy with the ball and blew a lot of chances with ball in hand. If they can coach him to pass to the open man over there then I think he could be anything. He has decent speed and I still think he had the best footwork in the club.

I agree, although I don't think he was ever going to impress for us being played on the wing or at hooker.

Tansey did better than I expected. Just the two loose carries/knock ons and only one of those gave the field position for the Sharks to score with the Sharks screwing up the other chance just before the break. I thought such dumb arsed play was reserved for the SL.

He was extremely unlucky to have his try chalked off after a terrible defensive read by the Sharks but it appears their video referees (Russell Smith?) have almost as many issues as ours do.

Yeah, Smith was the video ref. Although in the Wests - Bulldogs game Sunday a try was given when the exact same thing happened. Gus Gould was going mad about the consistancy.

Anyway on the Chook Pen (thier SS) they are all saying that when Mini comes back, Tansey should at least be on the bench if not fighting for a centre spot. 1 thing I have noticed is that he has bulked up a lot.

Agreed, he looks bulkier around the upper body. Minichello is weeks away from a return (isn't he?) so Tansey should see a bit of game time. Anasta spoke fairly highly of him in the post match interview aired on Setanta as well.

To be fair he must have something that coaches can see, and fans can't.

Actually, I could see it.
