Pele : Mon Feb 17, 2025 12:44 pm  

Thought Pele was a big influence on the game yesterday, when he came on he really got us some forward momentum.

I would like to see us get more use out of him. Too often we don't seem to have the right structure to our plays to get the best out of him. He can end up taking the ball stood still and that negates his attributes. I think if we can get some set plays sorted where we get him hitting the ball at pace against some smaller players or where we can use him as a dummy runner then we'd get far more out o him. One I hope the coaches pick up on as we go along.

He has slimmed down a bit this year so doesn't seem to take as much stopping..
But he had a superb game yesterday and we can probably get more out of him, he is only going to get better with age.
Def one for SL 26 if we made it, as with OK and Blake

Pele will benefit from a firm track

Stepping into the shoes that Eribe Doro left. Has the potential to be a devastating impact player.

Has Doro got into the HKR squad yet? Hope he gets a chance and doesn't get farmed out on loan. Pele hasn't the workrate or fitness of Doro yet IMO he's more of an impact player whereas Doro can do more minutes.

I think Doro missed out on the initial HKR squad as he was banned from last season, but then the RFL decided on a clean slate, so he should be available.
