Quote bren2k="bren2k"The highlight reel obviously flatters to deceive, but he looks ready to take the line on and is apparently a self-made good defender; two areas in which Tim Smith was weak. That said, he doesn't appear to have the sublime cut-out pass that Smith used to carve open defences when the mood took him. Overall, probably a more robust player than Smith too, who didn't take a shot especially well - he also looks quicker.
Looks to me like a signing with all the potential to deliver - we need to give him time to settle in and avoid the boo boy reaction that imports often get if they don't smash it from day 1.'"
Couple of points :
Cut out pass. I don't know if you saw the ball he threw to the Samoan Prop Suia Matangi to put him under the post un opposed from dummy when the Kiwi Defence was well set on their Try line ?
That for mine was the cut out pass of the World cup and sat comfortably alongside Tomkins Ball to Hall for the first England Try in the opener.
Dean Whares reverse Pass from outside the field of play a week couple of weeks later trumped those two contenders by some distance to be fair.
The highlights stuff for Godinet on youtube is dated and all of it seems to be from the New South Wales cup....games in which the TV Cameras are there fortnightly at best.
You really don't get a flattering look at Godinet from all the ones I've seen on Youtube.
Most of what he does is consistent right throughout a match provided his forwards are getting over the advantage line.
How Good are Wakefields Go forward men by the way ? I have to admit to knowing very little of the club.
