[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1110766, member: 72520"] I was in the same boat as you with Tuima but by many accounts he’s finally taking a step up this season. Admittedly, I haven’t had the chance to watch him much but by the sounds of it he’s really upped his fitness and is a lot more dynamic around the park. Just looking at photos of him now I do think it’s very noticeable that he’s shifted some bad weight and added on quite a bit more muscle, particularly on his upper body. I don’t expect him to ever be pushing for international honours or anything (at least for England; although I could potentially see Fiji come sniffing) but he has gone up in my estimations. I see him as a real squad option for Chiefs now, whereas before I thought he was doomed to a career in the Champ after he’d aged out of the Academy. He’s certainly got his work cut out for him though between Tshiunza, Capstick, Fisilau, and Pearson who also seems to have made real progress. [/QUOTE]
