[QUOTE="TRF_melon, post: 582181, member: 12250"] Unfortunately Asotasi has been rather quiet over the past couple of season. He's getting tired. This could go one of two ways - joining the Wolves may bring back the player of old, or he may continue his deterioration of quality in to retirement. 2013 has seen him average 8.3 hit-ups per game for an average of 72.3 metres. These statistics pale in comparison to his team mates, the Burgess juggernaut that is Sam and Luke who have played 1 less game, yet have both almost doubled Asotasi's work load. Sam averages 15.8 hit-ups for 139.3m whereas George manages 15@136.7. Looking at the competition bench marks allows one to appreciate how far out of touch with the best Asotasi really is. Cronulla's Paul Gallen and Andrew Fifita case in point. Gallen manages 19.2 hit-ups per game for 175.8m and Fifita 16.9 hit-ups for 147m. Hell, the Broncos fullback Corey Norman has stats as good as the best props in the NRL who are all heads and shoulders above Asotasi. For the Wolves sake I seriously hope Asotasi brings his A-game and finishes his career on a high. [/QUOTE]
