NRL: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has stepped up with Reece Walsh sidelined for the majority of the game, scoring back-to-back tries and saving a rampaging Spencer Leniu try.
When Billy Slater named an outside back on his bench and Michael Maguire opted against the strategy, it always seemed like one of the two was going to wake up on Thursday morning looking like a genius.
Especially when Cobbo, standing at 190 centimetres and 99 kilograms, is enough of a physical presence to be a game-breaking option in the middle even if there wasn’t an injury. Slater already established his status in the rugby league pantheon with his accomplished career as a player and now the legendary fullback is on the verge of making history as a coach, just one win away from becoming the fourth to win three series in a row.
“And he’s like one of the boys too. He’s very approachable. He’s not one of the coaches that is hard to talk to.”In fact, Coates said Slater is regularly coming to him with tips to help him become an even better player.“I love trying to get better and he’s always coming with new clips to help you do that.
