PATRICK TUIPULOTU

After a disappointing 2017, this must be the year for lock Tuipulotu to shine. He has the physical attributes – he is a huge lump of a man who must be a fearsome sight when he winds up to full pace and runs at players and that’s really what he has to do. Forget the fancy stuff – go out and hurt people consistently with and without the ball and if he does that the Blues should be on the front foot.
