He's been poor , but may expectations were unreasonably high.

I hope he puts me back in my box and blows us away with some class over the coming few weeks.....God knows, we need it!!

Seems to be settling into the squad well enough anyway -> Invalid consumer key/secret in configuration

Slight improvement last night, looks fairly good in patches, as someone posted on the match thread, always capable of doing some thing off the cuff. That's not good enough for me. Come on Fetu'u let's front up and rise up !!!! the jury is still out.

As well as looking like someone who can do something off the cuff, he also looks like someone who could have a brain fart at anytime. Lets hope that doesn't happen. Well played Fetu'u lets hope your saving your A game for the big guns

He was a little better last night, showed some good pace and elusiveness at times, but really not sure a player of his type will be suited to our style of play, particularly as the winter kicks in and the Sportsground becomes hell on earth. Time will tell.

I agree with the point about possession. Any that we did have was not spread wide very much at all, and when it was the players were isolated. We do need to widen our attack.

I'm sure he has the talent, but whether we can get the most out of it is a different story.

He was poor to be fair, but as everyone pointed out, just one game in and looked off the pace. Will take a while to settle in so hopefully we'll see more positive things going forward.

One game with new teammates, coming back from injury in a new environment and in a team that's ahd a few weeks inactivity too. I'd personally rather he shows steady progress than scores a couple of tries on debut and then crashes under the weight of expectation for the rest of the season.

Look as good as he is, as a winger he's totally relaiant on the possesion that we win, and the way it's distributed.

In the Cardiff game we had a third of possesion and territory in the first half (incredible that we had an 11 point lead at half time really) and a little better in the second, but we didn't flow in the backs. It'll take games...

Troy hit some rucks that night.

Anyone remember Troy Nathan's debut for Connacht???  :'( :'( :'(

He turned out alright.

Poor showing, alright, but I remember screaming about Tuohy after his first match for Connacht. He has turned out alright. Will be interesting to see how he improves.

True Tuohy has turned out alright but with we are looking at a different level of expectation considering this guys past and the contrast in what he's likely to be earning in comparison to Tuohy.

No need to turn against him immediately but he's under pressure from the off after Friday, hopefully we'll see what he's capable of against Ulster.

The comments, since I posted that I was not impressed have all been along the same lines. I just hope that he turns in some great performances for us in the future.
Somehow I think he will find it difficult. But having said that, form is now, Class is permanent . The Jury is out.
Prove me wrong Fetu'u.

Looks to me like a fella who won't appreciate the rain and wind and the wet ball. We need more. Time will tell

Eh you ever been to N? It rains bucketloads, South Island makes Galway look mediterranean...
