Kouta played only 14 games in his first two seasons, averaged 15 touches in his third then 20 in 25 games in his fourth including 31 touches and 8 marks in the winning Grand Final.
Firstly, Kouta played 30 games in his first two seasons, 8 games in 1993 and 22 in 1994.
Lets make some relevant comparisons, Kouta was Charlie Curnow like in a team that finished 2nd on the ladder in his first two seasons. So without being disrespectful to young Silvagni I think Kouta had far more competition just to win a spot in the team!
I fear for this kid, the expectations on him are massive because of his name, but it means nothing. If his surname was White people would be looking at the very same numbers and claiming he's trade fodder!

Jones was the standout of the backline again. Kudos to that bloke!
FB, you're starting to sound like a real Corne, every game we win it's all about how bad the opposition was, and when we lose it's all about how bad we were! No matter what happens, your posts are all about how crap we are!
