NTU legend Ah Lian feels the NTU wingers find it hard to accept having quiet periods in games.

For example, Wingers play a key role in Bedok Kings topping the Premiership table in Oct.

Now in their 2nd campaign at NTU, the wingers are steadily maturing, with Ah Lian full of admiration for their talents.

Wingers like ASH, won the 'Most Improved Player' at SRC, and Emery 'sub 10' ong leading SRC's all time top try scorer record.

But the experienced niao niao Lian has pinpointed areas of their game that still require improvement before they can become fully attuned to NTU's style of play.

"The 2 wingers can do things that no other player can do," said Lian in an interview in the NTU Opus.

"Now they need to learn how to play that position right because the way NTU play, as a winger you need to work hard and get into all the right positions."

"When I came into the team I used to sprint back to help the full-back, but that had been drilled into me from my days in Saints."

"ASH and EM never grew up with that."

"It's hard for them, I think, because they want the ball all the time."

"Sometimes, as a winger, you don't touch the ball for five minutes and you have to rely on others to give it to you - and that's hard for him."

"They should get involve all the time, they have the abilities to create problems for oppositions."
