Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

why are people suggesting hes small, for a 19 year old im sure thats twal on the left there, he seems to already have some of ours starters covered, 6'4 96kg is not small for a 19 year old lmao

The pictures are very deceiving (the ones of him singing on)

Make him look like a schoolboy.
He's not small at all but could bulk up.

I have watched plenty of promo reels of players but I have never seen the sort of tackling style of this young man. He is brutal and actually pushes players back! Then he ran! WoW! What a step. I know it was when he 16 but he sounded confident and backed it up with effort. How on God's Earth did we get this lucky? I'm watching Winning Time ATM - about the rise of the LA Lakers - It's as if Magic Johnson had just arrived at The LA Lakers! Well done to the recruitment team!

just keeps driving forward,attack n defence

Needs to hit the weights let's hope he is a goodin

Sure, Femi needs to hit the weights a little. But that is not a big problem at this stage.

Muscle mass and weight put on too fast hinder speed. Build him up slowly and steadily... He will then have the Muscle and speed to go with it.
Guy looks like my African mate, who single handedly carried the Engine out of my car!

At his age isn't it the time to build strength in quads and hammies before he reaches 21.
I think I read in a journal that between 17-21 muscle fibres develope closer to the bone that is harder to do when you get older than 21.
Could of misread it like I do on this forum 🤣

They started chasing Sammy when he was 19/20 I think he was playing NRL at 21 he played some amazing footy for South's

sign albert kelly

Not a good idea, he might step on Brooksy's toes.

 

[rah53]

A lot of defensive highlights for him, which is a good thing in my mind. With that big arm span, he should be able to help shore up the middle in defence. Just needs to add more size to that frame. Has a bit of speed as well for a prop.

Interesting prospect

Need to remember he wanted to come to Australia, signed with a local agency, who offered him to half the league. It's not as if we'd been scouting him on our own accord for a while and targeted his signing. Ours was the best offer he had on the table. I imagine some other clubs may have offered him 2 year deals so maybe it was the 3rd that got him over the line.

He might end up being a backrower, 193cm is a good frame to build off.
