He will be our Billy Burns then for next season. Solid experienced backrower who is probably too good for NSW Cup & solid depth for NRL, nothing more.

Anyone who has watched him closely know what his effort areas are like especially kick-chase as that is important for a backrower in today's game and something Benji values highly?

Any draft is a restraint of trade - and the Terry Hill common law precedent cannot be re-written without consent of EVERY player who aspires to play NRL!

The NBA/NFL/MLB drafts are only viable because of the College ranks serving as their independent pathway system - and players nominating for the draft at their preferred development stages!

Any rugby league draft only serves as a disincentive for NRL clubs invest into player development & local pathways - and the entire development system would be blown up!

The VFL/AFL draft is a symptom of a bottom-feeding nothing sport run by a front office with absolute power - and no other options for kids who want to professionally play that sack of garbage!

The development systems in the afl academies seem to be fine. Terry Hill already had a contract signed with Wests when he had been drafted by the Roosters. But if players are off contract where's the precedent. In terms of how the games run. I love league but it's a mickey mouse semi professional comp.

Good signing if we are letting Staines and Naden go. Can play but injury prone.

If there is any truth to the story about him being critical of Wests Tigers over the Galvin saga then surely he has a severe case of foot in mouth disease in addition to any other injuries that he may have.

PASS.

The AFL is a banana republic - not sure how those Academies work for the remote WA/NT & Tiwi Islander kids etc.

The NRL is heading that way too - but the Hill case precedent is black & white!

There can NEVER be a draft regardless of the RLPA - as any single player who may be excluded or aggrieved who challenges it in court will WIN - as it is a blatant restraint of trade under Australian common law...
