Good bloke but I just can't see him pushing some of our fwds out of a spot.
Purely to cover injuries one would think.

Great cover though.

To be quite honest, this guy is nowhere near being first grade standard. He is the epitome of what we don't want in our team. We need aggressive, powerful forwards that bend the line. He consistently gets shoved back or straight out smashed. To give him his due, he is a hard worker in defence.
Don't forget he steamrolled Kikau and then mocked him...
Give him a chance.
He'll come good.

Don't think so Demps. He was starting to show promise before his injury at the end of 2021. Last year he was pedestrian.

If I had to be ruthless about it right now he would be on the let go list but if I have the chance to bide my on him then I would. I reckon he is another forward we have had to bring up a little early coz the so called first graders we had were crap. If he had a bit extra time to come through the grades and be graded into firsts with descent forwards around him I reckon he would have benefited.

Did you ever watch him in the lower grades. He killed them. He would get smashed there as well. He gets smashed but hits it up on the next hit just as hard.
He has a ticker in that his last run is as good as his first run.
He was playing on the edge in first grade and still doing a decent job.
He isn't going to be the guy who gets us going forward like Stef, Pole, Klemmer etc. He will though be all over the park working hard if those guys get us going forward.
I get the issue though. Players like Pele for instance who can come on and bash and barge for 20 minutes and then be replaced can offer the team something more than a guy who can go for 60 minutes but not produce that 20 minutes of impact.
I'm a fan and I always have been. I met him and he was a nice bloke as well. He is a big dude.
I reckon he is awesome depth.
I think he'll spend most of the year in cup.
He'll likely fill in for injuries and whatnot and do a job.
He'll get better.

I like your optimism. I respect his effort, I just don't think he has the necessary athletic ability.

That's the thing Earl. Nice guy, tries hard but in the end is not the type of player who is going to move the needle.

The type of bloke who would be great to have as long term depth player who brings enthusiasm to group with a bit of cranky when given an opportunity. The trick is that he has to accept that as the position and not kick stones.

I think he’s similar value to Eisenhuth who played more often than not for the premiers last year?

Absolutely!

Yeah I hear ya, and I was saying he’d of benefited with better surroundings, but who knows if there was better cattle around he may never have played nrl. So there is certainly a debate for both sides and I think a lot of us have seen so many players come through our club devoid of passion we really want someone who does show it to succeed. But that is when the rose coloured glasses need to come off.

move him on from top 30 and use the spot for Nathan Brown subsidised by parramatta

Not for Nathan Brown, he’s just another level of average.

I know, how does someone so big not have more impact. Look at Klem at that age and that is what sayfart should be looking to emulate
