What's everyone's opinion on this bloke? I watched the state cup game today and he looked the goods. He is big, quick and runs hard. Thoughts?

 

[Milky]

Potter rates him. Currently in the top 25.

 

[Tigersman]

He's probably our backup Centre if Lulia goes down he's got some really good foot work and can run like a forward.

 

[MightyTiger]

He is better than Lulia. At lead the asks the defence some questions when he is carry the ball. I would rather see him in FG than Lulia.

 

[Guest]

I'd have him playing FG before Lulia. He's done his trade in NYC and State Cup and has done it well.

 

[Newtown]

I would rather have him available for FG selection than not available. Will give a good account of himself.

Again from the limited games I have seen , my concern would be his lateral movement in the centres

You only have to lose half a metre in 10 and you are screwed

 

[balmain boy]

Although he hasn't played first grade yet, he certainly looks to be far better in both attack and defence than both Lawrence and Lulia.

His lateral defence may not be the greatest, but Lawrence and Lulia both have awful lateral defence, so there's no loss there. And he can attack the line, offload, pass. Give him a shot.

Always had a big wrap on this kid… Perfect for the Bench as he can play Backrow and Centre.

Hopefully his time isn't too far away... We will never know if we don't give him a go!!!

Agree with Watto. He stood out more when playing back row and being around the ball, but definitely has a class about him.
Looks like he is not 100% at home in the centres though still young and a keeper I reckon.

 

[Goose]

I ve always rated him as probably just shy of NRL, but possible back up, similar to Rowe.

Havent seen much NSW cup this year, so he may have really kicked on thsi year and Ive missed it.

Ditto watto, fine has real potential and should be given f/g game time sooner than later
