Think this kid could be a surprise package for us in 2014\. Just watched some NSW Cup videos from the last few rounds and he's got skill. Good passing game, excellent support play & very hard to stop close to the line.

If you get a chance watch the highlights of the following.

**Round 23: Windsor Vs Wyong (Scores 1 Try)\
\
Round 26: Windsor Vs North Sydney (Scores 2 Try's)\
\
Finals Week 1: Sharks Vs Windsor (Scores 2 Try's - one of which is a great length of the field intercept)**
All can be seen here : http://www.nswrl.com.au/default.aspx?s=multimedia

Think he'll be pretty handy in the Tigers jersey next year.

P.S if you can pick him out he's always in the number 6 jersey.

While i think the kid has talent, why did i have John Grant flashbacks just now

God knows… Fair chance you never even saw John Grant play league!!

 

[system]

Strong runner, deceptively quick, able to thrive in structure and pinpoint general play and goal kicking.

I was wrapped we signed him and hope for the best

Looked good should be a good signing,on a side note I am glad the gummy storm got beat,why should they have 2 NRL sides giving them players,it is not fair to the other teams,hope they get rolled again this week.

And that's funny why?

He looks pretty good at State Cup level. As Smeg said, he looks to be a good runner of the ball and has good speed, he moves across the ground well. Keen to see how he goes in Wests Tigers colours next year that's for sure.

He is a tall #6, his defence looked a bit weak in the QF game….wow their winger is a flyer!.

Sorry , how can some one get excited about someone who didn't crack it at Penrith and only looks a gun when he is playing NSW CUP

I'll wait until he shows his worth as our 6 in top grade

Im guessing you havent seen him play.

There is a lot of potential with this bloke

Guns N Roses - I'm having John Grant flashbacks as well. I thought I was the only one.
Saw him play first grade - had a shocker - try line in front of him wide open and he bombed it. It was against us. All he had to do is put it down. I had to slap myself - it wasn't me - it was him. Never saw him in first grade again.

Yeah, me too ….. Wasn't he the one who bombed a try against us at Penrith Park that day we held them to nil ? The try line was wide open and he stubbed his big toe into the ground and bombed it ! If that's the best he can do .......... :unamused:

Maybe have only seen his less than brilliant games

Then again with our limited options at 6 , he might be the man if Moses isn't in the picture

Because he is at the beginning of his career with a good bit of potential.

He has been set back by injuries a number of times, but mid 2012 was rated high enough to be given a $700k 2 year deal which isn't bad for a rookie, Gus' player clean out meant he left mid contract, no idea if Panthers are picking up some of the bill for him.

He has been on the horizon of first grade for a while now, be good to see what he can achieve with Tigers.

And now Penrith think that Soward is a better option 😱pen_mouth:

That does say something

Happy, two years ago he was the highest rated junior in the game. He reminds me of where O'Donnell was in 2003 and Fifita in 2011\. Sometimes a change of club is needed to focus a young player.

He will do good.
