I think he's been great so far. Very promising. As Stevetiger says, he's only good for about 20 minutes, but that's typical for someone his age.

you didnt see Ava coming on either… Forwards can be tricky to spot coming on. Aloiai will serve us well, a good extension.
Good resigning, he's been solid so far this year and shown more than some of the "leaders".
Although interesting that it's another player off contract at the end of 2017? I know the cap will go up, but gee we have a huge amount of players off contract at the end of next year. Good and bad position to be in…we can keep who we want and cut loose some of the dead weight, but we could also potentially lose some of our best and be paying overs to get players to join. It's a bit of a 50/50 call IMO.
Also having so many players off contract at the same time could be a huge distraction within the playing group.

Long as it's a quality 20 minutes and we're not paying overs. We struggle from the 30-50 minute mark, so a kid who can fill that gap is a welcome addition to the bench. At the right price of course.
Better than an expensive 80 minute plodder.
20 years old more than holding his own…Good signing that's not breaking the bank giving a lot of value...
Well done Josh...

Fulton's early games were woeful. Gibbs improved every year for ages.

I agree. I think you can work on the lack of quality minutes as well.

For a young bloke finding his feet in 1st grade I think he has been good. Is versatile and hopefully will improve with experience

To be signed on a 1 year deal you know he would of not cost alot . I think a $120k - 140k would of been the going rate for him next year ( i'm guessing ).
Congrats to the kid has taken his chances with both hands and should only keep getting better.
Gee and to think that we are probably paying Sirro 2 to 3 times more makes me sick .

I don't understand the hate for him. He is 20 years old having not really played at all last year. Sure he has made a couple of mistakes but he is having a crack. He is more aggressive than most of our forwards and has so much potential. Personally i'm stoked that he has been given an extension and i hope this will be the first of many as he improves in the future.

Congrats to the young fella, I really think this guy will be something special. A big unit that hits hard and having more of a go than some of our more high profile players. At 20yrs old he will only get better with the more experience he gets in the top grade. I'm really happy with this resigning
