the fact is he came on fresh with 20 to go and looked like he been playing the 80.
he made Leilua look like an iron man.
Point is i would not replace lawrence with a rookie.
He can't jump straight into Lawrence's starting position..
That's high risk.
He'll get Matt Groat'ed.
Off the bench next game.

I always feel (and I imagine look) most gassed after my first big effort in a game or in the first 5 minutes of a run, it could just be his aerobic system kicking into gear. I wasn't paying close attention to him so I don't know what you were seeing, just a possible explanation.

agree
But think Twal would be better served on bench.

He'll be there too….. Be crazy to not have him in the 17 again.

Agree I am a fan of him because of the work he has done in ISP but starting him in the 2nd row would be a huge risk and not worth it.
Remember we are playing Souths who are the best team in the comp and interchanges will be very important so burning one early would be costly in the 2nd half.
He was gassed after his short stint yesterday which is to be expected in a debut NRL game with no stoppages.
Was happy to see him get his debut. We didn't really have the ball much when he was on but he put a couple nice shots on.
He had a great game prior to getting injured.
Really uncovered a gem with this guy I think.
Looks a lot similar in build to Lawrence a few years ago so hopefully he can fill out.
Looking forward to seeing him progress and make that position his own.
Speaking of Lawrence, this guy made the same transition from wing to second row forward just like Chris… Only quicker and looks at home. Like the red boots too.

I really like the look of him. Give him the rest of the season to prove himself. Impressive, motivated and keen…

He has incrementally improved in each grade to get to the NRL. Hopefully we can see more of lower graders develop into NRL players.

I like him.
Good work rate and has an athetic style of change. His angle changes were good. Need to see more before I Get to excited but it was better than I Thought it would be.

Success story.
Just identified what he needed to do to make the grade and put the work in.
Reaping the rewards now and I hope and think this progression will continue.
A player we've needed for years imo.
Along with Twal, our future is looking good, good pack players.
Looks the goods.

He was a dud tonight.
Possible worst on field.
Was out hiding in the centres often and continually making errors.
Souths won't miss him..
Over rated.

Do you think Nick will try and move him on prior to next season?
