A bit more left field our former player and Balmain junior Henry O’Kane has kept at it after being let go by us, is now starting for The Rabbitohs NSW Cup Team and produced very good stats over the weekend.
He is a big body and very mobile for his size, but was a defensive liability when with us. Without actually seeing him play, I highly doubt he would still be in any NSW Cup system unless his defence has improved as it often does for young players in their early 20’s. I’d be keeping a close watch on his progress.
Dean Matterson also produced some good stats over the weekend playing edge back row for the Sea Eagles in NSW Cup. A few years younger than his brother, he has a fair bit of class with ball in hand and would be a very handy back up for us.
Aaron Schoupp also currently with the Sea Eagles has outstanding stats every time he plays NSW Cup, played plenty of good games at NRL level for the Bulldogs a few seasons back and is stuck behind quite a few outside backs at Manly, he would be much closer to NRL game time with us. He’s an extremely powerful ball runner who also excelled playing a few games in the back row at Qld Cup kevel last season, even if we sign Taylan May I’d still be trying to add him and he would be very handy for us right now. Maybe offer Manly their own local junior Josh Feledy in return ?
