Yes it was reported on 2sm…deal all but done will be at tigers in 2 weeks
I've never even really heard of this guy, definitely haven't seen him play - is he any good? If he is, then why isn't he already playing first grade? Sounds like too much of a gamble to put in such an important spine position, imo.
There was a good deal of hype about the kid when he first made grade a few years ago but he has struggled to become a permanent first grader at the Warriors. Given I don't watch that many Warriors games these days Im not sure whether thats because of flaws in his game or odd selection decisions over that side of the ditch. There is, of course, a fair bit of competition in that backline.
Yeah I rarely see any Warriors games also, hence my ignorance about Lolohea. You and GNR both mention the hot competition for spots in the Warriors backline, so I guess if we can offer this guy a permanent first grade spot he will jump at it. I still think it's a gamble though to have him fill such an important position, but I will have to trust Cleary's judgment on this one.
