Starford To’a #253

Bro this guy is so good. I don't know how the hell he was let go by Newcastle. Crazy. I had no idea he could play like this.

I believe he and Jock Madden played for the same Australian schoolboys team. Their combo looked smooth. Interestingly, Franklin Pele also played for the same team, and it's been reported that we're very keen on him.

He is one we certainly want to hang on to.
Sure he isn’t perfect yet but he shows a lot of talent & puts in the effort. He is just a baby but he shows lots of promise.
I said last year after watching his highlights video and I saw someone who looks and runs like a footballer, great running style, love it.
 
Even if this is his peak form, he's been an excellent value purchase. Looks particularly good at centre with enough acceleration and size to cause problems.

Hastings and Starford are great value purchases. By contrast, Cleary brought Reynolds and mbye in on 3 times what these two are on.
 
Yah like him, but definitely not at fullback - so bad under the high ball.

He reminds me a little bit of Tui Lolohea.
Moh he's never played there, had a run at fullback a few weeks ago in NSWRL and that's it I think.
He's a winger.
However, if that's where he has to go, I sure he will be kicked heaps of high balls during training and that will help.
Talking it up from the back is a talent and hard to instill though.

I'm pretty sure he was playing fullback a bit in the NSW cup last year. We would have all watched his YouTube highlights after we signed him. I recall he made lots of breaks up the middle.
 
They should put some footballs on drones at training & drop them from the sky for toa to catch because he’ll be tested over the coming weeks under the high ball
