Wrongness alone: well there’s two of them so I don’t know which to rate! Hahahahaha but in reality about a 22/25, much potential !!

 

[Masterton]

this doesn't seem to be a common opinion, but I thought his full game for Melby showed plenty of potential.

Yep ... it’s the ones the other clubs reject that make Wests Tigers the best !

@Masterton I’m keen to see his progression, looks like he will be turned into a hooker and I like it if so, has the potential to be a good hooker, his defence alone is great. He can also kick goals, good kicking game and just needs to give good service to his halves. Let’s just hope he has the motor.

As I recall, he made a bundle of tackles for a 5/8.

Feel like there is more upside to this signing than people think... time will tell.

A classical technique that all ends up floored one of the opposition players. I like it.

Easts Tigers v Falcons on Fox now..

Walters in 6 for Easts..

I like this the guy has pedigree and talent, also comes from a hard arse system in storm which I think Madge is trying to install in our sooks...
