On the eividence on show last night, looks fairly solid and dependable in an Ian Hardman, Dean McGilvray sort of way. Jury still out but a good start.

Give over, he's ahead of those runts already. He has the right physique for a rugby league back, while the likes of Hardman were more suitable as extras in Slumdog Millionaire.

He looked solid, tackled well, has a nice step, and looks roughly as quick as Gardner. I cannot see any reason to not keep him involved and give him a chance in the first team, possibly even at centre against the easy-beats.

I'd say he's, at this moment in time, well ahead of Meli in the pecking order given the fact that he's a British citizen.

In terms of cost-benefit, he's streets ahead of Meli

Brilliant game, keep it up
he's solid for a young lad well done

dont get too carried away
he was up against penny

No, he was up against Chris Hicks.

He saved a 40/20 with an excellent take while tracking back, he aslo fileded a very awkward grubber which I though he was bound to fluff. Took his try very well. Looks solid defensively.

Has anyone actually seen him in the clear? How quick is he?

Not very according to a couple people who have watched and / or played against him.

I know i realised that just after i posted


im not very good at this tolling lark
