He's just kind of stuck between a centre, a 6 and a 13 for me, not quite got the pace or build to be defined to a single one. maybe the oz conditioners will work there magic somehow.
In a good team he could be special, in our team sadly not.
He could be our Wilkin but not without Props.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

I agree with the Wilkin comparison, think he has the potential to go to Oz and come back a much better player than Wilkin though, hopefully.

Why would they need to?
He's not tiny to start with and more then holds his own in defence and attack.
He looks a natural born 13 which is always going to be a hard position to crack here anytime soon.
If he goes to Wests and cracks the first team then good on him. I think he stands a good chance.

He has a far superior work ethic.
Hope he stays out there though myself.

He has all the basic skills the Aussie will love.
I think he'll make a real go of it there and wouldn't be suprised to see him in an England jersey in a few years.

He lacks impact and often loses the collision, he needs to bulk or drop to a 6.
He has great skills and potential but he needs a dominant pack if he is to be a part of it.

Interesting... I don't think anything has been officially announced, but it wouldn't suprise me if Tim Sheens brought him over.
