At RU, he was almost certain to play for Wales at international level until his head exploded.
There is a positive here. If he's still got the desire then physically his body has not taken much punishment Could have a few years in him.
His style is perfect for RL, fairly elusive and fast but not unhappy driving the ball in.
He's also aggressive, obviously, but lets hope that's now controlled aggression. He will give the likes of French a far harder time than Lineham ever would but then so would I.
I think I would as well tbh Vasty..... Actually, along with most on here.....

Not sure of the vintage of some of this but the lad can clearly play, pretty extensive highlights.
I can see what Cummins means about him being a RL winger whose just never played the game. He has that look about his style of play but we have all heard that before.

Some of the tackling (attempted) reminded me of last Sunday. Put the lad in on Sunday with Lewis Murphy on the other wing. We've nothing to lose as no one expects us to win (plenty of us HOPE we win), it's a 'free hit'.

To be honest I don’t think the tackling in RL is any better than RU these days.
Certainly seems to have plenty of attributes. Pace, strength, body swerve and side step. Fingers crossed . As for what happened in the past is in the past. The lad was punished and I feel he deserves a chance
