I’m not sure all the details of his controversy but from what it looks like, he had sex with a very young girl that was only just legal (when he was 23) whilst he was doing school visits. Does that make her 18 or 16?
Either way it doesn’t really sit well with me as it’s an abuse of power.
2 of our signings this year I would’ve avoided. Let’s hope they at least perform on the pitch.
In addition to the controversial nature of the signing what the Canterbury fans say on their forum (The Kennel) playing wise doesn't make for great reading.
Still there has been many players who have been written off in the NRL who have excelled in SL.
