Watched him a fair bit over the last 5 years. He’s a really exciting player, but that doesn’t make him great. He’s incredibly hard to stop close to the line, pretty good in the air, and can skittle defenders coming out his own end. But he can also come flying in like that, drop the ball cold, and he’s not particularly quick. I’m trying to think of a similar player off the top of my head, but struggling. Konrad Hurrell but on the wing.
Will get crowds excited, and could score 3 against us. Also could hand the game to us on a plate.

That is bad. I was sort of looking forward to seeing him play. He wasn't called the King of Combank for nothing. If you're a winger, you can be excused some lapses if you score enough, and he did. Whatever issues he had that stopped him being a regular at Parramatta in his final season, Brad Arthur was the coach at Parramatta and signed him for Leeds, so he knew what he was getting. I had the impression it was some off-field discipline issues, but was getting banned a few times as well for reckless hits.
He'd have been a good watch though. A shame. I'd have preferred just a one game injury.
