thebrewxi Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I genuinely thought he'd be coming home sooner rather than later a couple of weeks ago. He looked world class today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Amazing what playing a prop at prop & giving him the ball to carry can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 World class is pushing it a bit, he had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World class as in looked a class player in the best league. And international shoe in if he keeps that up imho. Maybe semantics in what I think of as world class as definitely not saying dally m, or even best prop in nrl. But looked as good if not better the Tom B yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 He was good . By top NRL standards just good , but the encouraging thing is he’s on an upward curve and i think there’s plenty more to come if they use him to his strengths and he continues to adapt to what’s needed there . It’s a tough spot to come right into mid season , I’m looking forward to seeing him next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSN Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 His first few games were baffling. He probably had the highest decoy to hit up ratio in the NRL. He played well, but wasn't world class. I think he needs a full pre season to get back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunsletgreenandgold Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 His ball running has definitely improved - still a lot of question marks in defence for me. Too many times, even this past week's game, where he was the third man in and got beaten 3 times in one on one tackles - very grabby. He is finding a bit of confidence though and as many of us have said repeatedly, a full preseason and and the Dogs actually being less than terrible will help massively too.

Tex Evans Thigh Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 He'll be fine next season with a good preseason and his bird there with him. I said before, this is a really tough situation for him, joining a bum team, mid-season, having not been able to train for months and having to adapt to a new country in trying circumstances. He should be proud to have got through this phase and look forward to next season. He's a top player and will excel next year in the right environment, people are too reactionary.

sweaty craiq Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 His defence is poor and a lot of his go forward was after quick ptb., will be interesting to see if this can be improved as he doesn’t have the frame of a Sam Burgess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've said on the Gavin Henson thread that he'll be a failure and won't last two games.
