I didn't see this coming. A young lad making his way in the game, with a lot to prove. Well done to every-one involved in signing this player. UTR

 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Very excited by this signing! He's a fast aggressive player. Will be hungry to get stuck in and show everyone what he's about. 

 

Just another half to keep the options up and we'll be set

[bigbaldnmad]

Really like this, shows ambition in getting over the line this year.

[Daft old hooker]

Excellent news 

[Phil Briscoe]

Brilliant news I think this year might finally be our year! 

[POR]

I wonder to get him now  we have come to an agreement with the titans and said if we go up we will  give him a year In SL 

[lingaro]

Sort of signing Leighs were making last season. I'm impressed  

[jamescolin]

Should I say Hurrah!! Or use parts of his name and say AR  HA.

[jamescolin]

Whats left after I have taken those letters out could be read as Hammer You. AMA U.  His ability is in his name.

I agree this is an exciting signing and well done to the club for getting it over the line.

Worth pointing to temper expectations that he is still very raw, hasn't played Queensland Cup yet let alone NRL, so in effect he hasn't played against men yet (only U21s) as far as I can tell, but then the same could be said for Harry Newman etc when they played for us on DR as teenagers  and of course it's even tougher to break into an NRL team, and he has been in an NRL training environment.

My guess is regarding the agreement with Titans, if he goes well I suspect it will be less a case of "we will give him a year in SL" than "please can we have him for a year in SL"!

Maybe it’s a similar kind of situation as Eseh, another young prob, albeit he’d had experience of playing against men. At the end of the day, there’s little to lose, and a potential massive upside given his potential.

   I don't know anything about him but if he can have a few games in the Championship it can only help his development.Hope he is not put under too much pressure before he settles in.If he does a similar job as Eseh  that would be good.

[Gooleboy]

I am really looking forward to seeing this lad play for us.

[POR]

HE may have only played against U/21's but apparently he is a big unit with all the  skills, .so don't think stepping up to the championship will be overwhelming for him and I don't think he will be under any pressure to perform it's not like he is an NRL  superstar with a reputation to uphold

Bottom line were not bringing him half way round the world to sit him in the stand so what is the best way to  utilise his undoubted talents I think bringing him off the bench the same time as McKenzie running at some tired defenders is the way to GO

[The Phantom Horseman]

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a really exciting signing, I'd much sooner we go down this route than bringing in someone in his mid-30s from Elite 1. It sounds like he's seen exclusively as a back row these days despite having played in a loose forward-type role earlier in his career so he's probably competiting with the likes of Day and Bussey for game time.

[Daft old hooker]

Hopefully will give us a bit more strike power in the edges.

[lingaro]

Might be playing centre for the rest of the season by the looks of it.
