1. Hasnt gotten a spot in 1st grade much, their backline isnt the most impressive
2. Out of all the backline besides steve michael he is the least average player they have in the backline
After watching the first half of tonights game verse the warriors, he has made a few average runs, one fumble and regather in goal, one knock back to toopi's try and a few average tackles. I just think he has been pretty average out of all the backline he and michaels would be the last two players i would wanna chase.
I am not saying he wont be a good buy but if we are going to chase him then it should be for the RIGHT dollars, he should sign him on the wage he is worth not what we think he will be like or what others will pay.
We the eels in the past(mortimer) have payed big dollars for players that other teams want and not the right dollars we wanna pay. Hopefully after the release of inu and mateo they may be realising that we should offer players their worth not their potential or what other teams will pay.
The signing of webb and matua makes me think we may be realizing that we do this too often, we seem to have gotten these players on our own terms, payed what we wanted and maybe (being unwanted) they will perform and be worth the dollars.

In fact, he's probably even there for cover as Grothe should he get injured again during the course of the year.
yes he came off the wing a few times and see him get smashed by manu vateveu, what a run.
are you saying hes good or am misreading ?
he is a sizable lad buti dont think hes been bought as cover as grothe. we have a couple large outside backs at wentworthville and under 20's. he maybe viewed as an alternative in the centres. i thought his tries to games ratio was better though. had some injuries that though that have stopped his momentum at titans and gone to the back of the queue it would seem.
Height : 189 cm
Weight : 96 kg
Position : Centre / Wing
28 games for 8 tries
his scoring rate as a winger isnt very good you posted 8 trys in 28 games is crap. how many games this year has he played in first grade? if he hasnt played many and cant get into the backline of the titans then why do we need him.
I think we should stick with our wingers, as said we have many young players that can step up if necessary to play on the wing, we should be focusing on the half,5/8 or hooker.
That is a question that only DA, Ozzie and the board would know.
He wouldn't command much in the long-run so I guess it's alright in some ways.
