Sounds like he could be a good find if he gets the game time.
Is he practically similar to Burgess or do they only have a few similar traits in their games?
Seems like he could be a very good buy.
Even on debut for the Wyong team, according to an article from the newspaper in that region, he had a great debut!
Sounds like the kind of hard-line prop we might need to get some vigour back into the side.\
Should be good to see him in action.
I'll ask Sam to confirm it as well.

WYONG unleashed English prop Chris Feather on Central Newcastle with devastating impact yesterday as the Roos powered to a 38-4 victory at Morry Breen Oval.
Feather, who is 1.93 metres tall and weighs 114 kilograms, has played 135 English Super League games with Wakefield, Leeds, Bradford and Castleford.
His debut for Wyong added more quality to the defending premiers' impressive pack.
The 28-year-old scored one four-pointer in the Roos' seven-try blitz, which moved them to the top of the Newcastle Rugby League ladder.
Feather, who is a close friend of South Sydney and England second-rower Sam Burgess, arrived in Australia only a fortnight ago and had a short preparation with the Central Coast club.
"A few NRL clubs wanted him but he just wanted to come back and play at this level and get a job and wants to live here," Wyong coach Paul Stringer said.
"He's just a big unit and what he did for his first game with us was great. He looked real solid."
Wyong were on top of the Butcher Boys from the outset as they raced to a 26-0 lead at half-time through tries to Jamie Davis, Chad Sharp, Bodie O'Connell and a double to Ben Uptin.
"Our first half was the best we've played all year by far," Stringer said. "The boys did everything I asked of them at training and played our game plan to a tee."
Central improved in the second 40 as Callan Richardson crossed, but Wyong scored twice more through Matt Sharp and Feather.
Butcher Boys coach Dean Bosnich said that last Wednesday's physical win over South Newcastle had taken its toll on his players.
"We lacked a lot of enthusiasm and I think playing on Wednesday didn't help. It was hard to back up again," he said. "That's something we talked about during the week and shouldn't be an excuse.
"That's the reality of playing two games in a week. We needed to get back up and didn't."
Wyong received a pre-match boost with news yesterday that winger Josh Mantellato, five-eighth Chad Sharp, second-rower O'Connell and hooker Mitch Williams had been picked in the NSW Country squad to face Queensland Country in Bundaberg next month.
Northern Blues centre Mat Cooper and Western Suburbs fullback Sam Wooden were also selected.
The Newcastle representative team had one more player selected for Country than Illawarra despite losing the Country Championships final to their southern rivals last week.
On Saturday, pressure seemed to get the better of Jade Porter at Maitland Sportsground when he had the chance to kick the Pickers to a victory over Wests after the siren.
The game was locked at 22-all after Jacob Sinclair scored a try in the corner with 45 seconds on the clock.
Porter, who had kicked all other attempts during the match, sprayed the sideline conversion badly.
The Pickers had led 18-0 in the first half before Wests surged back to lead 22-18 before Maitland's late try.
On Friday night Kurri Kurri had a fright against the Blues at home before winning 25-22.

Sounds like the Eels could have another winner and potential future star on their hands.
