Have not seen him play, but nearly every on the NRL website weekly under 20's report his name is mentioned, is really that good it seems we have Semi's replacement.

I seen him at the start of the year real power house. People said he had a lot of clubs chasing him. Not as tall as semi. I wouldn't pay money for a winger. We have plenty. I said the same about king. People wanted to buy the Penrith when king is better.
He is still in development but has shown a lot in the 20s to suggest he could make it.
He isn't like a Hayne or Tom Trbovavich (yes i know my spelling is terrible) who were obviously too good for that level but he is still one of the better wingers currently in the 20s comp for any team.
He is a funny player quite stocky and looks a bit short for a modern winger. Likes to drift infield and run outside in as well. When he runs the ball he goes straight into the defence, has no sense of self preservation, bounces back then goes again. His post contact metres are amazing.
Would not surprise to see him move into the forwards at some stage.
"Risati won't be a centre. He will be in the halves for sure. Cant say who will be better out of the 2 since Lorenzo has barely played cup whilst Risati is only playing SG balll for the first time next year. Must see them when they are consistently…"
"I'm not suggesting throwing Lorenzo or any other young player in there now, they aren't ready, my point is they still won't be ready for a start in 2027 either so are we going to sign another 1 year stop gap 6 for 2027?."
"Thanks KN/ EA. Just checking my gut feeling. Hopefully, he stays & makes good on his potential. I like his upside: footy nous, big body, kicking game, goal-kicker. Ain't many sixes offering all that. He's called by many in RU as a "Sua'ali'i clone…"

Greg, Honeti, French. I don't think all can be accommodated. We become too small to size up against big bodied teams.
