Yeah he plays for Leigh, Edwin Ipape. He has been seen as a top Hooker in SL for a while yet has never made the jump to NRL. I bet he goes to Perth or PNG (of course) when they come in.
He's the type we need a tough rugged defender with the athleticism in attack to worry teams for not much cap guys like him are the key.Urgent Athlete also.

If you cast your mind back to the beginning of the season he made a ton of errors, dropped balls, pushed passes, I can remember him walking through the opposition play the ball to concede a penalty. If you read through the comments pertaining to him early in the season plenty were saying he should be dropped or wasn't ready for first grade. Amazing, we move forward to now and we should be trying to emulate him. Imagine if he was never given that opportunity, a bit of patience and the necessary support.
Not to be a negative Nellie but he was very average in the first half. Little involvement both sides of the ball and a knock on. In saying that he will be great for us next year and will be a walk up starter.
"Two caveats. 1) Casey McClean is a talent (selected for Kiwis) but played played half a season in Cup and first dozen (?) games at wing in FG, so he is not a good metric for assessing 6/7 into FG? 2) Everyone hopes the Eels can birth their next 5/8…"

Kit kit was starting to fire b4 the injury. Him and Jack would be my starting backrow.
Brilliant. He really was coming on before the injury. Hope he is able to continue that form in 26
