Is he prop or second row?
tackle efficiency is 96%

26 in a couple of months, yet to crack first grade?????????????
Followed Rip Taylor over from the Wyong Roos. Rip must have an opinion of him to recruit him
Looks like a young Tony Williams
Exactly what I thought! With better lateral movement.
He might run the ball at NRL standard but if he doesn't have an NRL standard work rate he would be a massive liability in defence. Remember, if he's contracted to Wentworthville it means 16 NRL clubs didn't think he was worth a top 30 spot. Even Mitch Allgood and Andrew Davey have NRL contracts.
But he can probably run over the top of plenty of reserve graders.
