I must admit, he looked great at times, but he was average for majority of the game. He wasn't supporting Hoppa when Reynolds was terrorising him for those floating bombs.

If true it will be sad to see him go.
My bet is we don't sign anyone and just promote from within."

I'm probably the only person that thinks this but I prefer Taka than Hoppa as centre
Those were 2 quality tries for a bloke playing his 1st starting NRL game.
Impressive.
