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.

It's only his second game and he can only improve, but calling him a young superstar on the rise is a bit much.

He has a very bright future at center and looked excellent yesterday with the ball in hand, but he also showed his poor positioning on the wing. Swap them BA.

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.
