Winger/centre/edge forward, he would excel in all those positions.

I think that's the project Gus is working on him.

I'd actually have him centre next to JAC next week, especially with Kiks back.
Sounds good for next year. Maybe keep his confidence developing on the wing and on the right side. Already seems at home in first grade.

Those stats today are extraordinary against the best team in the comp. Especially starting in just his second game.
Imagine if Kiraz could pass the ball he would’ve went even better

His stats were great last week but even better this week against the best team for the last 4-5 years.

This kid can be anything, very high ceiling.

Great effort and most importantly didn’t throw the towel in after a few errors.
He showed plenty of ticker to redeem-some of our others should be paying attention.
I know you called him out some time ago very good eye.
He is very humble bro, he didn't whinge at all getting ignored by the assistant for so long. All the boys love and respect him.

And that's a bulletproof fact.

True. First two games starting against the top 2 teams. Decent introduction to the top grade.

You just hope we can be a club that improves a player like this. Don’t have any confidence though

Well from my bulletproof source ages ago, Skelton is Gus' project and not CC's. So that's a plus...

Kids a real find. And to think he has only 12months rugby league experience.

Just imagine if we had a decent forward pack pushing the defence back and giving this kid early ball.

The club better not get this one wrong FMD.
And to think the coaches picked every other outside back ahead of Skelton FFS

Accidental hero now and making the coaches look silly (sillier)

He has all the makings to slot into any of those positions.

Personally I’d have him on the wings with Crichton inside him.

1000%

I’m surprised they didn’t play okunbor back there when they bled all those rookies that week.

I don’t care accidental or not as long as they don’t backflip and fuck this one up. Which if history is anything to go by, they’re bound to real soon

There’s rocks and there’s diamonds. This kid is polishing up well. Great to see some talent coming through despite the season we’re having

And for some reason we keep playing him out of position in nsw cup
Seems to be the club culture now (I'm sure it will end well).
* Okunbor at 2nd row.
* Perham at Fullback.
* Waddell at Lock.
* Averillo at Centre (while Hayze is at Fullback)
* Wilson on Wing (while Hayze is at Fullback)
* Khaled to Fullback (while Papa is on the wing).
* Drop Perham to reggies, play him in Centres, and then recall him to Fullback in 1sts.

You have to wonder if our "coaches" are sharing a brain cell.
