[Phalangist]

So good to see this guy back on the park!
Geez, Rajab has really fallen down the pecking order!!

Rajab can’t tackle.

 

[CMP]

This kid could be anything if he stays healthy and puts in the hard yards.

Hopefully between IMB, Todd & Marshall at least one if not all can take the next step. We as well as the whole NRL are so short on Middles. If we can promote from within the future is bright.

Tell ISAAC MATALAVEA-BOOTH to switch his surname so we can call him IBM..

"I Broken Massive ?

 

[D0GMATIC]

Rajab can’t tackle.

I think he blew his chance, when he played with a "Paddle Pop Lion" haircut and didn't perform. Unless you're ROBBO, you can't getaway with that !!!

 

[GoTeamRaRaFunky]

I don't think he's slightly built from the video. Might be a bit deceptive looking at him because he's not got the tapering from chest to waist. He's similar in build to Darren Britt in that he's as broad at the waist as he is through the chest but a good deal taller.

I wouldn't rush him, but I think match fitness might currently be of bigger concern than bulking up. At any rate I hope his development from here is smooth sailing. Looks like a great prospect.

darren britt is 194cm tall

Would be good to see how IBM will progress after his injury. Montgomery has returned playing for the Wyong Roos

Ex-Bulldogs forward returns to the field

He was originally signed to a development contract for this season.

Injury free run now and hopefully develops nicely for us.

Matalavea-Booth is listed at 201cm. But that was in 2022. But my main point was they're similarly shaped.

Good luck to him, it's a shame he didn't stay with us, kid had potential.

Isee Blake Merritt named as a reserve. Heard some real good things about him last year... Anyone got any info on him?

And this guy playing for Mounties... Kenny Soumpholphakdy... Fcuk Dat for a name.

Scored a try too

Scored a try too

Could have scored another one but dropped the ball over the line.

He looked massive, but way overweight. I reckon he's lugging at least 140 kgs, maybe close to 150 just looking at him.

I think It'll be a long long time (if ever) before he is anywhere near ready for NRL footy.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

I just hope he can continue his footy career after the terrible injury he had. The club have obviously given him the time to get right. Now, his focus will probably be on getting fitter and stronger.

A real shame as the bloke certainly has the skills, but if hes way overweight it's gonna take serious gymwork to get him slimmed down.

 

[Lynchpin]

it's gonna take serious gymwork to get him slimmed down.

The kind of work a serious NRL player has to do as a base minimum.
If he has "the right stuff" upstairs, there is no reason he can't start his 2025 pre-season training now, ease through RMC back into NSW Cup and then improving towards a run at 2025.
If he starting shedding a few Kg's, he'll feel better, and as he gets fitter the confidence will start to return and he can (hopefully) put the massive injury setback far behind him. Good luck to the young man. There's much respect just for sticking with the dream after what he's copped. We would all love to see him killing it in our top team.
