Moves very well and looks extremely elusive, hopefully he isn't dumbed down by the rest of the squad. We really need to get some quality into the squad to support these young guys so they can actually develop how they're meant to.

It's pretty obvious isn't it? Clearly Baz has a hard on for Katoa due to the Penrith connection. The dumb thing is, he can still leave Katoa on at lock and put BBO on if he wants. Either way it's moronic to only play him 30 minutes when he was our most impactful player

My only explanation is that he’s protecting the kid. Katoa is gone next year anyway. Seems to be the only logical reason.
I think so. How many times have we seen a kid come through and show some positive signs only to have their confidence beat to shit after a few games and regress.

I don't mind him coming off the bench and playing somewhat limited minutes for that reason but there's no reason he can't play 45-50 minutes. He should have come back on earlier than he did in the second half when it was 18 all.

Been waiting for this kid to get given time in FG for last few years. Kid has very special talent. Put him among Burton Fox etc next year and he will kill it even more. Im sure he is a half and not a hooker either.

He definitely look good and with a bright future. Things happen for him, he’s composed, thinks, and plays what he sees.

We don't have time to wait and see. Even if BBO is amazing until the end of the year we need to sign a quality hooker for next year or the year after (23) come November. We've been F'd at hooker for far too long (people were saying the same thing regarding Deitz). I really like BBO tho and I think he has a future in the 7 jersey (at least very good competition there).
The kid deserves an opportunity,he has good hands ,pace ,definitely a player for the future.

He can kick an odd 40/20 once in 10 games.
