He's been improving gradually. His size gives him a pretty decent advantage and like a few players he might get to his best as he gains experience. Can't think of the big Broncos winger who started out full of errors, but he's become an asset.

I think the scandal he was involved in and the time out of the game with this injury could be the key to getting him focused on getting very serious about making the rest of his career something to remember. Hopefully he's able to earn everyones respect when he gets back into the starting side.

Fine tunes his handling and finishing ability and resist coming off his wing in defence he could be a weapon.

He’s still learning how to play football. How to not drop the ball, how to make meters when you don’t have a 20m run up, how to tackle with your shoulder...can he step yet? These are the basics of being an NRL winger

He was predominantly a backrower early on in the piece, so he is a work in progress. But if he improves in a few areas he will be a weapon!

If he was a backrower growing up as you say it may be interesting to see him back there as an experiment. Him getting more ball running wide at a half is an exciting prospect. As I recall he made a speed bump out of cam s a couple of times in a match...that would be great to see more often!

If he stays focused and committed to learning and improving, he could become our Radradra.

People seem to forget that Semi was bog average for a few years, same goes with Dale Finucane. Now majority of people froth over them. Give the bloke some time!

I reckon that mop on his head hinders his ability.. he should cut it off if he wants to get serious about league..

I think he has a lot of potential, just needs some consistency..
I am afraid of what might happen...
Remember Samson lost his strength after Delilah gave him a haircut :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:

but but he ran over cam smith
2 good runs makes a first grader
Sign him for life
He looks like idris
Both he and Meaney will be let go
I agree with a lot of what you have to say but not here. On potential alone I won’t write him off if he stays injury/suspension free and can have a decent shot at first grade

I appreciate your honesty and opinion mate
I just don’t rate him at all
Coming through the junior system watched him heaps and has always promised a lot and delivered little
Hope he can prove me wrong and kill it
