196cm and 108kg the kid has numbers to play in the front row.

We all know Jake attracts 3 defenders everytime he carts the ball out.

He has the turning circle of a b-double and his lateral movement is quiet poor.

Definitely not suited on the wing especially when we have JAC coming over and Cotric as well.

Kid is a handful and Baz should start the transition of him into a prop.

Not the craziest of ideas...

Only thing is that I think Jayden lacks the prop mentality/aggression, but that could be instilled with the right coaching

Came through the grades as a back rower but was a bit suss defensively.

If he can fix his handling and communication then he could be a great winger for us.

I think wing is his spot, he eally made a huge difference there in 2019 and late last year when he came back. Wingers are basically forwards now anyway taking some of the hardest runs. Will prob take meanies spot when he comes back and then maybe push DWZ for a spot in 2021. Hope he stays injury free.

Wing not happening - complete waste of time as we have JAC, Cotric and DWZ.

He came through in the backrow and as someone said his D was a bit suss. Defence is an attitude thing and can be worked on.

At the end of the day, our current spuds upfront are hopeless in defence and are unfit and this all comes down to Ferris & Baz

He’s too soft to play in the middle mate. We’re stuck with these hacks for the remainder of the year. Thompson will add some punch through the middle but that’s about all we’ve got.

He could definitely transition into the front row, and from Baz's point of view it would be a very short and easy conversation.

We have JAC & Cotric on the wings and there is no room for you on the wing. Work on your defence and fitness and you have a spot in the front row, otherwise you're in NSW cup
