Yeh but I get what they are trying to say. It's more about being a cult hero for the thousands of lebs in the area just like how El Masri was. Probably nothing to do with how they play.Aside from them both being Lebanese and outside backs, that's where the similarities end.. Kiraz is twice El Masri's size and is a completely different style of player. Plus he doesn't kick goals..
And set up and finished many. More then just a kicker. He had a special knack for reading the play in defence and stopping the ball on a over lapKiraz runs straight, El Masri ran sideways.
No they just don’t see them as similar players at allI think many people forget how good El Magic was in scoring tries.
All rounder... defence very underrated, could snuff a try like a champion.I think many people forget how good El Magic was in scoring tries.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I wasn't attempting to be disrespectful. Was just pointing out in a very quick way they are nothing alike.And set up and finished many. More then just a kicker. He had a special knack for reading the play in defence and stopping the ball on a over lap
Told you guysCanterbury coach Trent Barrett is confident of keeping Jacob Kiraz at Belmore despite interest from NRL rivals, declaring the local junior “won’t be going anywhere”.
The Bulldogs tabled Kiraz a two-year deal immediately after making a shock debut from outside of the club’s top 30 roster against Brisbane last weekend.
It’s believed that performance helped the St Johns Eagles junior capture the attention of at least three other NRL sides.
But on Thursday, Barrett said the Bulldogs won’t lose the rising outside back for a second time. Having come through the Bulldogs system, Kiraz then moved to St George Illawarra, North Queensland and then Newcastle before returning to Belmore on a train and trial contact.
"He’s a good player, we were lucky to get him back,” Barrett said.
“He’d been away for a couple of years. He didn’t do too much in the pre-season but was terrific last week. He’s not in our top 30 at the moment but he won’t be going anywhere.
“He’s big, he’s athletic and can break a tackle. He’s a good kid too, who is driven and level-headed. We’ve got someone we want to keep here.”
Kiraz was called into Barrett’s side against the Broncos after four players, including centres Brent Naden and Jake Averillo, were sidelined with Covid-19.
The 20-year old will need another exemption from the NRL to play again before round 11.
