He can play. I'm happy he will be getting a start and I wish him all the best.
His communication in defence with his centres is vital so we'll see what happens.
Wests Tigers (Hodgo & Benji) run sideways out wide, dummying inside as they go so it could be pretty tricky for him if he takes the wrong defensive options. I'd be teaming him up with Lolesi inside him that way Jamal can adapt to what Filinga does if he gets a bit lost in defence.
The big question is will he be opposing Pat Richards (trouble!!) or Daniel Fitzhenry ?
Should be a good game.
Go the Dogs !
