Fair effort in a preliminary final when down by couple of goals at 3/4 time.

Yeah, but could he do it on a cold, wet & windy Tuesday night in Stoke?

Looks like also might have the potential to fill a need on the wing..

I wonder if he could play half back?

 

[of unsound mind]

Haven’t seen much of him, but when looking up stats and strengths before the draft, thought he stacked up. Tiges obviously watched him play and thought so. Not expecting him to be a star, but fast, skilled players with game nous, especially if he stands up when games need to be won as posted earlier, we might just have a valuable player.

Profile says he has, using his penetrating kick to good effect.

Love the comments on this one. Highlights his versatility...

All we need next is a tall back and one or two midsize defenders. Also depending how our rucks go maybe another ruck

Who'll be the first TV caller to refer to him as the "Hyphen?"

It's been a very tough rollercoaster ride but there is now a light at the end of that tunnel

It's interesting that the RMC analysis highlights his tank (as well as top 6 in the 20m and agility tests) I can't find his 2km test results though.

Not sure if this has been posted but the advertiser had NRT ranked #36 overall in their top 40 ranks. Maybe our club saw him sliding and that's why they decided to trade a future pick in and grab him?

Good size & frame to add size to but also fast with skills that can be developed. I like this pick, it shows the recruiters have dug deep & looked closely at the draft pool...

NRT is a player im finding hard as a comparison

Lambert

Lambert

I have 2 players in mind but not sure which is more comparable
Sam Flanders & Alex Neal - Bullen

He has a bit more speed than both of those, similar tank to Flanders, ANB not so much.

Reckon he's perfect for the Lambert role, can play higher up the ground assisting in stoppage clearances and link up play into the forward line and is a threat around goals.

If he can become a player like Lambert then we have done very well
