Not the favourite here on the Forum ATM - but he's rated elsewhere- and recently, as per the following link:
https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2017/12/25/18-stars-of-2018--jai-field/
Jai has the Xfactor about him with long range tries & is probably one of the fastest guy in the NRL. Scored a try last week against the Mounties & defended well. The club classes him as a utility as he can play fullback, half & 5/8. Has bulked up and is 20yrs old.Kicks goals. The commentators can't wait for him to get the ball because of his electric speed. The kid's done nothing wrong & scored a brilliant long range try for NSW U20's Origin last year to win the game.
The bench seems to have a vacant No 17 FFS - unutilized anyway while Mary dithers.
Against tiring opponents he'd wreak havoc. Remember Auckland Nines?
Sorry I'm off thread in this response, but I do rate him and I confess I have a speed addiction!
I don’t think his talent/potential is in question & sure, he has plenty of speed. He needs to be delivering in ISP to get his chance and by all reports he’s not.
The other thing is that whilst we keep winning there won’t be seismic changes to the team.
I hope he gets a shot but it should be based on his form warranting selection.
