Where's Jordan Miller? Maybe added to the bench list?
Don't expect to see him anywhere except the gym for the next few months mate.
Apparently, he needs to shed a serious amount of KGs before he is ready for any grade.
Let's call him a project player - signed because if we can get him right, he will be a good one, but the club accepts there is a lot of work to be done.

Had a lengthy discussion about our approach and plan for our juniors and getting them NRL ready with someone in the know this morning. There is definitely a long-term plan in place to bring through what the club hopes will be a good crop of young'uns over the next few years. Most of the names most of you will know and where we believe there are weaknesses in the local competitions, there are things in place to close those gaps.

I think it was reported that he was 130kg. It’s far too big for the modern game.

why wouldn't we just send him to wenty for a month or so to get his hands dirty?

Long odds we ever see him make first grade here.

Clearly has issues with his body to baloon out to 130kg and that's not even including the lack of professionalism at his last club where he didnt turn up to training.

It will say a lot about the positive progress of the club development/pathways if they get him from the ground zero to top grade.
