He was originally a five eight in fact when he came to the Roosters who could also play centre. It was only last year he realised if he wanted to play first grade at the Roosters as Keartu was there, he needed to move into the back row. He put on some muiscle in the off season towards that end.
No problem with him playing centre but no way in hell is he fit to be a first grade 5/8 he is barely passable as a fill in 5/8 as shown this season.
