Iro - our next outside back

[Stake Removed]

I have watched him. Acouple of times for Jets this year, and seen his stats.
They are looking good, has good leg speed, can bust a tackle as well.
Started year on wing has been moved to centre recently and continues to impress.
Over 200 metres on weekend in losing team.
We have good quality outside backs now when healthy, I believe Iro has the potential to handle first grade and more upside then a Hiroti.
The Jets game in in nswrltv in weekend, so another chance to see how he goes, which probably means will have a shocker

He is looking good. I’d be inclined to try Iro ahead of Hiroti. But Iku in front of both.

Iro MUST play!!!!!!

Is he related to the Kiwi Iro's that played for Manly ? If he is then with anything like close to the family ability he could be anything for us .

Son of Kevin, nephew of Tony.

Kevin Iro was a beast - Tony was tubbier, but still a great player…

Kevin was a gun centre and Tony a clever ball player.

Anything like Kevin and you’ve got talent. Tony was good too but Kevin was another level

I didn't see Kevin and Tony coming through but Kayal is a beast. Would not be surpised at a;; to see him used in the backrow eventually. He makes a lot of metres per game but interestingly close to 50% of them are PCMs.

I've noticed commentators pronouncing his name Ear-o as opposed to Eye-ro as was the way it was pronounced when Tony and Kevin played.

I believe it was Ear-o back then as well.

Where's the link to nswrltv? Is it only through Stalkbook?
