I have been reading a bit about him in the TCT pre-season reviews. can anyone tell me a bit more about him? Reading between the lines it looks like he isn't out of place training with the full time squad. Is he being groomed as a Moses replacement?

  • assume its BA's son?
  • age?
  • 5/8 or half?

My two cents, having watched him play a bit of lower grades:

He's a "natural" halfback - a first receiver, with a strong running game, smart kicking game, and crisp passing game.

But the most pleasing aspect, for me, is that he loves getting his hands dirty defensively - he isn't afraid to line up a tight forward, and belt the daylight out of him.

He looks a little under sized to me, but he should fill out

He does look tall hey .... wonder if he will stay in the halves when he starts to fill out?

Someone should tell him to keep his tongue in or he will bite it off

he's tall for a half, 6' in the old language, so he's got a bit on Moses

Only criticism I've ever heard was lack of pace but watched him in the schoolboys final and he scored a long range try, then again he'd shit on Alfie in a foot race
