By all accounts he was nothing special in reserve grade, but yeah, bucket loads of potential

From what I saw he started well then faded into inconsistency. Unless he was being turned into a dominant middle (which at no point seemed to be the goal), he was never going to get much of a shot here. Dogs always had the better of the deal with RFM.

I sat down to watch a NSW game, he seemed to have a bad case of the dropsies, having said that it was about the only game I've seen him play apart from the one FG appearance.

was the right type of player we needed just not the right player. A different body/playing style to what we currently have

Will happily take him and see what happens, he looked the good last year at the Dogs so this year is very strange from him

Unfortunately for you, you might have a coach who's unable to bring out the best in him. Just like we did.

How has RFM being going at the Dogs, anyone?

Possibility, but I look at how Lussick and Vave come on under him this season and have a bit of confidence there

Have seen a bit of RFM, has played well, nothing flashy but he doesn't need to be a star in that pack

Lane played his best game in a Warriors jumper against Manly at Brookvale. He had several barnstorming runs amongst other good things.

The Manly scouts would've noticed.

At 15 minutes did he have the shortest ever Warriors first grade career?

Lane I thought showed a lot for the Dogs the year prior and thought he was potentially a great addition for the Warriors as he brought a different dynamic to the other second rowers they've got.

Didn't see him playing in reserves, but disappointing that it didn't pan out for him.

RFM has been solid for the Dogs, nothing amazing but certainly serviceable. That said, he wouldn't have been bringing anything different to the Warriors pack and doubt he would have really been getting much of a look anyway with the minutes that Hoff, Mannering and Bodene log.

He was barbaric playing reserves this year. Don't think he ever wanted to come here
