Our fans do love a good hype train going back to the Luke Harlen days however Uele did debut and would of got more time if he didn't sign with us. Green brought this guy from the Roosters 20's with him up north and was upset we stole him with a bigger offer(I read we tripled their offer so Flanno sees something). Plus if you look at our track record with forwards I get the hype but yeah you can't judge a player based off highlights let alone from a lower grade.Are there any left?
In any case, it makes me chortle slightly when punters name players in next years run on side that can't make the Cowboys FG side even with their horrible injury toll last year. Yet all of a sudden he's going to be a superstar!! Look at those fat guts!!!!
Ava will be our 3rd prop and will be fantastic from the bench. His ability to win the ruck means if he can replace Prior we won't see much drop off in the middle. If Uele can be sorted out it would be tremendous for our bench that lacked size and impact in 2017 and a perfect Fifita sub. A bench of Bukuya, Ava along with a fit Uele and (ugh) Seggy is impactful.
But the as always there is a chance he will spend the year in NSW cup and never be seen again. If we really are a million under the cap go give it to Taupau.
