I have a mate who played with the tigers this yr n I was speaking with him last week n I asked him about Brendan santi and he said he cant believe the tigers let him go.He said he is a mix between a dallas Johnson n a young Nathan hindmarsh.will be a great buy and is a work horse.
Thanks for the info mate and I too am very surprised that they let him go. I just don't see the sense in it, but hey, it's our gain.
Yeah, a 20 year old should dominate the NRL weekly. FMD, dribble.
You're a prat!
Nobody said he should dominate; they said he might be able to play consistently at NRL standard. And he might; it's just unlikely.
Also, he's 21 next year, not 20.
Thanks Pou, you just about covered it.
Santi will play NRL this year. He is a gun.
I hope you're right Avenger. That's also the kind of feeling I have about him too. He just seems like the kind of kid that is going to mentally handle the NRL and has the talent and work rate to be successful when given the opportunity. No one is suggesting that he will be an international by seasons end.
I just think that next year we could be seeing the start of what might end up being a very, very good long term and successful NRL career. That's all.
But now I just wish I kept my mouth shut, for fear of raising to high an expectation of the young man or put the dreaded whammy on the poor bloke.
