Is he any bigger than Semi Radradra? Unless a bloke is 120kg the main decider for where he plays is his lateral movement and work rate. Davis is an outside back. I doubt he will ever even play second row.
There is a picture of him and Moeroa who is closest to the camera. Davis is not only much taller but his legs are huge compared to Moeroa who is no midget. My guess is he is over 110kg which imo is too big for a back as bigger blokes tend to have slower reflexes. In reality he was a boom youngster but maybe because he was bigger than everyone around him. Now he is an ordinary back so unless he becomes a forward I doubt he'll have much of an NRL career.

He was always taller then everyone else. But quite lean. Unlike some islander boys who are built like tanks.GL looksman example.

I doubt he'll have much of a career if he moves into the forwards. He doesn't appear to have either the work ethic or the attitude for the forwards. Just because a player is big as a back doesn't mean they'll make a good forward.

Officially 195cm and 107kg, which is pretty big for an outside back (and could be wrong, though his upper body isn't big). His lateral movement would be better if he dropped some weight but his go-forward should be very good. He seems like he is ideally suited to the wing, which is where he made his Eels NRL debut.

He was too good for NSW Cup in the handful of games I saw (and all the highlights videos), and still has good speed and footwork. I think his best position in first grade is on the wing.

Thought Davis did ok in his only NRL game this year at wing, yeah a bit rough - but as expected for his first game in a while. Dropped a ball from a set play, but made some decent metres. Think he defused a decent kick too.

Reckon with some game time, he could become an ok NRL standard winger.

Probably won't get much opportunity next year but I'm confident he would do a solid job if required. Isn't that the point of backups?
