Highlights packages only show 1 side of the players game which is there potential and ceiling.

You type in Waqa Blake on youtube and you get 3-4 min clips of him in space and scoring tries.

You don't see the 5-10 min video clips of all the dumb errors he made and the weakness in his game.
Spot on but!
He's young, huge, fearless and fast. A great place to start. We definitely lack edge forwards of the Kikau variety.

Well he got a dev contract ahead of Jock Brazel. So there's that.

Definitely agree it will be tough, especially at the beginning.

However PNG has a population of nearly 10 million or so. That's a huge catchment area. The biggest in the NRL.

If the right development systems are put in place (and I think that's where a lot of the money is meant to go), after 8-10 or so years, they should be fairly self sufficient and not need to be recruiting a lot of players. Even having a player surplus for the rest of the NRL.
It will be f**king cool if it works out this way.

No, you're entirely missing the point. Reece Walsh could kill a dozen kittens and the Broncos would not sack him. Eza anyone ?


The kid Sandon Smith from the Roosters is potentially facing jail, yet they kept it from the papers from March until only recently.

Clubs throw players under the bus when its convenient to their cap. My comments has zero to do with specifics about JAC and his driving matter.
