With all the talk being around Paul Vaughan at Canberra, I think this kid hasn't been given the recognition he deserves. At only 23 years of age, this man is an absolute man mountain. He stands at 194 cm and weighs in at 122 kgs. In recent weeks I've seen him come onto the field an absolutely change the game for Canberra, once against the Tigers with a barnstorming try bumping off Kangaroo Aaron Woods and the second against South Sydney where thumped off a South's forward and then dragging both Greg Inglis and Alex Johnston over the try line. He was given some recognition by being selected for as 18th man in the city-country match but I honestly felt he should have been one of the first picked. He's played age grade for NSW up till the 20's, so in future years he should definitely be in the mix.

What do you guys think about him, could he step up to the origin arena or will he end up being another who can't cope with the pace of origin?

Looks sub-human. Can sub-humans choose whichever state they want given they evolved from somewhere else?

he plays for the raiders so whilst he wears the lime green he wont be selected for NSW

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Don't anyone give me that because he plays for Canberra he won't be selected bs. you guys need to move on from the whole Alan Tongue/Shaun Fenson saga.

This.

Just like how players such as Dugan, Ferguson, Campese, TLL and Monaghan never made their debut for NSW whilst they were playing for the Raiders...

There some absolute gun youngsters coming out of Canberra just now who will be eligible for NSW.

Jack Wighton
Paul Vaughan
Shannon Boyd
Mitch Cornish
Blake Austin
Tevita Pangai jr
Lachlan Croker


If Ricky doesn't destroy there careers, I'd expect a few of them to be included in future NSW teams.

Was just about to say. Canberra fans always like to play the victim.

I mean ffs, Souths won the grand final last year and they don't even have any players in the side. Don't hear many of them bitching .

Put down the crack pipe. You're a fellow New Zealander right? Go back and watch his performance against nz last year, he was easily there most damaging front rower.
