He lets himself down defensively (the amount of times he gets wrong-footed or is left standing like a block, especially late in games), but that can be improved. He has an amazingly slow play the ball. Offensively he's solid right now, though he bends the advantage line less than you'd like for a big man--but i guess up until recently Lillyman, Rapira and Packer weren't doing much bending either. He's prone to a rash offload, but that's inexperience more than anything. Performed well for the first third of last season before last year's lack-of-fitness regime did him in.
Good depth at this stage. Fully fit i'd have him in before Matagi or Gubb, though i like how quickly Matagi plays the ball and how often he has the markers in awkward positions.
