I think that Gaz has the ability to make a real success of his move down under, much the same as Mozza did in his time there, it may take him a season to fully adapt to the different conditions, but i believe that he will leave the NRL with his reputation enhanced

The size of his jaw must be a concern, what a target that is!!
Glad to see him doing so well but it's only his 1st game, expect to see him targeted.
Interesting to note on the reports of the Jets game that Matthew Head (played for Hull FC last year) was only playing for the feeder club too.
Wigan must be interested.

Is Timmy Doyle ignoring this thread?

Is he still convinced that Gareth Ellis plays for Leeds!

That is not the role of backrow forwards in Aus - they are simply tackling machines - so Ellis should do well - lets hope so - one thing is for sure no matter how well he does he will not win the Dally M - purely an Aussies preserve

I agree with David
