Can't beleive people are slagging the lad off before he's even here.

He's been offered to stay at Titans for another 3 years, he's only 23, Mathers says he'll be a very good signing for us so i think the lad must have something about him......

Agreed...give the lad a chance

Signing top players does not always work i.e. Matt King

Looks like a 'big unit' as Stevo will undoubtedly describe him next season.

The general concensus from down under appears to be that he is very solid in defence, but offers little going forward.

Probably sounds a little like Toopi in those regards.

A 23 year old playing every week in the NRL can't exactly be a terrible player.

I think I'll reserve judgment until I've seen a few games from him in a Leeds shirt.

Don't know anything about him really, but it's been pretty obvious we needed a centre for next year, so if it does nothing else it ticks that box.

Obviously I'll wait until July next year before I form an opinion on his ability.

Very true. Add to that Mullins and Clyde.
One excellent factor he's at the right age and not here for a pension. He'll ony get better. He'll also be nicely battle hardened in the fine school that is the NRL.. I just can't beleive some of the ''he's garbage'' school children comments on here..

Very wise, so will i. You can never be 100% sure on any signing, but lets hope he turns out to be a good un.
