We need more manly kids than Manly kids at the moment.

So I take it that him signing for us was just a rumour and he we were not looking at him. I could be wrong but I don't think he be named in that squad if was on his way here. if anyone knows better then happy to admit to being wrong. I guess they might drop this kid now hes on his way here. Only reason I say that is did you see who was the coach of the cutters, none other then our old friend Ian Millward..

The time it takes to get a visa it might be good for us to keep him playing so that he's match fit when he gets here.

Dragons confirm that he's coming to SL. Don't say where though. http://m.dragons.com.au/news-display/90809

Very good halfback at under 20s level.
I remember him playing a few great games against the Knights in the under 20s.
I've always thought ESL sides would get better value by buying young guys like this.
Pretty much the same story as Michael Dobson - a very good junior halfback who isn't quite ready for NRL and has a lot of improvement in him.
At 21 he has his best years in front of him for sure.

Drinkwater and Farrar could be the London halves -- unless Tony Rea is thinking of retaining Gigot and putting Farrar in the centres, which would be a waste of Farrar's talents for a club in dire straits.

But if Drinkwater and Farrar are to lift the team's attack, the team's attack and defence need to be raised by a stronger pack of forwards than have so far taken the field. Slyney and other forwards are needed ASAP.
