I rated him, so much so I sponsored him !!!! His first game he was more or less off the plane and had a blinder in a win at Bradford. After that he was consistent rather than outstanding although the team were hopeless which didnt help. I would have liked another season out of him but I guess he didnt fancy the Championship.

He was decent in a team that tried hard, but was not a SL quality team by a long way. Disappointed he didn't want to commit to Championship last year and signed for Wests Tigers in the hope of playing a game or two. Never an NRL half, but behind a good pack he could well turn into a real gun half in the second tier of English rugby league.

He was good at times but pretty average overall. I remember talking to an Aussie lad at the Hull game I think , he knew of him from home and was surprised to see him in a top tier side in England. I was also disappointed he didn't stick around for last season, he might have gone well at this level.

Seemed to lack confidence for mine, didn't run enough and kicking was OK. As per Londo06 I think he'll go well in a side with some go forward that isn't getting battered on a weekly basis.

He started off by being quite average, but come the end of the season he looked like he was finally playing with some confidence, his kicking game at times was quite good.

Yeah, he ended the season with a heap of try assists and a decent combo with Joe Keyes. Downhill for both since then.

Was OK in reserve grade over here for the Tiges.

Also just played for the winning NSW Resident's side, which is made up of the best players in the NSW reserve grade comp. They beat their QLD counterparts,
