He's training with us in Florida.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Thu Dec 13, 2012 2:33 pm  

Training as a player or sprint coach?

Have a look at this 12 year old in Australia. Particularly the last leg run (bottom video clip) http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCpy6Hc ... ture=watch http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-cl ... 6534033559 11.72 for the 100 metres as an U12.

Any sprinter could play sevens.

Inglis would rip the poor sod to pieces... he does that with established players fair enough, but still!

People said the same about Offiah. Didn't stop him becoming a phenomenon.

But then, I suppose they said it about Gary Henley-Smith too ... and it did.

Ah well ...

Agreed. Surely if it was just about speed then Dwayne Chambers would have been sensational for Cas. How many games did he play? 3?

Just 1 wasn't it. A reserve game against York or Doncaster. Looked very quick from memory. In fact Chambers is quicker than the septic tank.

Looks very much like an early Offiah, has a bit of evasiveness as well as the speed.
