Ive made the call! FWIW i think he just looks a classy player, you can tell when someone has that x factor ability.



Agree we dont know how he will go, but because we dont know doesnt mean he shouldnt get the opportunity to show himself off.

I agree he looks the part and I think he will be a top class player, still need to see more of him in the centre though I feel.

He is getting the opportunity but we need to monitor him closely to avoid any type of burnout, he is still learning and will make mistakes as he gets tired physically and mentally.

Also there is the old chestnut of Maturity to consider, some mature quicker than others and it has been documented at times he can be a bit "chip on both shoulders"
he will do ok, I just doubt our club will have the long term foresight to mature him when the need for sucess is now not in three years if you know what I mean.

Put it this way I would love to hear some news saying we had signed Hall and Briscoe both on 4 year deals. Both potentially top class players who I would like to see us hang onto.
