I like the Mannering comparisons. He's around 6'2 now, so by the time he fills out he will play a very similar style to Mannering. IMO this kid is a very special defensive player. Both in making reads and making game changing hits in a similar way to Matt Gillett.
On attack his game seems pretty limited to carting the ball forward and aggressive hit ups. His athleticism makes me think he will expand this part of his game. He's already starting to show it by running lines and hitting holes. Definitely more naturally athletic than someone like Mannering. But I don't think he will ever be a ball playing second rower type player.
He's definitely not a small kid either like some have said on here, he's tall and becoming well built - genuine lock/second row size. Forget about any
Jazz comparisons because they are way off the mark.
I know he's been earmarked as future first grade captain material as well with this being his second first grade preseason.
