[Noitall]

Whatever level he's at there is still no real hurry. I won't be upset if he's not needed this season and gets inspired by the patience and resilience of Tanah to do his yards and take his opportunity when it arrives. And anyway, when that debut happens, don't expect him to be Nathan. I don't see him hitting his ceiling for another two seasons towards any possible first grade peaks.

Seems like he’s progressing nicely and from comments I can’t recall from where, I think Webster has always been a fan when back at panthers and obviously sees something he likes. Interesting that he seemed to come here with Ivan’s blessing and looking at how our halves seem to have success under Webster, it’s no wonder

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Would the tackle breaks have him as a runner and better suited to 6?

I won't be upset if he's not needed this season and gets inspired by the patience and resilience of Tanah to do his yards and take his opportunity when it arrives.

Careful lads he could be in the Team Metcalf camp and start demanding a specific number

 

[WAH MAN]

Careful lads he could be in the Team Metcalf camp and start demanding a specific number

If he is worthy he shall be numbered
