Inexperienced but seems very keen, looks strong.

He should be really up for it given only has a 1 year deal.

He does not need to be as good as Kylie or JP as is prop 4/5. If he runs hard, tackles hard and holds onto the ball, he'll be fine.

Bit of a gamble but good luck to him.

Seems a bit like Akuala at Warrington? Similar size and experience when he came over. Let’s hope he makes a bigger impact.

Probably not the signing we were all looking for but realistically due to Covid and other factors the only players available are out of contract 34/35 years old that are over here or under the radar NRL players who are out of contract or non starters for their clubs.
In this regard a one year deal makes sense. Its low risk and gives us another body and hopefully can bring some physicality and comes with a point to prove.

Watching the YouTube clips, he looks like he runs hard and fast.
Probably raw due to little NRL experience, but he could go ok with Mik, Prior and Tet around him.
Most importantly he’s another body in the front row which we desperately needed.
He’ll get plenty of minutes.
And he’s low risk on a one year deal.
Probably best we could have hoped for in the current climate.

Looking forward to the song the South stand come up for him, if we ever get back in the stands

Can't help it mate.I love a good prospect and I obviously hope he's great, but for me we are crying out for a prop who will at least make our 17 every week,and if that player isn't available we bide our time. From the ridiculously little I've seen of him he looks like he could ruffle a few feathers but he also looks like a player who can fill in at prop ((like prior and thompson) rather than someone who will crack heads and take some of the load off mic and tom.
I obviously hope I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

The kids will love it. Stealth swearing.

Achurch looked good on u tube , this guy is 25 and limited to 5 sub appearances for a poor N.R.L side ,. Yet again an underwhelming signing , we desperatley need a big quality prop and this is what we get instead

Apparently The reason he only played 5 games last year was be ause he chose not to form part of the covid bubble that had to move to Australia, not because of how good or not he is.

Let’s give him a chance before writing the guy off.

Well said

Under circumstances with Ava what else where we supposed to do, we needed to replace Ava and at this late stage options were thin on the ground, the days of just throwing around big money to sign who we feel like are long gone. Its a steady low risk signing that can go either way if he is even half decent it gives us some depth and cover.

Not sure its that low risk.What if a player becomes available in a couple of months and we cant get him because we dont have a quota spot? Doesn't necessarily have to be a world beater but a genuine prop who could do some quality donkey work for a year or two whilst our kids develop. With Holroyd,thompson,smith and a hooker where does this lad get in our match day squad nevermind improve our go forward against the big boys.
