Quote: Bull Mania "Kirks has got plenty of time to fill out. At the moment he's very tall rather than big. Due to the circumstances he's probably played many more games than he should have.'"
Don't get me wrong, I'm not counting him out just yet. I agree he probaably wasn't intended to play so many games this year, but circumstances have meant we've needed him to.
It's sometimes difficult to not compare him with a certain Polish 18 year old though. Without checking ages, I suspect Oledzki is actually younger, and I'd say he's also a little smaller, and yet look at the difference.
I'm fully aware it's an unfair comparison in that you could say every fullback is crap compared to Billy Slater, but it's hard not to look at it like that a little.
