Good luck!
I'm guessing that's because he was a mega money signing for the Sharks when he first signed, and subsequently spent most of the 3 seasons out with a chronic back problem that kept returning. But the Sharks have still given him a couple of extra years following his initial contract and he's been on the pitch much more regularly and performing well.

When he is on the pitch, he's fantastic.... Great go forward, runs great lines at 100 miles an hour, good offload game and a great defender - he was one of the best 2nd rowers in the game when he signed for the Sharks. The last couple of seasons he's been great for the Sharks and on the pitch more often than not - he was unfortunate this season with the broken jaw, but returned much earlier than expected and was again great for the Sharks at the end of the year.

He's definitely a gamble though - he'll either be a very expensive crock who hardly ever plays, or if he stays fit (which is still a big if), I'd argue he'll be one of the best forwards in SL quite easily.

If he was so good he would have carried on his rep career

Quote: Lawrie L "If he was so good he would have carried on his rep career'"


He was out for pretty much 3 seasons - he kept coming back for a game or 2 here and there so well and truly missed the boat on continuing his rep career, but that wasn't because of his ability.... And whilst he's been very good when he had played over the past few years, he's not had anywhere near the consistency in terms of appearances to get anywhere near a blues jumper - and he's been overtaken by younger more consistent players - just because we hasn't played rep rugby for a few years doesn't mean he isn't a terrific player - NSW have hardly struggled for good back rowers in the past 5 years.

Well, Tim Smith comes in at No 41 so it’s a minor improvement.

Where’s the top forty, surely Sam Tomkins will be up there icon_lol.gif .

Not really worth putting on here. It's good stuff but hardly headline is it - troll feed I'm afraid.
