Quote: ChrisGS "Pettybourne is another of those guys who was regarded really highly but never really kicked on. I've watched him for years waiting for him to start playing well. I expected him to make a better go of it at Wests with the change of scenery but obviously not.
He's easily SL quality and brings something a bit different with how fast and explosive he is, but he's not a great rugby league player by any means and it's a punt because you don't know what you're going to get from him. Potentially he could be huge, or he could plod along doing nothing of value.
I wouldn't read too much into what Wests Tigers fans have to say about any forward who plays for them. Ben Te'o and Bronson Harrison were also rubbish at the tigers, same can be said for Adam Blair at the moment. The Tigers have a history of taking great forwards and somehow getting them to not perform, from what I can gather.'"
Yep.
He hit grade at Souths with a massive impact....several seasons later astute purchases at Souths saw him lagging behind.
He's been average for us....but thats par for the course at Wests. He could be a good pick up for you.
If he can find the form he had when he first began, he used to hit the line like a truck, feearless
