Quote: Ruddy Duck "Outstanding young prospect and turning out on his performances so far, to be a great signing by the club.
'
He has took his chance and on present form should keep his place when the squad gets back to full strength.
Either at centre or loose forward as like Ashurst, Bell, Handley and O'Loughlin before him, he can play in the backs or forwards, can tackle, is a ball player and willing to take bigger players on and break the line.'"
I think he'd make a great centre in the Gene Miles mould. Maybe not blessed with pace but great hands and the ability to create space for his winger at will (and before anyone says it; I'm not comparing him to Miles except as a marker of style he could play). Plus the added advantage of natural size in the backs, something the Aussies seem to do far better than we do with our tendancy to push anyone of size into the back row. I'd love to see him given a run there.
