He looks great on youtube, in fact if he played like that in SL he'd be far and away the best H/B in the comp.
However he won't, they never do, certainly not at basement clubs like our or not anymore they don't. I can't explain it, if he played on one leg he'd be better than Miller but he'll just go through the motions and ultimately dissapoint and at the same time stunt the development of a English player. One who won't have the same ability but will at least try.
There is a reason these players end up in SL - they are one or two season wonders, and once they lose their desire they never seem to get it back, especially playing mercenary RL for a team in a country they don't give a stuff about. Some Aussies do good, but they would do well anywhere. I used to believe in giving second chances to these NRL players because surely they had to be good enough for SL but I can't think of the last one we or anyone else got who turned it around. I'd have to go as far back as Obst and BJ for that though I may be forgetting someone.
I'm just sick of them, you might as well give Mattie Wildie, Cain Southernwood or Gareth Moore another go at least they have a point to prove.
