Was positive about signing a 21 year old english player but then all this was lost to see we signed a finished aussie an a hooker never played top level consistently, the southern hemisphere agents must love it when they cannot find find a club for finished players to then see HFC We need to be building a youg team not patching a new team each year hoping for one season success.

I agree, his fitness/body shape will need some work but I think the off season will provide enough time. We need to realise we have not bought a runner but a passer of the ball, an organiser and a kicker. We have Horne to do the running and this kid might not be a world beater but he could give us the balance we have been craving.

In the 4 games I've seen him play, I've seen nothing at all to suggest he's an organiser. Yes, he can kick, and yes, on occasion he can put some one through a gap, but currently, he is certainly no better an organiser than Obst is.
