He is, has got the size and speed for flanker, number 8, inside and out side centre.

| Its the daily mail!
Centre might appeal to him as he'd get a few extra years playing there. Just a shame he won't win a nrl title with Souths.

if you watch him playing league though, he's a player who wants to get involved in the game all the time - would he be satisfied at having to bide his time in the centres as the forwards battle for long periods. he'll certainly bolster the defence out wide but the temptation to come into the middle to make a tackle could open up gaps wider out. i guess it comes down to good coaching

Reports I have heard is that he will be with Souths for the 2014 season before any possible move to Union. So if true still a chance?

Sorry Freddie you're right in theory, but Souths won't win the nrl this year.

| Still struggling to think where he'll play. eight? probably, but unless he already possesses a good understanding of union it could be risky. any other pack position is too specalised and he's probably too small.
outside centre? wasted.
Stick with league Sam.

The press love building people up, just to tear them back down again. While it was only a brief mention, if the press continue to bring their Mum in to it, I can't see any of them sticking around.

What is the definition of a "marquee" signing?
Someone who's played NRL? A World Champion ?
Who would have the final say?

| He'll do well at union not least because the skill levels are so low that anyone with serious talent will be lauded. Hopefully he wont get bored during the endless stoppages and set pieces that characterise that rich and expertly marketed sport.

It would be quite simple I imagine. Each club would be allowed to nominate any player as a marquee player, regardless of their background or experience. That players salary would not count on the cap.
