The NRL is too quick to throw away promising juniors who dont make it immediately, lets face it he is an undersized half thrown into first grade too early. He must show alot of promise in training, and must have a good head on his shoulders in terms of taking in advice and improving himself.
Also watching Qcup he looked better when thrown into hooker so maybe the coaches see him as a future hooker as we are currently experiencing a hooker shortage nationwide.
