Although I reckon he's too slightly built at this stage. He is injury prone due to lack of muscle, and needs to bulk up considerably. He'll lose some step, but it will be worth it, if it prolongs his career.
It was Inglis that has been mentioned as 5/8th. But they'll give the new kid Russell Aitken (former Australian Schoolboy and Shark) the first crack. If that doesnt work, then they'll hand the ball to Inglis, then as the plan c - move Geyer in.
5/8th aint to much of a crucial position for the Storm.. With Cam Smith essentially taking much play making work away from last last year, sharing the workload with Cronk. Hill had a very poor kicking game (woeful in fact) - so all we need is a 5/8 who can kick and Aitken has that in spades.
