Any good? Never heard of him myself

Just signed a 4 year deal

How has he got a visa?

At 24 he's played less than 10 nrl games.

Big lad though I saw him play against Souths earlier in the season.

Never heard of him?!

If he has an English mother he will qualify for a UK passport I think.

Looks a unit, be good to have that extra size in the back row.

Cheers, I've just seen it on the other thread.

Reading on the Penrith twitter page it seems they rate him a lot even so they started a campaign to try and keep him?!
Interesting prospect then.

Can't say I've heard of him TBH.

The reel on the website.

He's only playing in the Toyota Cup and the NSW Cup.

You could put that kind of package together for just about any player, but there are some good signs.

Decent footwork for someone of his size, an understanding of how to run a good line and some ball skills.

The Rhinos web-site makes a point about him able to play in the FR ,BR and at Centre so expect to see him on the wing or at 9

Just listened to his interview on the website. 24yrs old & already had 2 shoulder reconstructions. Anyone else think this could be a risky signing?

Never heard of him.

I will wait for AP/Keith/William to appear to explain exactly why it's a terrible signing.

Once that's done I can get on with not caring too much how he's played down under and wait to see how he gets on here.

Unbelievable signing. 24yrs old, serious shoulder problems and only managed 8 NRL games, all off the bench. Not sure where the utility tag is coming from as all of his Toyota Cup games at Wests were in the back row.

Surely it's a signing that sticks two fingers up at the likes of Stewart, Singleton and Clarkson.

Has nantwich got a new name?

Looks very handy on the video (I know its Toyota Cup etc), but lets give the lad a chance and see what he can do

All signing from Ausrtalia will be like this one with their salary cap and ours.

Cant imagine he's on a massive amount but as the blurb says SL is going to struggle to attract the top Aus/NZ talent so we are going to have to take a punt on the young untried talent available.

Looks like a Matt Adamson but without the show pony antics. I'm not sure what it says about a player when he can play both Centre and Prop? The type of 'take a punt' signing that we can expect for Aus in future.

on the one hand it looks a kick in the teeth for some really talented players in the u20's. on the other hand nobody had heard of kylie before he came over and he has been sensational in his leeds time.
guess its wait and see

lets see who he replaces. I would hope that this signing would be part of a cull of "established" players who are not performing to the desired level, as suggested by GH a few months ago. I won't hold my breath though.
I presume he is not the world class replacement for Buderus.

Never heard of him and I do keep a keen eye on the NRL.

I reckon he must have been recommended by someone over in Oz.

Maybe a really good prospect who needs a break, although 4 yrs is a rather big commitment especially if he turns into a duff signing.

Does this mean a more permanent switch to centre for ablett?

Dunno, but no wonder Jepson rates Ablett so highly if so.

He's been named on the bench this weekend.
