My mate his family have moved to Perth, Western Australia, he played Junior rugby in South Leeds, he has been made captain of the 14's for Westen Australia, plays hooker I believe, I do not know the standard of kids rugby in Australia but someone there has seen some quality in him. I think the good news is he wants to play for England when he is older. I am waiting to see how he develops, but it would be interesting to know what standard are they playing to.'"
I stand to be corrected, but I think very few, if any, NRL players are developed in Western Australia.

| I wouldn't agree that British kids are necessarily consistently ahead. We've beaten them a few times at Academy level, which is good, but the depth here is enormous.
Its partly a numbers game - RL really does have the pick of the juniors in Queensland and NSW for the most part, although AFL is making inroads through Auskick. Its also just that kids here have a proper development pathway - juniors to U19 then proper feeder competitions where they get to play open age against pretty good quality. They need to be physically mature when they get into the NRL - most players don't debut until 19 or 20 and don't become regulars until their early 20s. The level of competition means that kids can't just get by on being the best at U19 - they have to keep improving.

| He also hasn't played this season, so he might take a while to get to full fitness. Actually scratch that - he's apparently played 1 game in the NSW feeder comp.

Hes well rated in NRL. Plenty of experience. Good stats. Yes hes not had a great 12 months following injury but hes got all the ingredients to go well.

| Big guy, ran fairly strongly but hes just flown around the world so it's hard to judge. Didnt let us down and wasnt the worst by any means.

| I think it's bordering on insanity you guys playing ava and Cas playing Blair when they both landed here Tuesday Wednesday. Just shows how desperate both sides are right now.

He injured it in one of Cronullas trials couple of month ago, was out for 5 week then only played one game ror Newtown before joining us, hopefuly just a precaution.

| He was well known for being a good defender in the NRL, missed very few tackles for a man his size.
