Players like him should hit the ground running not take the best part of a season to look like any other SL player.
He is a quota player and as such they should be on the ball from the first couple of games and become one of our best players.

I'm in Aus now, and I can completly understand how hard it is to make the transistion. We are in the depths of their winter, and I'm happy in shorts and a t-shirt while everyone else is in jumpers and scarfs!
I can only imagine what it's like for the aussie's coming across here going from playing at 10 degrees at the coldest, to playing in the minus's in sheeting rain where the ground is a mud bath and the ball is greasy. No wonder it takes them time.
