I don’t think your logic regarding number of wingers stands up.
Numerically yes, but he may well be playing, and is likely to be playing, well above that standard.
According to press reports at the time, it appears that St Helens made an approach for him in late 2022 to replace Regan Grace but he apparently turned them down.
Clearly they must have considered him suitable for top end Super League around 18 months ago.
We don’t know why he is playing at the level he currently is, whether there are mental, physical, or any other reasons but like you, though unlikely for capability reasons, I don’t think we will see him here and whatever is in his past I wish him well for the future. End of

[quote="1315trinity":3o7wkd8n]He is small compared to a lot but he's as tough as old boots and doesn't lack heart. I think he'll thrive in SL[/quote:3o7wkd8n] Have to agree, he’s very broad across the shoulders and quite stocky. Defensively I actually think it gives him an advantage. Hes certainly got some strength behind him so I don’t see it as an issue either.

More of an observation than trying to be negative about the lad. The fact that the majority of centres in SL/ NRL are 6 feet 1-2 plus he goes against the grain. Looking forward to seeing him hopefully excel

[quote="PopTart":11mlpfwy]Same. He's not as tall as some but he's not small. He's powerful.[/quote:11mlpfwy] I’d personally say he’s fairly small compared to the majority of SL/NRL centres, but that’s just my opinion and observation. It is what it is I really like the lad and hope he has a stormer of a year, more to the game than just size.

We're very lucky to have some very promising youngsters on the books and he's one of them.
