Henare Wells

Yep, spot on. Kennedy never made a big impression in under 20's and is now really struggling in first grade. Tamou outshone him every week in the lower grades, yet we kept Kennedy.....go figure.

Kennedy averaged 140m & 25 tackles a week in the 20's, in what world is that not standing out?

Also no other prop since Lopini Paea in 2007 and O'meley in 2008 has averaged over 110m in a season except for Kennedy in 2011.

It's amazing how many people are willing to write him off after a serious injury that hindered his 2012 season preperation.

The bloke deserves a few games to get into this season, only 15 months ago people were calling him our future captain and QLD bench player.

When I saw him play he couldn't tackle or catch a bomb to save himself.

His kick defusal was usually pretty good, he was pretty weak in defence though and his kick returns lacked a bit of punch. I was hoping that as he filled out he'd improve in these two areas but unfortunately spent pretty much all of 2012 injured.

I'm interested to see how he goes for the Jets, he's definitely grown a lot when I saw him in the pre-season.

I don't rate Henare Wells. Does good things here and there but unfortunately it is mixed in with a lot of crap. Has never shone in under 20's so I can't see him making it in first grade.

True.

Henare Wells wont play too many first grade games for us unfortunately.
Why would we blood in RTS all this time for Wells to come in and snatch RTS's fullback spot, leaving him on the wing?
And the inverse applies. Why would we put Wells, a natural fullback, on the wing?
Its one or the other, and RTS is showing more promise.

How many games did Kennedy play? From what I remember he missed at least half a season.

Wouldn't surprise me. We lack decent depth in the halves.
Ryley Jacks is expected to return from injury either this week or next, Ben Jones to 5/8 & Adam Henry into the centres.
