Might be stuff you've heard before but he seems really commited to having a real go at league.

-Trains mostly with first grade and then last training session with 20's
-Extra video sessions with first grade coaches
-Coach says best asset is "his footwork and abilty to beat a man one on one"
-Says the toughest challenge that he's faced with learning the game is how to play wing, because he's played centre his whole life. Says it's hard to know when to shoot up, stay out etc etc.

If he's more at home in the centres, why not put him there? It could only make him feel more comfortable. Then again our centres do alot more tackling then the ones in union.

So he'll tackle more. It's better if he is comfortable in the position.

He'll get ripped up in defence.

To be honest, he's built more like a winger.

sad indicement on the whole Sydney system when you are paying a South African kid how to play the game at 19.

Take a step back and think about that for one minute.
**** me the whole thing is a joke.

I was trying to be silly ...

I really hope this kid makes it with our side. It would hopefully give Rugby League a profile in South Africa. That country has the potential to field a decent league team. Its still early days but i hope he is enjoying the experience.
