This kid looks like the real deal. A young Petero Civoniceva clone in the making?
Every run he made was tremendous - he carried plenty of defenders with him, and bent the line with every charge. He doesn't seem to struggle with mobility either, looks pretty light on his feet for a big unit, and is a hard hitter in defense too.
A frighteningly good prospect? Definitely hope so!
On a side note, Kennedy is playing very well too, and Joseph Leilua looks twice as good as Setaimata Sa, at a similar age and level of development when he got introduced to first grade. For all of our inconsistency, we have seen some very good things this year:
- previously constant underachievers (to varying extents) Aubusson, Myles, Nuuausala and SKD find their feet in different positions and are steadily improving in their new roles
- the emergence of Hargreaves, Masoe, Kennedy, Leilua and Linnett as seriously talented future prospects
- Jake Friend and Mitchell Pearce seemingly thriving with increased responsibility and playing the best footy of their blossoming careers
- Nick Kouparitsas, Daniel Conn and Aiden Guerra as the new versions of Stu Webb, Ned Catic and Chad Robinson, i.e. hard workers who provide stable depth, can fill in when needed and not let the team down
It is really unfortunate that injury has robbed Cherrington and Symonds of the opportunity to really show their potential this year too.
