Did you read it? they said he showed some raw talent

If he gets proper development he can be a solid ruckman for a club, which is all most need.

He wouldn't be the first North American convert ;)

He's a ruckman remember. They aren't always the silkiest of the bunch. With that athleticism and height he can just win hit outs and handball every time like most ruck man do anyway lol

The boys on Triple M were speaking about him on Friday night, and Barrett said he was offered a job in the USA after completing his degree, so they had to offer him something similar or more to get him over, so that sounds about right to me

500k gamble

would i be right in saying that as an international rookie he is outside the salary cap? think i remember reading something about that?
