That's what you picked up from that game? I saw him as a spot defender, always struggling to get back on side, flopping on numerous tackles, struggling with the pace, speed and run of the game. I actually thought he looked really badly out of shape (thought he enjoyed a few bevvies after leaving the Warriors). Anyways, each to their own.

We might agree to disagree on this one @Ryan. Yes he looked somewhat out of shape but I thought he played well and had a a really good presence and involvement out there. Harassed the hell out of the opposition in defence and took the ball up with gusto. Not sure his stats were all that good but I would definitely have him in our 2nd row ahead of other options. At $300 -$400k absolutely.
