Kurt De Luis

[frank stokes]

Been solid for a guy from reggies..and thats all we needed

Yeah gotta admit I was surprised when blocker said he ran 115m in 12 carries...

Good effort...

 

[Kevinward777]

Well done young bloke - great debut!

 

[Snake]

He doesn’t look like a great prospect, more a Daniel Alvaro type; he’ll do a steady job but steady is his ceiling. Leg speed is non-existent.

good on him for getting a game and turning up with a strong effort...

 

[Snake]

Good solid effort but he makes Jake look fast.

 

[Kevinward777]

Played to 100% of his ability - zero errors!

 

[maxta]

I was waiting for to get knocked into the bleachers....so direct with zero preservation, they shook him but put his hand up for another hit up same set...
As Snake stated, his feet are like the Matrix but you know what....he got it done and has a big heart - congrats I reckon....

 

[Cioran]

I think he went OK. Needs more leg drive but plenty of effort and involvement, happy if he's named on the bench for now.

 

[Ryan]

15 tackles, 132 run metres, 14 runs, 0 errors or missed tackles. They can be as slow as they want, he produced.

 

[jbb/james]

Got a bit of barney rubble about him, a tad taller. I do wonder how the reggie players cope when they do a first grade warm up

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

He was great. Not sure how much more he has in him, but I won't write off a player who definitely has the attitude, and he does. Croker, Parker, Harper are other examples of players at first glance you think ahh, probably reserve grader, but that's not the case!

The zero errors is a nice exclamation point on the 130 odd metres and 18 tackles on debut.

100% for a guys that is 25 and only played 25 odd NSW cup games he did exactly what we couod have hoped for.
If someosaid before his debut that they would be his stats then you would take that in a heart beat! Great depth player when hit with a bad injury toll.

I do think he is a top 30 player at best but solid, can definitely do a job when needed. Can't ask much more for a guy that's not even top 30 contracted. From earlier reports he was still working a full time job and training on top of this. Give him a full time contract and he would definitely improve on this. A late bloomer too at 25 he has only played 25 NSW cup games

 

[JBW]

Solid debut, looks tops in defence, that upright running style is going to get him belted though. Good on him, had a good crack.

Bit like Davey, the late bloomers can often be the most highly motivated?

 

[HoldenV8]

Like I said in the game day thread ... Kurt got smashed whenever he ran, but not once did he back down. He just kept on hitting it up.

 

[double hoops]

He is great prospect. Not sure if he will get enough games to shine. But have no doubt he can shine at the top level if given the opportunity. Well done Desmond here.

 

[malroon]

first big time game , as Jack Gibson would say "'Played Tough, Done Good"..

 

[mickqld]

Great effort from Kurt. Impressive stat's for a debut. Just needs a bit more speed and get his centre of gravity a bit lower when he does hit ups. Solid effort lad well done.

 

[southsideeagle]

I was keen to see how he went first up. I’m remote with no game on tv. All I can find is, played 35 minutes, made 15 tackles and ran 132 metres (wow). That equates to over 300m for 80 minutes (ok can’t use this as accurate guide but still impressive). For first up game, was it as impressive as it seems.
