Could possibly be a very shrewd signing. Brings versatility and cover as a utility back, but could also force his way into a first grade spot. With Jorge out he will probably get a look in at some time, especially if we have anymore outside back injuries.
As others have mentioned in this thread and from what I have seen of him, he seems a solid, reliable player. Nothing spectacular in regards speed, but tidy under the high ball, solid finisher when on the wing and seems to have a decent footy IQ. Has good height and size also. Played well in most games I saw him play for the Sharks and Cowboys and brings nearly 100 games of experience with him while only being 25 years old.
For Manly to sign him to a 3 year deal shows they see him as a future piece and more than just a gap plugger for this season. Whether thats as a "Mr Fix it" back up or something more permanent is another story and up to him. How he performs, as well as injuries and our squad make up will decide this I guess. He also must have come at reasonably economical price so he shouldn't have broke the bank.
Lets hope he does well and makes the most of his opportunites here. Look forward to seeing him in the maroon and white. Welcome Mr Wright!!!
