I think they are referring to his body shape & his head .. he is a spitting image of the old man..

 

[TokyoEagle]

There was also talk about how aggressive he was, just like his old man.

 

[codewana]

Will he also go on a mormon mission in the middle of his career?

And his old man says he's a bit hard to handle. Slightly concerning.

He isnt anywhere good as Will, also gets into a bit of trouble apparently

 

[chris_niko]

I have heard from a couple of people on here that he may be better than his brother.

 

[Ryan]

No, no, no...shhhhh guys. He's the best product coming through for decades, and someone would need to pay him $300k per season JUST to get his signature.

Chooks?

 

[Phantar]

If he joined the Roosters, wouldn't he have to convert to Judaism?

 

[The Eagle]

Hopoate should be bought by manly and studded out

No believe me Will is alot better. Jamil is 17 now, this is the same age when Will signed a $200,000 contract
