I know there will be a fair bit of push back on this one, but he has been released by The Panthers today for disciplinary problems.
I would love to see him put under the wings of players like Kite, Cuthbertson, Mauro & Afamasaga (players who have high values and morals).
Rugby League is about opportunity. It's about giving someone a chance, when the chips are down.
This kid was being touted by The Dragons as their next big 5/8 before he had a go at Anasta on the field.
I have 100% faith in Des, our environment and our community to nurse him through this rough period, and selfishly, we would have a specialist 5/8.

Like I said, there will be a lot of abrupt responses below, but given a chance, an opportunity and a little bit of a duty of care, I think he could fulfill that potential everyone was saying he had.
I also hear that he wasn't treated at all well after promises were made at The Panthers, and things kind of came off the rails from that point.
Give him a shot at a minimal contract !! We'd at least have a NSW Cup 5/8, and not have to play Nick Bradley there.
He's also very very young, so Des, Crusher, Toovs and co. still could groom him into what they need.
Guys?
I also mean this in a serious way - it would be nice to see some aboriginal talent in our team. They are dead set athletes when it comes to League (Thurston / Bowen / Inglis etc etc).
