Pointless signing cos he'll never get the ball anyway.
That is not where the good stuff ends, while his speed is obvious to everyone what is maybe not so obvious is his ability to take advantage of his pace in various ways. He positions himself to make a break, has a great ability to offset the defence by varying his pace, has a great instinctive awareness of how to manipulate the defender with body shape, swerve, in and out, and he certainly doesn't lack bottle when going low for a try.
His defence is obviously a concern but he has shown over the last two years that he is willing to work on it and has the ability to improve. It's an aspect of the game he will always be troubled by but it's also something he that can get better with good coaching and experience.
His signing will give us a cutting edge and we will have an ability to score from anywhere provided we can get the ball to him.
