1 in 15 mins is a better ratio that Cusack and Dowes!!

FWIW im pretty sure he made 1 v Bradford too.

Can't see the fuss myself, he's a big bloke and runs hard, nothing much else to him though.

Whilst I think that's understating it, I do agree that the fuss surrounding him ATM is over the top.

His 10 minutes are not impressive enough to warrant a place in the 17 at this stage IMO.

Seems to be real potentail there though, he has admitted himself that eh has a long way to go.

he wont be in the 17 when Lauaki comes and if King gets fit. He's doing a job for us currently though.

Agar has to play him for longer to justify his selection I would agree. If he's not able to play for longer then that would be only reason to put someone else in. However if he's able to play longer he should be in as he attracts defenders and gets a very fast play the ball. These 2 qualities led directly to one of G Horne's tries on Friday.

Totally agree, I just don't think he's fit enough to be keeping his spot yet. Our pack cannot cope with that continually, I think we need someone else capable of 30-40 minutes to come in until he's played more minutes in the academy.

He sounds abit like Makali, I'm sure when fully fit he'll prove to be a battering ram when introduced off the bench

No he's not, he tackles fairly and can play a bit.
