From what i've seen of Daejarn Asi he does seem to play a similar style to Lam, a quick strong runner with a decent passing and kicking game also. What also stood out was his defence, he could put a shot on when needed.
He may not be at Lams level currently, but he at least fits the mould of the type of half we need.
Not sure, but of all the recent coaches he can say he was the most hard done to, he got a tune out of the team in a frankly bonkers season. Where were really one win away from a Grand Final at home??
