This guy was playing centre as a junior and is quick, now he has put on heaps of muscle and is a BIG second rower, quick and strong in the tackles, the bunnies know they are on a winner with this guy.
The people that have watched this guy play over the years, they have no doubt he is the goods.
Its exactly the same as all the other juniors that have been signed for next year, none of them have played NRL, but if they are the best of all the other juniors in the 20's for example its a strong indication that they will be quality players.
Yes its a risk but if you dont take the risk, NO DOUBT someone else will sign them !!!
