Jaws
I tend to agree, I know he had a lot of hype & people that are high profile rate him but I cant help but think maybe they jumped on the bandwagon a bit about how good he actually is.
I cant really say on what he showed us last year & I admit it wasn't a lot of game time but he didn't stand out for me from what I saw, who knows, maybe in a year or two I might be cursing the sharks for letting him go or not offering enough $ to keep him as he might be killing it.
One thing I do know is the heat or attention will really be on him this season as he will more than likely start or be viewed as the dogs number one 9 & with all the hoo ha about him plus his dad being vocal in the media last year he needs to produce otherwise the dogs fans & media will be all over him.
yeah but he went for what 350,000. If he stayed here for that, and he needed a babysitter for half the game, or if he was a flop for that contract then we've really lost out. Regardless of where he goes in the future or how good he will be, if 2014 was anything to go by, he needs to invest every cent he earns at the dogs as thats the most he'll earn. Cant go offering huge contracts out so you have them in 3-4 years time when they may be good, youll still be fighting the rest of the comp for his signature regardless. Let Des develop him in first grade. Unfortunately you can only learn so much as an under 20s hooker, i think its a position only time in first grade can help you develop in.
