Likes his effort tonight. Minus the butchered play the ball I thought he did pretty good. Hopefully club managed to keep him for next season.

Fitz defiantly made a mistake not starting him and keeping Williams at lock. Really can’t wrap my head around why he did that.

Looked pretty good, showed some things you wouldn't think the bloke has in him as a depth signing but he hasn't had heaps of FG under his belt to really show what he's capable of and he's just 25 years old. I say this as someone who liked him before he came to the Sharks and thought he was a solid signing but wasn't expecting amazing things from him.

Has only averaged around 7-8 games per season since making his debut in 2019 so that's isn't really alot of footy to build his career on.

He's busy in defense , made some good tackles and looked pretty sharp with the ball. Like any player the more footy he can play, especially back to back games or blocks of games the better it serves his performances and development.

Did he catch that ball before it hit the ground? I'm referring to the error in the play the ball

I am ok with him as depth at around minimum wage. Played ok, but I don't think he has the impact needed for a regular first grader.

Don’t see Bird leaving the Dargons, reckon this is just Flanno tactics to make him re-sign on a much lower wage.

Hope we’re looking at extending him as depth for next year. If Williams goes he’s basically our only option in the back row outside of Nikora, Wilton and Talakai.

Colquhoun another, but yeah, he’s great depth. Taken over as Jets captain too so obviously other stuff to like about his influence too
I actually rate him. Think there’s definitely an nrl player there, just hasn’t been given an extended run.

Back-rower Teig Wilton has dropped out on Wednesday due to illness with Billy Burns taking his place. Mawene Hiroti comes into the centres in place of Kayal Iro (hamstring) while Tom Hazelton returns from a back injury on the bench. Siosifa Talakai will miss the game after entering the concussion protocols. Hohepa Puru is the 18th man

Not against Burns getting some game time.

Has been playing great footy for the Jets and has always done his job when he’s gotten the call up to first grade.

Type of guy a clubs lucky today have. A decent player that doesn’t mind being down the pecking order

I was impressed with his play filling in last year at the Titans away game. He didn't let us down at all...

80 minutes will test him though.
