Somebody must have seen some promise in him as he played Queensland U20's with Ronaldo

He played 6 in a team with Cory Paix at 7, Tanah Boyd unavailable, Croft and Clifford too old, Walker, James and Dearden too young. Qld had him behind all of those players.

He was part of the emerging Qld squad for several years, but was never seen as the “next big thing”. He was just a solid player. His kicking game in u20’s was above average for u20’s though.

Having a good kicking game is half the battle. Pardon the pun.

I think he can be good in a good system. It’s about having the right players and structure around him.

I mean, I’d be happy having him do his thing at the right price and stack the team in other areas.

This is exactly my point. He’s not the star, but if he can give you what Townsend gave you in 2016 he may be just the right guy for the job.

Burgo, interesting that your day he's only ever been a solid organising half. Not having seen him outside of first grade, I'd somehow gotten the impression he was an up and coming gun. Would love him to be, but it's all on faith right now

That was purely just some in here frothing over him not being Chad.

An ineligible centre played at fullback now being seen as a low quality winger?

Good game by all the halves.. having another actual half out there helped BT’s game heaps

Much better today. Yep that 40/20 was epic.
He seemed to be a more team player today instead
Of trying to do everything himself. Hope he can keep it up.

Thought this bloke was ****?

We didn't put 50 on due to a Trindall masterclass, but as I've said, he shows ability. Has a big boot, which we need. That cut out for a try was great, though a few other shorter balls were a bit off. Had a good game and used the space and bountiful opportunities presented.

We need to see him have that composure under pressure. I'm going he has that in him, and he has the perfect chance to show it over the next fortnight
