Whilst I agree he deserves a shot in first grade, I really do think he'll get found out quickly and disappoint a lot of people.
A large chunk of his attacking game is his ability to float sideways in attack after an offload and find a gap. In NSW Cup the defensive line seems to hold off and give him a lot of space to move around, I don't reckon he'll be given as much space by the defensive line to find that gap in firsts.
Another large part of his attacking game is his "show and go". I think it'll be successful for his first couple of game but much like Robson's "show and go" on the line, when it works a few times oppostition coaches will tell their players to watch for it and it'll become ineffective.
So I hope the guy gets a shot, but I'm not expecting an x-factor type second rower.
