He’s one of the few that could.

uncle nick does know his work unfortunately for our game
Good luck to the guy - I hope he makes lots of $$$$$

Agree. He’s one of the few who has enhanced their reputation and has the skill set League would want as well as the size.
I hope it’s just a test of the waters/get RA to pay me now.

He grew playing league.

I’d be more concerned about Max Jorgensen who’d be a sensational back up to James Tedesco on the wing and then take over when he retires. Particularly with the family connection to the Roosters.

1. he grew up playing both like a lot of people
2. Just because he played league when he was young, doesnt mean it will translate to the highest level of league.
dont really understand your reply.
also has family connections to the Wartatahs - for what its worth

Have you considered that there might be some posters who do not know what his background is? I was not trying to make a point, I was trying to add information.

Me too purely out of curiosity.
I think he’d kill it. What do they want in their wingers. Big, athletic, fast, aerial. Don’t think he’d shy away from the hit ups they expect from Wingers either.

He might be suggesting that he has a history with the sport and enjoys it- why shouldn’t he have a crack?

Apologies, I read the tone of your comment incorrectly.

I watch very little of the other code. But they seem to value speed above all, then handling ability and agility.

Absolutely. The Wingers are specialists to make meters and score the try. The creative is on the 9,6,7,1 (13 at times) and the rest are to be in the right place at the right time for them to find you. Simple job but if you do it well they pay you well. You can just as fast be shown the door because there are 10 others like you in State Cup.
It's why when we talk about what League players could play Rugby it takes some assessment because we ask them to think more on the field and your actions have more consequences i.e. get isolated attempting to run around someone it will be a turnover. Doesn't happen in League.

At the risk of banging-on about the pathways…
Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) couldn’t get a gig in the mainstream RA pathways, was always on the fringe, having gone to an unfashionable school.
A person clearly of immense talent, was playing NSW IIs from memory.
BPA was another example.

Playing NSW II is a very high level of school boy achievement. Plenty of Wallabies have missed out on getting that far.
He debuted for the Tahs when he was 20 and played NRC at 19 so it's not as if he was in the wilderness forgotten about. If anything he flew through the pathways.
BPA is better example who was playing for Southern Districts for a 5 years before the Reds reached out. He had played NRC for the Western Sydney & NSW Country before this.

My point is that you can’t blame him for not being a rugby diehard when he’s seen that you’re on your own. No loyalty or harm in trying out for NRL (ahem) ‘royalty’.
…and NSW IIs is indeed a high level, but you’re never getting picked for Aus schoolboys from there…He found his way up through his own efforts.
