Has an interview in the Member zone, which suggests he is on the radar for NRL consideration later in the year. Comes across quite well, and makes an interesting observation on where the squad is at this preseason compared with last year.

What position/s can he play?
5/8. I think they played him at fullback in the 20s last year. He has speed and can pass so probably could play anywhere in the backs, provided his defence reaches an acceptable standard.

Sounds like Pita Hiku 2.0
The Nines should suit him perfectly and he should learn heaps over there playing against some 1st grade players. If he doesn't get injured he will be a great asset if we get injuries anywhere in the backline.

Jono, Tom and Matthew are 3 of a set of quintuplets. The other 2 are playing for Bradford.

Much faster and more evasive than Hiku. If he turns out like its expected, he'll be a lot better than Hiku

Possible 3/4 with a bit more growth and experience?

Early days but I was thinking the same thing. If he can get his game to the next level and against a 13 side team, he just may be the answer for 5/8 in a year or two.

First Grader
With the giant arse of Andrew Johns thrown in for good measure.
Those videos are a few years old now but still impressive. He's obviously got a lot of skill. But he was also bigger, stronger and faster than most of his opponents.
How does he stack up physically these days? NRL players are generally a lot bigger and tougher than rugby-playing schoolboys…

This guy could be huge for us if developed correctly. As always it's 50/50 stepping over from junior union to league but he looks to have the goods.
ARU was gutted to loose him to the bozo brain trust.
The elusive running style is silky smooth. A lot like Hayne IMHO.
Bring on the nines and fingers crossed we may be able to cut another highlights reel together....
