yep, does some clever stuff, needs a good feed or two
Needs to nail shots from 30m out. He is only a forward. He is there to kick goals or at least create goals for others.
absolutely, fair point.  He is usually a good kick for goal, needs to shake off the nerves in the big leagues.  Games/experience will give him the confidence.

I think he has promise as ruck as well....maybe not a first ruck but at least as an upgrade on what Griffiths and Vickery offer in that role....which wouldn't be hard....

At first yes...and he'll require a rigorous pre-season or two of being trained up in the role.... .but Vickery still gets brushed aside now (when he's not trying to avoid contact altogther that is) and he's already shown more glimpses of ability and guts in the ruck in his 5 minutes there than Vickery has in 8 years.....

Be interesting to see where he is at in another 4 weeks.

Back in the VFL I reckon  :rollin :rollin

Seriously, they've said he will get 3-4 weks guaranteed, so he has 2 more guwranteed weeks to show / do something

I was being a tad  :sarcasm when i posted the above

But struth I was right  :lol

Another ruined player at the RFC. Is anyone really surprised. We either can pick duds or we are really good at deskilling any player with an ounce of potential that's not to say I didn't laugh when I first saw McBean and I wasn't expecting him to make it because a player like him needs a real good development program.

Poor bastard was probably an ok player and at a good club may have forged a good career for himself and that club probably might of had some success too but unfortunately for him he was picked by our man Betamax and his career ended before it even started.  :rollin
 
The club that keeps giving.
