The big difference with tuck is that tuck got a lot of his contested ball still on his feet and used his strength to stand up in tackles.....

And kick goals from beyond 50

He handballs more than tuck , pretty constructive too, great compliment to cotch, lids and Martin  did I say he can tackle too, 7 tackles in  a game , set up an awesome passage of play with a crunching bone jarring tackle on ablett. He can play a bit this fella don't worry about that,  :shh

Thought he kept us in it early with his hardness and tackling. I really like what i've seen of him. We need more hard, big-bodied mids like him.
Very early days but looks like a good get.

When you consider our hard tackling recruits lately in Grigg, Houli, Chaplain and Pettard this dude makes a welcome difference

Love this bloke.

Can't question his determination to get the ball and attack on the contest but gee his disposal as times is shocking

Sometimes you've got to know your limitations  ;D

mixed feelings still

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

for sure, thats why i have mixed feelings rather than just criticise him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
