The brains trust game him plenty of minutes (88) And the boy did ok.

A little skinny and lacked a little strength a couple of times but overall I think it was a pretty good debut.
What I liked most was his pressure (21 pressure acts) without the footy he was Johnny on the spot harassing and tacking (2 tackles).  :clapping
Almost half his possessions were contested.

Few fumbles to be expected but solid debut.

Great coaching by Hardwick to play the kid last night. He will learn a lot and from what Ive been told he did ok getting abit of education by playing on Shuey.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think he was good at all.
I know that is harsh and it doesn’t mean I think he won’t be a good player going forward but I thought he let the occasion get to him.
He fumbled everything he touched IMO.

The only way is up after that game, but good on the kid, and Dimma for throwing him the deep end.

He fumbled 2-3 times. Otherwise clean in a hard debut.

Looked the goods to me. Nice hands and agility.

A couple of nice hand passes and a couple of horrible ones...looked completely out of his depth at times and clearly still too skinny....but overall showed good signs.... :shh
