Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3004285, member: 9052"] For me it is probably a carry over from his 20's days where he was playing 80mins a game at prop and churning through 200m a game. His progress has been very steady, but in 2016 or 17 (can't remember off the top of my head) he formed a fantastic bench combination with TPJ maybe even the best in the comp... and that may have been the breakout for him. Combine that with being only 23 and it would suggest he's about to hit the prime of his career from right now. I'll be interested to see how he plays this year under a coach like Seibold. He's not as explosive as other forwards, but he has also been playing under what I would consider more conservative game plans for his career to date. In summary he's a workhorse prop, with reliable ball security that isn't a penalty magnet... who also has age on his side and plenty of potential from his junior days. In other teams he's probably playing 80 at lock. $500k seems a lot, but 4 years is a good length. I also have no real idea how the salary cap looks. We have been in retention mode so potentially they're putting funds aside for all these guys... we basically only have Oates, TPJ and Fifita left after him to lock down long term. [/QUOTE]
