Never heard of him, but I guess we could use some more backrow depth with Stagg & Lowrie leaving.

11 tries in 23 games for a second rower isn't a bad strike rate at all

Yeah posted about this earlier today, interesting signing, some will say we have too many backrowers as it is, but he has also spent a fair bit of time in the centres as well so a bit of depth in the backs doesn't hurt either. Won't be one of the frontrunners at this stage, definitely a depth signing with a bit of potential.

 

[Porthoz]

Only 91 Kg for his height, or is that a typo?

At the age of 21 it sounds around about right especially if he plays a bit of centre.

 

[Big Pete]

Actually, it was a typo.

92kgs*

 

[talanoa]

could well turn out to be the worst signing in history.

 

[Big Pete]

Even worse than Waddell?

 

[GCBRONCO]

That's quite a big turd to overcome for that to be achieved.

 

[Broncs1459]

Reeds Shoulder
Kahus knees
Copley gets injured a fair bit

Makes sense they want a little depth in the centres

 

[talanoa]

Even worse than Waddell?

hahahahaha, tuimavave-gerard makes waddell look like he has skill and can play.

What's wrong with him?

 

[broncos4life]

could well turn out to be the worst signing in history.

Care to elaborate?

 

[K-Style]

Well this gets interesting. How can he be worse than:

Kennedy

Gavet would have to be up there too considering.

 

[broncos4life]

Would be great to get some info or actual context around why he is 'the worst' signing ever rather than just statements...

 

[Drewbs]

Well Bennett has recruited pretty well so far. He must see the goods in Tuimavave.
