100%. Men his size, strength and ability await him in every opposing jersey every single week. I hope he can handle it but I also hope he doesn't become another Greg Waddell.
Geez In briefs, you are as biased as you are illogical. More than 3/4 of the clip was RL, and there was only about 2 runs that he did in the RU - the rest were him defending. Gee those junior RU kids are easy to tackle...
Rugby Australua refused to disclose their payout to Izzy. Not long after the payout they said they are 10 million in the red. And a world wide plague to the Union and the rest of the planet for good measure. Looks like Israel the ex union player was spot on.
Given the first place I saw this was on Fox Sports, who have been death riding Australian rugby ever since Castle had the audacity to say they would consider other broadcaster options in an open market, I would go as far as saying that the whole thing is entirely fabricated.
Funny, in those clips he went through the junior league defenders like a knife through butter but I didn’t see him get through many defenders in the rugby union clips.
A tall lanky awkward looking overrated player, whom is just another player who has huge money thrown at him for somthing he has not proven himself at. One thing is certain, if he wants to develop into somthing extraordinary, it will not happen at Soufths.... and he knows it. Hence his intention to leave. If some clown amateur code offer double what Soufths have, then take the money. I doubt he will make it in League with its toughness. Union is more suited to the soft type. Off you go and see ya latter. If he was any good he would have been offered a brilliant path into the NRL via the World Champion Sydney Roosters. But no offer has ever been discussed, undoubtedly proving he is....but an overrated dud.
Do you think he will fill out enough to ever play in the centres? I’m sceptical be quite has the right build for 13. Looks like an outside back to me, either on the wing like Roff or at fullback.
You can't offer 3 mil for someone who is just 16 and hasn't play professional.
But agree though with Tim Horans comments. Better off playing union where he can travel the world and play in a real world cup and earn bigger money.
Play league and he'll stuck in Aussie for the most part of his playing career.
Just another union player league wanna snatch up.
Yeah could be playing for teh Tahs later this year they're saying. I would have thought he'd have to train with the squad a bit to check he is up to it. And how can he train full time with the team and do HSC next year?

No team or organisation in Rugby ever discloses the amount.

If that's the size he is at 16 he could easily be 110+ by 20.

Helps that he'll be taller than most of them too then I guess.

There's a longer- 2-3 minute - compilation if you search him on youtube. Looks pretty good. I hope he commits to Union

Meh! If I played against kindly kids I’d look good too. Some potential no doubt but nothing to get excited over until he plays against seniors

Helps being a foot taller then the other school boys. Let's see if he can do that against the ABs.

Is it 3 mil. RA says that's rubbish.. But also not disclosing the amount.. Some intrigue there....

LOL... 3$ mill, buy your HSC, or pay a stand-in?? School donation? Where there's a will there's a relative...
