hi any eels fans just wanted to know any info on this guy,as he's been linked with the bulls over here,so any opinions would be welcolme.

I liked the bloke, but and worked with him at North Sydney in 2007 when he was at Souths. Then he went to Cowboys. Tbh. Has spent a lot of time in the reserves throughout his career. But who knows how he'll travel over there. Sam Obst and Ben Fisher spring to mind. The latter playing in a reserve grade side that got smashed week in week out and were bottom (norths) then goes to England and plays SL.

It's hard to gauge.

Does he have some aggression in him or is the laid back type of player? We could do with a Prop who isn't afraid of roughing up the opposition a bit.

Competent, but that's all. Just be mindful he's played 89 games in 7 seasons and only 2 for Parra. How does he qualify to play over there? Is he an import? ie. Australian. or does he go in as a Tongan?

think he's coming as a tongan

I guess he must be as he hasn't played enough first grade games here to qualify to meet the requirement.

Any opinions on Anthony Watts? Must admit, not seen him play and probably heard more about his off the field "issues" than on the field play.

I rate him as a impact hooker, very quick out of the play the ball.

I haven't seen great organising skills off him but he should have enough for SL.

Tough cookie,seemed to have slipped off the NRL radar,has been playing down the road from me for Tugun Seahawks,like most imports,will depend how hw settles,aggressive player.

Thanks guys, due to the increased salary cap + poor exchange rate, I think the club have found it far more difficult to to attract players from the NRL than they thought they would. Sounds like if Watts settles, he should go ok for us.

Anyone know much about how well plays at Joel Moon centre? For that matter what is his best position Rt Centre/Lt /Stand off/13?
