Shifty :



Where do you get a 5 years injury problem from bud? 

He's averaged over 20 games a year between the NRL and NSW/Q Cup since he made the NRL in 2021, which for his age and position is pretty solid imo especially when you consider who he's behind in that Broncos front row - Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan and Jordan Riki. The only bad injury to my knowledge, that kept him out was when he suffered an MCL injury, which kept him out for about 8 weeks, but he still managed to play in 18 games. That's the only real injury I can remember him having, or can find info on, keeping him out for any time.

He played 16 NRL games in 2021 and 4 NWS Cup.
He played 14 NRL games in 2022 and 6 NSW Cup.
He played 16 NRL games inb 2023 and 9 NSW Cup
He played 12 NRL games in 2024 and 8 Q Cup.
He played 2 NRL games this year before Maguire sent him down to Q Cup because he promoted potential star Ben Te Kura, who's an absolute beast for a 21-year-old, the tallest player in the NRL at 6ft 9 and weighs probably 125kg.


From what I've heard watching the NRL, he's out of contract at the Broncos this year and has already expressed his desire to move back to Sydney, and Michael Maguire wants to make room on the cap, so he wants to let him move on.

He's a good player and exactly the right age, 25, which fits with what we're doing. I think he'll get another contract in the NRL, but I would be very happy if he landed at Trinity.
