This could be the signing that makes a real difference to our style of play IMHO. More ball in hand and not kicking everything...

What odds if we get him in and his first three touches are all box kicks :-)

After engaging in some chat forum's with Chief's fans I am not overly optimistic. They have commented that his ruck clearance was very slow and he acted like a handbrake at times.

He sounds like a better version of Gus Warr with the same sort of game, just more refined. Maybe similar to Van Zyl who I personally think is one of the most under rated players in the league.

In the clips I have seen he has a decent break and backs up breaks like a good scrummy should
do. Much faster than Gus by the looks of things.

Sorry RT but those two comments would seem to contradict one another

I'm not overly optimistic about it changing our style of play (as previous comment was hoping it would). He's not a Raffi Quirke type player.
Being similar to another player doesn't make them as good. I am a rangey ball playing 13 who likes a kick - doesn't make me Henry Slade.
Van Zyl has offered a lot of solidarity and consistency at Sarries and doesn't get the credit he deserves imo. Not the best in the league, but does his job very well.
Does that clarify?
