  1. He has acceleration and lateral movement of a Robinson and Bennett, but he can maintain that speed, even accelerate more, and moves wonderfully in laterally if needs ti, so really agile, rather like Jonathan Davies, but of a higher and more powerful weight class. Could be amazing as a centre?

  2. So there could be scope for more improvements with the right coach...stride length has to be developed through stronger muscles and explosiveness through doing PLyo exs...and sleds these days too...he could be a handful for the NFL... @ScarScream

  3. Agree he could be a line-breaker who can score tries, as Robinson was, which is rare for a centre. In fact he could play almost anywhere, and be a danger to opposition.

  4. A Phil Bennet with superior speed and strength, just like Jason Robinson. Look forward to seeing him play for England and the Lions.

  7. I don't watch NFL, I played Soccer, but interestingly Warren the Wales manager very highly rates him as an athlete, and said he is a physical specimen...AND he was not fit when he reported to play for Wales...but he apparently responded in super quick time to the training methods...showing he has great potential to improve...and shone like a beacon on the pitch...so he needs someone to find the right position for him, and above all...train and coach him...top athletes have very transferable skills, which makes it easier for them to learn the technical stuff...and in relation to that, he is coming out to NFL as he watched it as a youngster, so he must be already familiar with the plays etc... Let's see...I shall keep my eyes out for him, I did see some clips on You Tube and he has acceleration, he has very good top speed, and he has really good lateral change of direction...and an eye for a gap...so he can beat men...I think unless I am wrong about NFL...the one thing he will need to improve most is top speed...as I know from my interest in athletics many yrs ago-there are many top class American sprinters, some of whom go into NFL...which as you said in reference to this are of his game......there is room for improvement there as his stride is too short...he should do well...BUT he needs a really top coach...and to do a lot of hard work for at least 3 yrs...maybe that's why he has decided to come now when he is still young, as he had a very promising rugby career lined up for many yrs...hence, he should keep improving a lot until his late 20's which gives him 6-8 yrs of upward progression...all the very best @ScarScream
