in his position. He’s 6’9 and 150kg plus! Difference is that he
went over at 20 and had only played “A” team equivalent rugby
league in the NRL in Australia. Nowhere near the history LRZ has
and much more malleable.

so it’s prime time for him to work over there for 3-4 years and
come back if he never transitions fully. Profiles as a wide

receiver despite being a winger on the rugby pitch.

He is a similar age to some players entering the draft but the
players of the same age as LRZ have come out of a highly
competitive college league, especially if from SEC out of the
power 5 conferences let alone high school football. Playing in
the power 5 conferences (maybe 4 soon but that’s another story)
is such a high level, gives these players coming to draft such
an advantage still, for teams like Bama that operate on a
virtually pro system isn’t a huge step up to the NFL.

I wonder what position he’ll end up being allocated in the
pathway. Say he wants to go down the WR route then 4.50 is only
0.02 below average. Not taking anything away from him, my 40
time would have people popping of for a pint and getting back
before I finished.

His 40 yard dash time was 4.43 which is pretty good for a
“bigger” receiver but his broad jump and vertical jump were well
off where they need to be and it’ll prevent him from being used
as an outside wide receiver.
He’s a sort of slot receiver running back hybrid. Probably shown
enough to stick on a practice squad for 2 years, before coming
back for RWC 2027.

Cheers for the 40 time, I only read the twitter text. I haven’t
seen the scores for the broad or vertical jump yet.

If they do get picked for an NFL franchise they will get a
minimum of £1,000,000 dollars so I would say good luck to them
it’s worth a punt.

That’s all well and good but what’s the exchange rate for
£dollars? 🤔

Still a lot more than a Prem non marquee wage.
