I already knew this but couldn’t comment as it hadn’t been officially announced. I even asked Jacob on Sunday did he know when it would be made official & he didn’t know.
I was really pleased for him as I think he is an excellent prospect

Great news! I think he's a top prospect. I have a bit of a Dom Manfredi feeling about him (hopefully without the injury issues). I think he'll become a regular starter in the next year or two.

He got the ball with some space in front of him on Sunday and his body movement and stature made me think of Mandredi straight away. He didn't quite get away in the way that Mandredi would've by using his upper body strength to shrug off the defender but Douglas is young and developing and he looks a real prospect.

He definitely has that feel about him. I've thought so whenever I've seen him. If he gets anywhere close to Dom we'll have a good one! Dom was about the saddest case of injuries ruining a career that I've seen. He had it in him to be amongst the very best.

Just wondering what has happened with Miski this year. Leading try scorer last year. Maybe look at what King was doing so well as centre last year?
