• Good spatial awareness -- played junior basketball
• Confident -- annoying prat
• Marketable -- rugby league convert/Sudanese

You could substitute Skipper for Paul O'Shea and not miss a beat.

We can't believe he was still available at our selection = The draft selections fell exactly according to plan before our pick

For his age, we still think he has plenty in the tank and will be a great acquisition to the club -
