Whether he is good enough for a pro contract is for a different debate. All coaches have things they look for and there will be a coach that will offer him a pro contract out there I am sure. Ricki gave Totori a pro contract. I think its safe to say that most people on this forum would not have however Ricki saw something he wanted in him.

Of the occasions I have seen him, he has not shown anything that would suggest he is as good as or better than other players in the u20s. I am unsure of his age and if he is eligible or not but looking at him purely from an NZ playing perspective, it seems the only coach that picks him is Declan. I wonder why that is... Declan has produced some players but then like all coaches, there will be the ones that wont be much more than they are. In my opinion, he is one of those players.
