He’s certainly putting his name in lights, exactly what Kingy has asked for.

True, but at least he stands out

Funny my father long ago when I was playing under 18's said it is pity you don't have long blonde hair. You need something to make you stand out. I think he was just being nice as my ability sure didn'take me stand out.

Or you could watch him train on multiple occasions if you have the opportunity. I do, I did, I believe.

Was taken by his arrogance or should that word be confidence and maybe nonchalence, just looked to me like he has just donned the Superman suit and believes it may well be "His Time" I hope so because he looked super impressive yesterday!

Really like him in a more fwd role with stints in the mid. Really hope he gets a chance to play in a role that suits his skill and not as some have speculated as a 2nd ruck.

Broken out in 2025

Going to sit on the fence a little bit here and say that both things can be true and it's all relative to the players level to start with.

An establishing player can have a breakout year that establishes them in the team and an established player can have one where they go to an elite level.

In my view, it's all about a player taking their game to the next level in a big step, rather than one of slow incremental improvement.

Perhaps with Culley it's more of a break through year, where a player goes from fringe to best 22, playing the vast majority of the season in the seniors…?

Seems to have a few doubters.
I aint one of them.
Reckon he's gonna be a rippa.
