Good work, I said last week it will be done before Origin and they worked quickly. Now he just has to make the Queensland team and he can go head to head with Smith.

 

[1910]

Is he likely to see first grade before 2025?

I said 2024 would be the earliest outcome. That was based on 20-30 ISC games.

 

[1910]

Can anyone report how he has been going and some Queensland cup stats. He was a beast in last years mal meninga grand final

He can't play ISC. Hasn't played for a month now, and won't play for at least another month is the plan.

Won't play what? What's the next step for him?

 

[1910]

Won't play a game. He hasn't played since the MM final a month ago and is likely to not play again before the Origin another month away.

Ahh I didn't realise their origin was a month off. Is the next step after origin to get him in an ISC team? And if so who is he assigned to?

 

[1910]

Mozer has extended twice now, November 2020 at 16 and today. Doesn't muck around or entertain much else.

It’s qld cup for South’s Logan Magpies like he did in Mal Meninga. Might get a debut before u19 origin which is on 23rd of June. But unlikely I think they originally had the goal of bulking up and playing cup within about a month of MM GF. That probably won’t happen cause really he has 2 Possible games before the origin game which they are 11th and 18th of June. Presumably he would be in a camp of sorts on the 18th and wouldn’t play that. I reckon he will probably be seen on 3rd of July which is their 3rd game from now.

While I definitely hope he gets 20-30 games in cup before a full time role, he might get the odd stint off of the bench later next season - similar to Mam’s couple of early appearances.

Regardless this is huge news for the club. Just need to extend Cobbo now.

Love it. Looks like he has huge potential. Blistering speed off the mark. Could be our Harry Grant.
Hope to see him play couple of games next year. He is a specialist 9 too so not makeshift like Walters and Paix.
Turps days are over. Love it!

Thanks for the info! Keen to see more of him.

Another bit of smart recruitment by Ikin. Also signals with certainty there is no room for Turpin...

Poor old Turpin has just disappeared off the radar in the last month, hasn't he? 'fins?

I do feel for turps. He flew off the blocks but just was never the same after he broke his leg. He's not a natural athlete but worked Dam hard for us. Seems like a top guy too. I re watched Billy play against manly, he was outstanding and I think the current paix/billy combo works pretty well! They will only continue to improve as well.

Hooker makes it hard, Mam can be protected at three in, you can't be protected in the middle. He physically couldn't do it. That's why he hasn't been playing they're trying to get him physically ready.

Completely agree but 12 months is plenty of time to bulk up, especially in a professional athlete environment. Enough to play 2 or 3 20 minute stints off the bench mid to late 2023.

This is big news. This kid looks phenomenal in the little I’ve seen of him. With him and Mam locked up and Cobbs to soon follow plus the battle emerging for fullback with Herbs, our spine succession plan for Reynolds is starting to take shape. Once Mozer is ready, him and Paix will be an incredibly one-two punch.

Mozer will play 80 minutes.
