Otago 2023
-
Hurley was a gun first five at high school. Only really moved into fullback in the last couple of years. I think his pace is key at the back. Just needs to have a few pies.
-
@SouthernMann ...that wouldn;t just turn him into a prop...isn;t he short too? not just skinny
-
I'd like to see him standing beside other midgets such as Kolbe and McKenzie to see how small he actually is.
-
@SouthernMann you're right, is that AJay on the left? if so he doesn;t look much taller
-
AJ is quite small too, I understand. Around 1.75. So Hurley must be somewhere between 172 and 174?
Jack Taylor is reasonably small as well.
Hurley does look very muscular though.
-
@SouthernMann He isn't going to grow any taller now.
The key for Hurley is whether he has/will put on some weight/mass with the S&C since leaving school. There are a number of shorter fullbacks playing in NZ but you still need to be able to cope with the increased physicality in the senior ranks.

Yeah he's fully grown now. If he could get himself into the early to mid 80s, it should be a decent playing weight for him

I'm hoping the wee fella gets a decent run in the NPC to see whether he is up to getting smacked around. His upside in attack is pretty good.
-
Back in 2020, for OB's both Finn and Cam played in the same side. Finn actually played first five and Cam played full back in the first few games but that combo didn't work, but they swapped and they started to dominate a lot more so they've got history as a 10,15 combo which may come in handy
-
Massive News out at the mighty Grizzlies (sorry GI man here). But also for Otago, is that Jake Te Hiwi is starting at 12 this Saturday for GI. Will be at the game so can give an update on how he goes tomorrow
-
I understand the NPC squad will be named today. Any hints about who the newbies will be?
-
