@mofitzy_ while he hasnt nailed a starting spot for us, he has started several games.
I'd have liked him to stay on as I think he has real potential, particularly if he adds a bit of size to his frame as he does look a bit lean, that I expect he will in a fully professional environment, which I expect will help with his physicality.
He was in the Blues WTG or Dev team this season and acquitted himself well,IIRC think there was an opportunity for him to get some real Blues action too following an injury but they went somewhere else?

Only 23 though.
Maybe he has Aussie heritage?
Looks more Scottish.
He's from Cambridge and went to school at St Peter's. I don't know anymore than that.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:
The Canterbury Bulldogs will use legendary All Blacks coach Steve Hansen to scour the best rugby union talent across the Ta$man after announcing the World Cup winner will join the club as a high-performance consultant.
I wonder if Hansen will describe himself as an "ex-New Zealander" now?

"Legendary", Really?
what else would he have to do? Assistant during 8 dominant years leading up to a RWC, head coach for a RWC cycle that we dominated and (in hindsight) purred to victory on the back of a clutch of amazing players, and then 4 years which were bumpy where we just didn't get up at the end.
16 years with the ABs, 2RWC, Bledisloe Cups, RC and Tri Nations, Grand Slams ... yuo're a tough marker!

Just to elaborate - your own post says it all.
"Assistant",
"On the back of amazing players"Yes he was a part of a great team.

@nzzp I think he would have been legendary had he called it quits in 2017. But his last three years makes me wonder if he was made to look better than he actually was with the various GOATs in the team as well as having Wayne Smith in the coaching setup.

@akan004 yeah like he wouldn't have had truckloads of shit thrown at him for foisting Foster on us midway through the RWC cycle.

Nah that was the plan which we all thought was sensible. Bed in post 2015 goat etc exodus, do the lions, then leave. Perfect sense, only 2016 was undefeated year and so they signed him for two extra years, sadly when we got to 2017 it was obviously a year too far
