Agree, he is a bull. Overall pretty impressive debut.

| In his second game, he was clearly one of our best players, with 20 disposals, 8 tackles and a goal. What impressed me the most, however, was that at times he showed genuine pace and his kicking is excellent. His long kick to Aish in the goals square was terrific. This kid has a big future with us and at last we have some size and grunt around the packs. Well done Rupe. |

Spot on RB. He is 23 and has a lot of games in him, be it VFL. He has mongrel in him and he wants the ball. |

did reasonably well.
Keep taking the game on even if he gets caught every now and then.
needs another preseason under his belt.

| His confidence built as the game went on and we started seeing more from him. Wills deserved a call up, but it's a great example of the benefit of giving games to young players when the season is done. Reckon it will really set up 2017 for him. |

You've been back in the kid since the bye for a game and with good reason now we see him. Well done Rupe keep working hard lad |

Was really impressed at how hard he worked in the 2nd half after a quiet 1st, shows a depth of character we really need at this stage

I was watching for how he disposed of it when uncontested, and aha his goalkicking was like. Tick tick. Upgraded in my eyes from Danny Stanley to possible North guy Cunnington. Don't think that will be my last revision either, showed some very good signs last night.

He's got more pace than I thought he had. Overall, there's a lot to be excited about. |

Let hope our first pick in last years draft who is similar to Wills exceeds him but looks like Wills will be a 200 game player, looks really good.

He's a tackling machine with eight tackles against the Tigers. I've been impressed with what he's offered to the team at the moment.
I'd like to see us play him for the rest of the year and then hopefully he can build from that in 2017.
