I disagree Blazza. If he learns the game well he'd be good enough. He's an elite athlete. Hope he makes it and it's gonna be an unbelievable challenge but I'm backing him.
I reckon he'll be back soon too.....that said, Good on him! Chasing a dream, i hope he does well!
I must say i like him more now because of his decision to go....always thought he lacked heart...and he may well do....though this proves he has plenty of testicular fortitude!
