As someone else wrote earlier in the thread, his tendency to float across from the side and take marks works really well off a wing. He's either marking with a height mismatch on a single opponent, or coming across as an extra for defensive contests from the side where he can use that ability to come across the front of a pack laterally and mark.

duursma does the same thing i've noticed. very very handy, especially defensively

Playing the Mitch Brown role better than Mitch Brown.

Does what we've wanted Cox to do on the wing. Surely Jones to the wing & Cox to the twos.

Rather put Cox back so that Ridley can play intercept

 

[EnolaGay]

jesus, how many did he take when he was subbed off?

Maybe he was trading in German marks and bearer bonds?

He is a different player on the wing.

Who would have thunk that?

 

[Vindicater]

Okay.

He is a wing...

Took us a while but we worked it out.

this guy will be a star on wing , richo clone

 

[JT_the_Man]

He was ****ing awesome. Good luck going with him on a wing.

Cox and Jones as tall athletic wingers wasn't on my radar but its an interesting work in progress

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

His work rate and size are a huge asset on the wing.

I had him all but written off but he's slowly fighting back.

I'll jump on the bandwagon if he gets a haircut

Slowly?

This kids hands are fantastic. He marks and tackles.

It was interesting watching the mark and goal. He was left with space to run and launch and that he did. As someone else mentioned, I think it may have been The Prosecutor , being able to run the wing and float across from the side works for him. He seems to be gaining confidence. If his body is good then it is time to sign him up long term.

Obviously his leap and marking stands out but I think he’s brought excellent speed as well.

At the games you see him really covering the ground well to get to opponents or run to space to receive. The man is an athlete

Keep the hair, look at what happened to Perkins when he went the chop, Sampson vibes!

 

[Vindicater]

The tackle on DeGoey was awesome. Stuck it and just halted his momentum.

Loving what I’m seeing from Harry.

He’s very brave in the air and they are starting to stick. Blight used to talk about “honest jumpers” - guys who totally commit body to the aerial contest, with no slight duck of the head or turning of the body for self-protection. Just see ball, get ball. Jones is like that.

Tackling and pressure I think would be “elite” for someone his height, same for his ability to get up and back.

Becoming a good footballer.

Even pre draft testing I think he had that rare combo of elite pace and endurance.

Sorry, I was wrong, he’s not young sexy Richo, he’s old man wing Richo

 

[Petrify]

Genuinely one of the most exciting wing prospects I've seen. Did he ever play there in juniors? If yes then why did it take us so long to figure out? If no then brilliant coaching move

Was out last night & missed the game, but got up early to watch as much as I could before babysitting.
Got to 1/2 way through the third quarter & he's in my top 2 players.

What's his contract situation?
