Mixed emotions on Stringer.

I saw that his forward 50 pressure/tackles landed 3rd behind our best two in Cadman and Jones but that'll be a motivation thing.

I think playing next to Hogan/Toby there's no way he will be allowed to play 'Jake Ball'. Kingsley will drop him.

CBAs wise....maybe his burst makes him more dangerous from time to time but there is no way he's better than Toby.

Honestly I am fascinated how this will turn out. From the posts here and his history the ceiling is extremely high....but that floor.....THAT FLOOOOOR...seems low.

His pressure is actually not bad for a bloke who's a pseudo-KPP. It's an underrated part of his game IMO.

Jake is absurdly good, when he's good. Enjoy the highs, the rest of the team's system should be good enough to make the lows a non-issue.

And I think that's it: Kingsley will drop him. He's been moved on from both of the clubs he has played for, and has shown he can't change his spots.
