WP:NSPORT says that for a rugby league player to be notable, the player has to have played at least one match in a fully professional league. In Australia, that is the National Rugby League (NRL). This article was created in 2009, when the player might have been considered an up-and-comer, playing in the Newcastle Knights' Under-20s (Toyota Cup) team. But he has never cracked first-grade NRL football, as the notablity standards require. According to this source, he hasn't played in the Toyota Cup for over a year: the article is thus out of date when it says "He plays at second row and prop in the Under-20s Toyota Cup competition". There is no significant coverage in reliable sources. Mkativerata (talk) 21:36, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support: No mentions in the Sydney Morning Herald, Canberra Times or ABC. --LauraHale (talk) 01:54, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:RLN. WWGB (talk) 02:04, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Agree with those above. Hasn't played in the NRL, so fails NSPORT and I can't find any significant coverage (this passing mention in the Newcastle Herald is all gnews brings up), so fails the general notability guideline as well. Jenks24 (talk) 03:51, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Well yeah the article was created by me a while ago when he was an up & comer but hasn't made FG yet so I guess it's not really eligible for Wikipedia. But he is still playing in NSW Cup for the Knights so you guys can make the decision. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 04:31, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If he's still playing for the Knights in the NSW Cup, we could always redirect the article to Newcastle's page instead of deleting it, so the page history is still there to be restored in case Wayne Bennett thinks he has something. --Mkativerata (talk) 04:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
