This guy needs his own thread, because he is our last great hope of salvaging something from the impending wreckage of 2016. This guy is a better prospect than Elgey IMO, because he doesn't run with his chin glued to the bottom of his neck (in case some of you haven't noticed, Elgey has a peculiar running style haha).
Im the serious stakes however, this kid has all the skills. He played in the 7 along side Brooks who wore 6 in the NSW under 20's which also contained Clinton Gutherson at 1; come on Clint, get in this guys ear. He is young and you can build a team around a young half. He is not Sandow or Hodkinson, so he has that going for him too. Canberra had high hopes for this kid, but with Stuart at the helm, his confidence has probably taken a shot, but he can find it again at Manly.
My team for next year looks like this;
Snake
Gutherson
Hiku
Matai
Taufua
Lyon
Cornish
Myles
Ballin
Jake Trbojevic
Sika Manu
Symonds
Buhrer
Mateo
Lawrence
Lui
McInnes
I think we should look at Albert Kelly as well, because he can cover a few positions, and the chances of Cornish and Lyon remaining fit for the duration of the season are slim.
That could be simply because of sticky he seems like a coach that not everyone can respond to, to be honest he seems like a real toss, real sad sack came across in the media after the win over souffs as a real wanker....just strange.I am from Canberra & have watched every one of his 1st grade games. He was supposed to be the next big thing, the next Ricky Stuart. He seems over coached & lost that instinctive approach. He looked very ordinary in most games, so I am not a fan.
I've been more impressed with Blake Austin. The guy is on fire this year. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
He signed a 3 year deal with the Raiders stating this year, after leaving the Tigers at the end of last season.Blake Austin. I'm telling you he ****s all over anything foran has dished out in 2 years. Pretty sure he's of contract.
Agree 100%, if you good enough your old enough. No point holding back players that are clearly 1st graders.
Brad Fittler, Israil Folau, Andrew Johns just a few players that have debut in there teens...
Brett Stewart....[/
beaverBrett Stewart....
With Joey and Tooves I think he could get a lot better. In saying that, wouldn't want to be paying to much for himLets give the kid a new home. He wasn't completely out of place in the top grade when he has had a chance. A game here and there is never easy, just ask Ben Hunt. We can do way way worse then give this kid a go. That dosen't mean he has to be our first choice half. But **** we would be mad not to have him in our squad.
Pity, he has been on fire latelyHe signed a 3 year deal with the Raiders stating this year, after leaving the Tigers at the end of last season.
Can anyone who knows about our ressies shed any light on how Rudolph is going this year?. Was NYC leading pointsscorer for the Tigers 2012 NYC Premiership side ( but didn't make the NYC Team of the Year! ) and had good wraps when he came to us but then again so did Chee-Kam.
How does he compare with Cornish apart from being the same age.
