I watched about 45 minutes of the match, and was pleased with certain aspects. Firstly, these guys tackle better than our Holden Cup of recent years. They seem committed in defence, which is unusual for Under 20s. The front rower, No. 8, is a real powerhouse. About as wide as he is tall. Tom Turbo is all class, as we've noted for the past two seasons, and likes to get involved. He was going to score a runaway try but was called back for an alleged forward pass. I then saw him taking a seat on the hill to watch the first grade. He is tall and looks like he's filling out. I have mixed feelings. It's great he's starring in the Under 20s and perhaps they have a shot at winning the title this year, and I'd hate to see him smashed if promoted to first grade too early.
A very tough decision.
