Juniors Discussion Thread

Thanks Joe
Great insights as always.

Very interesting in SG Ball, where you have Walsh, Large, Alexander and Melrose all vying for the halves, and then there's Tamoko Berryman-Duff.

I don't expect Walsh to actually play SG Ball, especially when he is revovering from the 'depleting' Glandular Fever, so he's more likely to feature in Jersey Flegg and then NSW Cup later in the year.

It the Sea Eagles have eys on Large playing in the halves, I see no point in terms of his development, in him playing in the centres or at fullback in Juniors. Mind you, Fulton and Lyon managed it pretty well, with playing both positions.

Sorry,I should have clarified about Large.I am not sure whether he is a 5/8 or centre(not the club),I am not convinced he is a 5/8 at the highest level.
The fact that they are selecting him at 5/8 suggests the club does.

An extremely talented young half whose body shape and development suggests he doesn't have a longterm future in the position? What could possibly go wrong?
