POTENTIAL OF U20'S FOR 2018

[Smokin Joe]

There are probably people who have seen more of these guys than me(please let me know what your opinions are @Hgbcds ),but I like what I am seeing from our Holden cup side this year.Yes many of them played SG Ball for us at the beginning of last year and also for other clubs and will take another year to peak, and yes there are only 15 listed at the moment along with Wright,Bainbridge and Parker.But consider Sione/John jr Hopoate,Jaiden Tarrant,Blake Andrews as well and the future for this side is looking pretty good.I don't know what is going to happen with the restructure of the 20's comp next year but there are some good young talents coming through....Also on a side issue,Geez there are some big units coming through.....Tufui at 120kgs,Wulf and Davis at 112kgs and Francis (whether he is a bully or a potential player) is listed at 5 ft 9 and 114kgs which makes OJ look like a lightweight.Good luck to the new recruits mentioned too,John Neil a livewire hooker from Rabbitohs ball squad,Kurtis Preece another from the Rabbitohs Ball squad and a 7 from the NSW blues pathways squad and Alfred Smalley a shortish but powerful 96kg centre from the warriors.

Whilst we have a rookie coaching and a 10 year straight loser of NSW Blues as a Football Director, I don't hold much hope for the lower grade players to make our FG side.
Anyone who is any good doesn't get a jersey and the No Names from somewhere else only get a season before they're shown the door.
Us armchair critics could have saved them 12 months.
