According to Zero tackle, we have 5 players in the 21 development player list. We could easily see Sullivan raised to the main squad, and Lomax and Sauin-esau maybe? (last year for those 2). I did hear that they may go down to 4 on this list as a rule?


AMONE, Junior
LOMAX, Hayden
SAUNI-ESAU, Shaun
SLOAN, Tyrell
SULLIVAN, Jayden

ZT are not always (actually seldom) up to date with their squad listings.

Jayden Sullivan has been upgraded to the top 30.

Possm, you keep pushing for Dufty at 6 but I don't think that's ever going to happen...

Yes I know. I mainly do that because I can't see him keeping the fullback job and would love to see him make a success in the halves - even if it ends up being at another club.

But a Dufty/Sullivan halves combo would be a very dynamic attacking weapon and a Dufty for Norman would not only save the club heaps, it would be a much better solution.

Having said that, Dufty in reserve grade will get p'd off and want a release.

Geez, when you look at above plus 3 or 4 more development players on our books it must have been a contributing factor in Hook ( who's philosophy is junior player development related ) jumping at the chance to come to us.

And you guys thought Lomax was slow, ol' Schillsy boy would be probably similar pace. More robust though. Might be a good 'un.

I've heard good things... but maybe its overhype Gitano? Or are you just niggling those who commented on Lomax’s speed (he seems quick to me, even if not electric off the Mark like Dufty and Ramsey)

I guess I’m asking if his speed is a liability? Or just not a big strength.

 

[denis preston]

Speed at centre has been replaced by big bodies with good offloads & defense .If this wasn't the case Roberts wouldn't be on the outer at Souths.

 

[possm]

I'm just glad that the likes of Schiller, Ramsey, the Feagai brothers, Lomax, Sullivan and Clune are all local juniors and will soon be in our top 28. Griffin will have a ball bringing these players up to first grade standard in 2021. I predict a top 4 spot in 2022.

So Schiller is a centre? Not fullback?

Schiller and Ramsey can play in any one of the back 5 positions.

His a fullback

 

[denis preston]

His a fullback

ATM i suppose, but he is only a kid and with that body perhaps will evolve into a centre or even second row.

 

[Jeremy Dragon]

So Schiller is a centre? Not fullback?

Played mostly centre thus year and some at FB
Last year played FB in league and centre in Union.
He could be developed into either position.

 

[Old tiger 79]

His a good fullback, his got the potential to be the best

 

[Dragonslayer]

Fullback is his position and he's very good at it.
I don't think he's quite effective as a centre, and definitely not a winger.

His a fullback dude, believe me

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

His a fullback dude, believe me

Seen a bit of him?

 

[SnowDragon]

His a fullback dude, believe me

haven't seen him really, so can you explain why? What’s his skill set?

 

[BLM01]

Because some very good CRL judges and Dragon scouts who have watched him play know his strengths have told me how they rate him as a fullback
He runs hard in attack and takes the line on...has handled defence well against much bigger men as a kid, has height for attacking bombs and general ability / passing game, hence why he played some centre this year and wing previously
I have been convinced so far so I hope that helps convince you
He will probably end up on the wing

I believe that Ramsey will be our next fullback but would not be surprised to see Schiller promoted to the first grade fullback position after killing it in at fullback in reserve grade. I might be wrong but I think Dufty was promoted directly into the first grade fullback position. So there is no reason why Schiller could not do the same.

I’m convinced enough to hope and be happy with any promotion they give him.
The rest can wait till I see his performances
