Kade Snowden and Cory Paterson both look like bursting into firstgrade next season. Both are giant 19 year old forwards, although Kade is an 86 model and Cory an 87 model. They are very different players though.
Kade is 7 months older (dec 86 to July 87).
Kade is 189cm tall - Cory is 194cm tall.
Kade is 109kg - Cory is 105kg.
Both have played 2 thirds of the season in Flegg and 1 third in PL - but Kade played the first part of the season in PL, and Cory the last part.
Kade was a second row forward in firstgrade last season, and is a prop in Flegg now. Cory was a prop in Ball last season, and is a second row forward in Flegg now.
Kade has scored 8 tries for the season - Cory has scored 16.
Kade is the frontrow enforcer who does all the hard work. Cory loves to run with the centres so much, they played him in the centres one game.
Both have had outstanding rep careers - but Kade's was a few seasons ago, and Cory has just capped his u19's and Aus schoolboys games by being named in the junior Kangaroos train on squad.
All the numbers seem to add up that Cory is now our best forward prospect - but that is not how i see it. Kade still rules IMO - If we win the Flegg title it will not be because Cory scares a few centres by running wide - it will be because Kade rules the middle of the ground.
