Field has a touch footy back ground. Comes from the strong Shellharbour club the same place as Matty Cooper and Bull Bailey.
He has a good kicking and passing game, super quick on his feet and between the ears and is more than a handy goal kicker but imo will end up the same way as Crook never to see first grade at the Dragons.
Payne is alot like Shannon Crook but a little tougher again don't seem him going past the under 20's at this stage.
Kemp is very under rated always has been and unkucky not to have been a regular in the side but with Dufty, I Thompson, Garrick, Herbert, Johns and Lomax in the mix he may find himself way down the pecking order.
Robson is the one guy who can be anything. Has progressed well in such a hard positon and boy have they missed him when he hasn't played.
Other guys who I think can progress
Herbert this guy has class written all over him
Leatigaga hes one tough dude and is exactly what the Dragons need for the future.
Taufua his transition from centre to backrow has been amazing and again he's one tough sob.
Lawrie is the next guy inline for the front row he is developing nicely.
Jurd has a few errors in his game like Ryles did as a youngster but he certainly has a future.
Outside of those guys the list at the moment looks good,
Matheson Johns
Zac Lomax
Hayden Lomax
Trent Peoples
Tristan Sailor
Steven Marsters
Jackson Willis
Max Bailey
Josh Tua
Luke skidmore
Jason Gillard
Wilson Farrar
Jack Cross.
