Too many juniors/rookies?

[KogarahWarrior]

Okay, so I know we've got players with positions in need of filling, and we've got lots of highly regarded juniors. But we have SO MANY. How are we going to choose? What will we do with the others who just can't make the cut, slightly? We can't make them replacements forever. They'll leave.

Fullback- Field, Dufty, Marsters.
Wing- Matheson Johns, Dylan Morris.
Centre- Patrick Herbert, Zac Lomax
Five eighth- Tristan Sailor
Halfback- Jack Payne
Prop: Blake Lawrie
Seocnd row: Kerr
Lock: idklol

SEE HOW MANY WE HAVE? how we gonna fit all deez people inside our team? Thoughts on this thread?

What about Garrick , Willis, Thompson...

 

[coast_dragons]

Payne isn't signed to the club and won't be used Willis is the 7 for the future.
Johns is a big boy i see a move to either centre or second row for him.
Field imo should never be considered a fullback.
Garrick is the next inline to get a wing spot.
Thompson isn't signed beyond this year and he may not get a new deal either.
Lovodua has moved to lock this year and he lloks like staying their.
Shepard is certainly a good prospect for the future at prop along with Dowel.

Sorry, forgot Luc as well.

I watched that game. Lomax was the standout player.

KW, you know that this is a good thing ? It's great to have potential in most positions but out of those 15 or so players if more than 3 or 4 eventually play & succeed in the NRL , it would be a great result for the club. A lot happens in the 3 to 4 years from 18 years of age in transition from boy to a man. Physically & physiologically.

Wouldn't have a clue & that's why we have a Director of Pathways that directs players out the door.

Well that is a well thought out statement.

You do know that we went on a spree earlier this season to secure most of these juniors plus about 7 of the NRL players ?

Yep. Plenty of junior depth and the reality is that some won't make it to FG with us or elsewhere and some will simply move on. This isn't directed at the OP but take a look at the names listed above, our current team & players we are linked to. Now try to imagine you have slimy player agents nipping at your heals and passionate fans baying for your blood as much as they will cheer a victory. Think of that and ask yourself - who in their right mind would work in sports recruitment!!

Don't get to excighted just yet, remember 1 in 20 make the cut

1 and 20 thats not even close to being true.

Hey Coast I thought it was a trick question thread as Mary will ignore them all and minimise any risk.

 

[BennyV]

Only 5% of NYC players go on to play more than 50 NRL games. So it will be dependant on how well thy are brought through and who is actually able to cut it on the big show.

The advantage of having so many is that we can actually do the right thing and allow them to pay their dues and prep their bodies for a season or two in Reggies.

However, when you have a coach who selects journeymen and out-of-position oldies over juniors when looking to cover injuries, all the youngsters in the world wont help us.

I wasn't real smart at school but I thought 1in 20 was 5%

You were smarter than you think...although I must be missing some sort of relevance...

Payne isn't signed to the club and won't be used Willis is the 7 for the future.

Field imo should never be considered a fullback.
Garrick is the next inline to get a wing spot.
Thompson isn't signed beyond this year and he may not get a new deal either.
Lovodua has moved to lock this year and he lloks like staying their.
Shepard is certainly a good prospect for the future at prop along with Dowel.

Jeezuz. Field isn't a fullback IMO either. Considering Millward is recruiting within who is he alluding to?
