KK was impressive yesterday i thought, for the first time this year he outshone Mortimer

 

[hineyrulz]

But is he ready for first grade?????

But is he ready for first grade?????

I don't think he is, i am just happy for the kid that he finally did better than his halves partner, for his sake, not because i have anything against Mortimer who i think is a handy little player and does very well......

Ok mate, the couple of games i've seen him play he just tried to hard IMO. Hopefully he continues to improve because we need an injection from somewhere.

If Ben Smith's not ready next week, I'd love to see Tony Williams get a crack at centre

KK has been playing frustrated because last year he played with men and then all of a sudden he is playing with boys again. Oh please he will do a better job than Tim Smith thats for sure. If we give him the chance soon then at the end of 2009 he will be ready to play against the eels. At least he would make sure his old cabra team mate would see some ball, please give it to Jarryd.

Yeh, I saw him last night as well and was thinking the same thing. His inside flick that set up Keatings first try, after a barnstorming run was all class, but what worries me is his defence.
He looked quite incapable at times.

Maybe thats what the first grade side needs..
