  Wow, you only have to look at the players that missed out to see how strong we are in that age group. Joey T, Doolan and Fonua were all in the NSW Under 16 side last year (admittedly all are 17 rather than 18).

  I believe Joey was also the captain of that NSW team. With Dargan keeping his spot all season proves that the selectors were wrong in keeping him out of that team last year. They really should stop with only picking max 3 players from each team.
  
  We definitely have a big prop rotation though, Amone is a big boy and so is King. Twal is probably the tallest of the lot but still needs to fill-out a fair bit.

    Ham, have you seen any of, or much of, Doolan this year?

  I've been unable to get to the games this year but from some highlights that the NSWRL put up he played alright. And the game that he starred in he set-up two awesome tries for Fonua. Seems he wasn't able to get a massive grip on SG Ball but when he is of proper age next year I expect him to step it up once again and kill it.

  With the depth that we have in the halves and hooking position over NYC and SG Ball: Halves= ZDC, Matterson, Vidal, Dargan, and Doolan and at hooker= Pritchard, Lussick, Seve, Tramontana. We won't be having any difficulties in getting spine players in a few years.

  Yeah Wayne Francis is now with the Balmain Tigers. I think it may have been from a disciplinary perspective we let him go.
