"Big yes for me. It has been doing the rounds on the Kennel, social media and Hooper is talking about it. While all these things don't mean anything. The fact its being reported in all different parts of social media hopefully means there are some…"
"Don't agree withgoing after Burton. Apart from his kicking game and ability to convert, he offers nothing else in attack.
He'd be the usual average. Why have the dogs gone cool on him?
Draw from inside, or wait and be generous for the more talented.…"

"OK I'll bite. Just for one moment imagine if the two rumours that have emerged over the past week come true. Spenser and Burton would make us a real threat in 2027 and if we could jag Herbie in the centres....well! My juices will flow once…"

@Bup everyone's in love with Lucas now aye I remember you telling me about him 3 years ago 😂 he had something back then.
That's the problem Coryn they could have got him for bugger all back then.
Half these talent scouts you wouldn't feed , it's easy to spot a Payne Haas coming through but it's the players with adaptable skills , strong work ethic, that are coachable , who have room to grow physically that are the diamonds in the rough .
Players that have worked hard at evolving their game who suddenly have a bit of a growth spurt, pack on muscle or gain a yard of pace suddenly become more dangerous with a football , have a better tackling technique blow then straight past their peers.
Theyve had to work hard on their footwork and ball skills coming through the grades to keep up and suddenly find themselves on an even keel or better physically show massive improvement and the Eels just can't identify them.
We look only for the Payne Haas and it costs us the Dylan Lucas who I beleive will make 18th or 19th man for the blues this year at the least.
Thank you I'm a look and project a guy when I see talent and your dead right Haas was a highlight player that's like you say easy to spot.
Agree I don't think from the players I've seen come through Parra's juniors the last decade have been much chop at all and the ones that do make it have massive holes in there game and get found out quick.
I mean if you have a look at the 2 Riff juniors that are here now there ready and while they have some growing to do there weaknesses aren't as glaring.
