  • @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.

"Thanks Lurker, a great share mate. Really interesting.
I've got plenty to say about MON, but in the interest of club unity and the need to be positive from now on, i'll suck it up, and say nothing. "
