Sign him for 10yrs :p That said how do u possibly price kids.. it really should be a few years at a time.. Ollie also playe some centre recently pretty well, so kind of makes you think that even if fullback didnt work out, anywhere from 1-6 would be feasible.. but cant see a reason he wouldnt stay @ fullback.. has the full skillset.

Very talented kid but not quite the full skillset.
Has a long way to go on ball playing. A dozen rep games but only 1 try assist.

Will be good for him to be around the FGers for one day a week to start

Is that Heidke contract new? I feel like he needs to prove his value over Buchanan.. maybe the pre-season..

I assume some of those T&Ts might move into Supp/Dev positions for next year? Think we have 4 so far (CST/Buchanan/Reed/Weatherall), i.e. 2 spots free...

The surprising one for me is Hutchinson getting the nod over Liu in terms of that T&T.

Looking at these lists and the names within them. I would say if the word promising turns into the word actual over the next few years we are in a good position to become a very competitive club once again.

Is Jasais Ah Kee another big prospect Flanagan dont want? I dont know about you guys but we have a coach that does not have the first clue of what constitutes a good player. HOW the effing hell did he ever win a premiership!!!

Jett still under contract, so they may be waiting, so it's not a matter of Hutcho getting the nod over him.

I like that list, but no Lyric CT? Too green as he went back to group footy yr after Ball premiership win when a good crop of that team were promoted to Flegg. I hope the reason is that he is not rated as a future Dragon.

Am removing Buchanan and Weatherall from the Supp list. The latter is a log, Buchanan over rated for mine. Did not impress in U19 Origin.

Liu is 2 years older than Hutchinson, isn't he? In 2 years I think Hutchinson will be better. But it'd be nice to have them both.

Thanks for that.

I thought Treweek might have been in there somewhere.

He’s not of the level required unfortunately, when it gets to 20-21 YO it starts to get ruthless, no more praying on potential.

you have to show your ability or you get found out and moved on quickly

Heard Ollie Burton asked if he could move to one of the elite rugby league school programs in Sydney (shows the mentality of the kid)

goes to Illawarra sports high currently and their a shambolic rugby league program

Not true for Ollie quite the opposite actually.

ISHS has been average for a while but they are turning things around.
They have brought in Bumper Andrews and Jamie Szczerbanik and have recruited a lot of good local talent.
