People are really freaking out about Brailey. He’s gone through injury hell and his 15 games back. Not really fair to say AOB can’t coach based off what Brailey offers.

Connor Votano, Cody Hopwood, Kyle McCarthy and Tom Cant have all had profiles added to the firstgrade list.
Hopwood is top 30 I believe. The others would all have development contracts.
Cant has had one all year but McCarthy and Votano are new to the list.
No profile for Jermaine McKewn who Toohey reported was getting a development contract along with Votano, but McKewn is currently injured, so maybe they are waiting to see how that plays out.
Votano - 190cm, 90kg, 18 years old (can play Ball next year) - born Gosford
McCarthy - 193 cm, 93kg, 20 years old (can play Flegg next year) - lists his birth place as Hong Kong
Hopwood - 196 cm, 105kg, 18 years old (can play Ball next year) - born Gosford
Cant - 181 cm, 96 kg - 22 years old - born Maitland
Fletcher Sharpe - 186 cm, 86 kg, 20 years old (can play Flegg next year) - born Maitland
Riley Jones - 190cm, 92kg, 22 years old - born Gosford
Jermaine McKewn - 185cm, 106 kg, 19 years old (can play Flegg next year) - born Sydney

Answers my question about McCarthy the other day, 93KG is good starting point, couple more kilos in off season and lots of defensive training and he'll be a strong back up option for us.
Hopwood 105kg and Votano 90kg & McKewen 106kg. Man, those boys have real potential at just 18/19 yrs of age to be very damaging in a couple years.
R.Jones needs to be given some time off the bench sometime this season, surely.

His bigger lookalike, Bailey Carmichael, got his first run in Flegg on the weekend and scored a try. Pity he doesn't have the big motor Hopwood has - but they are hard to tell apart for 20 minutes or so.
