Best 19 in 2027

Yeah i dont want to jump the gun on him too much, but geez i think hes going to have a very very good career, playing plenty of rep footy. And im so bloody glad all he ever wanted to do was play for the Knights. Hopefully we never have to get in a bidding war for him.
This kid is something special.
I think he will improve heeps just this coming offseason.
Won't be long before the number 10 is undisputedly his.
If we can somehow manage to upgrade him every couple of years before he goes to market, that will avoid the bidding wars.

I actually like the idea of starting with Jsaf and Hopgood/crouch then having mooney and McKewan come on 25 minutes in when there’s some tired legs etc.

Surprised how high hunt is on the list, but the defence is saw in winters 1 game was immense. If he can keep that high standard and setup young. Well try getting through winter and brown.

Winter is tackling at 85.5% in reserve grade, so making 12/12 in one game of firstgrade is a bit of an outlier. 85.5% is still good for an 18 year old playing seniors for the first time.
Hunt is a guy who stands out because of his appearance - I think we all see his rookie mistakes because he's so hard to miss and they stick in our minds. For a guy who plays a different position every week, his stats all look good.
If he gets that right centre position and plays there all season, I think he'll have a great year.
You could say the same for Winter.
It's a good problem to have.

Defence will be a huge part of who gets the nod playing next to Young, but who has the better catch and pass? A big part of their role will be executing that as crisply as possible. A big part of our identity in attack is executing that to utilize Dom's speed for yardage and scoring opportunities. Gags and Best among the best in the comp at this.
