It's his temperament that has impressed me as much as anything. He seems totally unfazed starting in what was a big game, a very cool head on young shoulders.

LANGLEY
ORFORD
WAGGA for his after game performance.

Ive said it before and stand by it, he's the best backrow prospect at the club.

He's slowly convincing me, I think all 3 of Donno, Elliott and Olbi have bright futures. At the end of last season it was in the Order above, but I think Whitehead has risen, he's totally capable of playing at SL level already and he can only improve.

Er...Donno's our next loose forward though?

Suddenly his nickname seems extremely appropriate...?

I missed the Wagga dance. I feel left out

I thought we were just talking back row in general?

Maybe one day we'll be seeing an all academy produced pack turn out?

Lilycrop
Horton
T Burgess
Whitehead
Langley
Donaldson

O'Brien
G Burgess
Olbison
Kopzcak


Wishful thinking I know


From what i've seen at academy level though, George Burgess has the potential to be the best English impact prop, as we generally tend to produce more hard-working ones than huge tackle-busting props.

Anyway, we have a good future with the amount of talent coming through in the pack is what i'm saying.

There's no doubt in my mind that Whitehead, Donaldson, Olbison & G Burgess will make it, some of the others will too, but I hope we can start producing more wuality backs, and the ones pushing through to develop into quality SL players (Hyde, Crookes, Wardle, Addy(playing SR atm though?))

Yet again Matt Orford takes number 1 spot after a fantastic game. Jamie Langley was just one vote behind and takes second spot. Wagga takes third by some margin.

Matt Orford - 3pts
Jamie LAngley - 2pts
Wayne Godwin - 1pt

This means that Ox has stretched his lead over Jamie Langley to two points. Both Langley and Orford are run away leaders after 5 rounds of super league.

1. Matt Orford - 10pts
2. Jamie Langley - 8pts
3. Nick Scrutton - 3pts
4= Rikki Sheriffe - 2pts
4= Eliott Whitehead - 2pts
4= Steve Menzies - 2pts
7= Dave Halley - 1pt
7= Brett Kearney - 1pt
7= Wayne Godwin - 1pt

What is this for anyway? Are having a RAB award at presentation night?

Albert Goldthorpe medal a poss for those two.

How many points do they have in AG medal race? Who's leading?

Matt Orford & Amos Roberts leading on 8 points.

Kearney has 5 points.

There was some talk of having an award to present at the end of the season. I'd be up for chipping in for one although not sure what everyone else thinks?

surprised theres not much fr kearney thought he had another decent game. IMO kearney is gunna be great for us this year, all the talk about orford and no question he is class but kearney coming in under the radar a bit and i love what i see so far.
