Hard to know if they were more deserving but hopefully the club will have talked them through it. Same for Gander and Rusty's nephew. All good kids I'll warrant.

Still puzzled how Kirk is eligible for Cat B when taken as father/son.
They were all U18 this year. I don’t know if it’s a deliberate strategy by the club, but the last three academy graduates we’ve put on the rookie list were all given an extra year to develop/make their case as U19s before winning that spot (Wicks, Edwards and now Kirk).
Even if it’s not deliberate, it should signal to them that they still have realistic opportunities if they stick with it.

Cat B is for NSW Zoned or International players. Kirk meets this requirement.

Green & Cleary will have to bide their time in the 2’s, but anyone else think Snell can get some games at some stage next year? Hope he has a huge offseason and heaps the pressure on to Hamling, Melican & Francis.
PS. If Grundy got injured/rested, I’d still prefer Ladhams to our draftee who will be too “green” to play seniors next year (pardon the pun

Has the body that’s the first thing however gut says he’s a store for a year only for emergencies that we hope don’t occur

Agree, no different to Edwards. Hamling is a nice chop-out until they're ready.
Snell does seem to be a bit more comfortable in his body size/shape than Edwards. Both decent prospects. I like the pick

I would copyright immediately. You will be a rich man by the time he plays.

He has been going through a bit. It’s a great rookie pick by North

It’s great to see that such a strongly non-AFL state is generating so many elite recruits. The challenge Gold Coast has particularly faced is turning that into on field performance and then retaining those top level players.

It's true. I wonder why Qld teams are having more success at keeping their talent away from NRL. They seem to have churned out numbers as good as NSW (I haven't crunched the numbers) with a fraction of the population.
a lot of Southern State families moved up there.
