Might have missed a couple but my thoughts on WA players U16 performance at the carnival in no particular order:
Possibly due to reduced training and playing opportunities over the past 2 years (apart from WA who weren’t as impacted) I thought it was a particularly underwhelming carnival and I wasn’t impressed with the overall standard of games.
SA by far the best performing team at this stage, so worthy winners.
Most consistent performers across 3 games:
Roberts
Xavier Walsh
Jones
Cathcart
Petersen
Some individual solid game performers:
Champion
Creighton
Harvey
Martinson
Van der Struyf
Hansen
Allen
Ravenhill
Players with plenty of upside but would be overall disappointed with their impact at the carnival:
Koopa Walsh
Ravenhill
Douglas
Ones I look forward to watching and believe have biggest scope for future development :
Koopa Walsh
Ravenhill
Roberts
Creighton
Champion
Hansen
Douglas
Cathcart
Petersen
Allen
Jones
Xavier Walsh (2005)
I believe there will be some better talent to come out of this WA age group that weren’t picked in this initial 16’s squad. Looking forward to seeing them get some development opportunities in the near future.
