He's so good that not one of the other 17 teams even wanted to use a pick in the 60s on him. I think a lot of people need to re-adjust their hopes for him.

Clubs tend to only bid on the early ones with F/S. Otherwise it potentially locks you into a position (draft wise) when you still need flexibility both in trade week and on draft day.

Agreed - but there were bid picks into the 50s and 70s with this group

Though they may be structural picks like rucks/kpf etc

When is the state testing? Will be funny if he kills it.
Unfortunately he likely wont do the testing now

Sinclair can still be traded as a rookie as long as that team puts him on the senior list for next year. I would be happy to trade him if it meant we got 2 2nd round picks.
Would you be happy to trade him for a 3rd round pick upgrade like Sinclair + #48 to someone for pick #25-35. Seems fair to me.

Very happy that nobody else bid on him, gives us more flexibility in regards to the draft picks we'll have available and if he turns out to be a dud we won't have used a good pick on him.

In the highlights for Waterman - two things excite me

First - the kick in the 3rd highlight - bringing it back across his body to advantage of the leading forward - quality kick and excellent game awareness.

Then a little later on was a clearance with decent burst acceleration.

Obviously they are singular highlights but his kicks do seem low and penetrating... must get it from his mum!! :)

Jake already looking taller than his brother. Does his even younger brother play? ( Not sure of his name) A chance for 3 Watermans in the one team if the other 2 make it.
187.5cm and probably still growing.

I believe Ben Waterman is a keen swimmer.
