Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2996444, member: 8988"] Goals are great but making the run-on team should be his first priority. That will require a more consistent effort in defence and a lot more game time played. After that, the sky's the limit but work on what he needs to do to get that, then move onto origin games. For my money, every young player on the verge of 1st-grade selection sees rep football as part of their future whether they say it or not, and that's all to the good. The problem is when people buy into it and put unrealistic expectations on that same player because then it goes from the "next big thing" to a "yesterday's hero" situation. There's every chance he can make it but if he's playing in QLD cup halfway through the year with Sua and Gillet or glenn carving it up, that doesn't mean he's not worth investing in. It just means he'll have to wait a little longer. On the other hand, if he does make it to first grade, it will be a case of building the same kind of consistency to make it to rep football. I hope it takes a little longer than some people think because I've seen too many young players burn out after seeing the bright lights of early success. Some can handle it, some players can't. From all accounts he's got great potential and I'm excited to see him in broncos colours this year, with all the rewards that brings. I remember the likes of Carl Webb, The "coal train" and Julien O'neil being spoken about the same early. Hopefully the people that manage him do too. [/QUOTE]
