Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3661458, member: 9881"] I tell you what I just found time to watch the u19 maroons game for the first time. Coby Black will be the halfback in 2026. Mitch Woods had a blinder but I think Coby was just as good. You put Mitch Woods in QLD instead and they sure as shit don't come close to NSW. Very impressive kicking. Only thing I find with Black sometimes is there isn't much more to his game than kicking. He proved on the weekend for Souths that he has a running game and the ability to take the game on himself. I think he needs to improve a little bit on truely digging into the line and then dishing it because he has the speed, strength, running game, squaring off ability and ball playing to really round off his game very well in that element. I was a bit disappointed with some of his big game performances when I had watched him but he was very good with the boot in the origin game. Every kick he did was on point and very good. I think both him and Mitch are eligible for that game next year as well and oh my am I excited. Really impressive kicking game for an 18 year old. Not to mention his play style very similarly resembles Reyno, tick, and he suits a spine of Mozer, himself, Mam and Walsh perfectly. Coby Black, Mitch Woods and Jake Elliot (NSW 6) were all very good I thought which is a good sign for future halves stocks across the comp. Obviously a mid to long term injury next year in a really big development year would completely **** that plan up so it can't be completely reliant on him being ready for 26'. I want him to get ample opportunities in the trials and pre-season this coming off-season to really develop him along. He has to be starting every week at 7 for whatever club he finds himself at in Q-cup, HAS TO. Also gets another crack at the u19 origin arena next year I believe so getting Qld over the line will and should be his goal this year not just keeping them in it. [/QUOTE]
