    Definitely. All our three quarters would need high ceilings, maybe a bit less so Rob T who is not as tall. He probably has a lower ceiling.

      I think about 6'5 standing and 6 lying down

        Yes I can only hope with Walker back that toia and Wong get loads of opportunities and better ball then 2025

          Neither of our centers saw much good attacking ball this season as most attacking ball went to the wingers. Angus and our other edge forwards saw more good ball than the centers but not as much as last year. Sandon didn't feed Angus or Billy very well on the LHS and Sam didn't either.

          Angus was probably better with Sam and Billy with Sandon. Toia hardly got any good ball all season. His defense was great but we didn't see much of his attack because we mainly kick to Tupou on the RHS. I think Billy is better than we saw at the end of the season. Changing from Sandon to Sam might be part of it but it might also be its the first time he has played a full season, he started to drop a lot of ball. I have high hopes both centers will be better in attack next year. Their defense was good

            He tapered off a little towards the end of the season. Understandable given it was his first full season in first grade.

            If he stays injury free he's locked in at left centre for a while to come.

              Came on and played very well, last 2x months of the seasons I saw a drop in performance, maybe because all the traffic went to the right side of the park.

              Hopefully he has a good pre and plays well next year. A blues jersey is possible in 2026 but he has to find another gear/level compared to his adversaries.

                Harry Grant, after the Chooks gave Melbourne that walloping, commented on Billy's talent and potential. That's good enough for me. From what I've seen, he's better value than Bobby atm imo.

                  Billy had a great year for a guy who has struggled with injuries. I don't think we've seen his best just yet, if he can go another season without incident we will see his best.

                    Played some brilliant games in 2025, but also had some not so good games.
                    Hopefully all his injury worries are behind him.
                    At 26 years of age the time is now, hopefully we see his best in 2026.
