.Numskulls like Gallen and co don't recognise we develop them through our Academy at a very young age.
King can enlighten us but young Sandon Smith is an example....give him time and nurturing.
Dooner and Cassius Tia(?) we keep our fingers crossed because they're showing potential.
Dare I say it but, young Fittler although a bigger could be a Schuster type five eight.
Definitely has the pedigree
Plus Haydan Ritchie (half) from SG Ball and Toby Rodwell (half) from Sydney Roosters Harold Matthews Cup
Smith /Dooner/Tia /Ritchie and Rodwell are also very good goal kickers - Lachlan Dooner has a big boot on him for general field kicks - regularly 50 plus metres plus a few 40-20's
Sandon came through the Central Coast System into the Sydney Roosters side of the pathways system - Junior rep player of the year in 2021- I thought he would start in Jersey Flegg in 2022 but Robbo had other ideas as he played in both the NRL pre-season trials and started round 1 in NSW Cup and played the whole year in NSW Cup in 2022
I saw an article a while back about Cronk being asked about upcoming halves in the game to look out for and Sandon was one of the halves he mentioned.
Zac Fittler has been playing Lock the last couple of Harold Matthews Cup games so maybe that is where his future lies?
