Mills & Dunkley train with us

[jono2707]

From what I saw of the national championships this year, I was very excited we were landing Heeney in this draft, but even happier about Mills for next year. He was an absolute star in the making.

If we need to forego some later draft picks, or some other fair 'penalty' to land Mills and Dunkley, we'll still be well ahead after next years draft with those two added to Heeney this year.

Though, I always thought Ted would make an excellent son in law...

Meanwhile the rest of the Academy boys from 15-17 (next year's 16s-18s) had the last session of their six week benchmarking program today. There is some serious talent coming through folks.

Auntie G, I'm glad you typed athletically & not aesthetically

I mean both. These kids in the 16s, for example, have been in the Academy for 4 years now. They have had 4 years of learning skills at the top level, but also the way the club wants them to play. Leaving individual players aside, the groups are getting deeper in terms of talent IMO, and that's what this whole process was about.

I don't think there are any potentials in the next couple of years that will be worth our 1-2 round picks (unless there is a very late developer that springs up). That's why it is so important that we get Mills and Dunkley. Apparently there are some potential guns in the under 15 bracket however.

It's the 15s I was referring to (ie - next year's 16s).
