allison and rolls next year. connor ballenden key position forward touted potential number 1 2017

Where is he touted potential number 1??

 

[CarterS]

So great to see more and more Queenslanders with so many wraps on them! Can see a day in the not too distant future when most of our best 22 is Queenslanders. Cannot wait.

Think it was Brett Anderson who mentioned it on SEN.

Fair suck of the sauce bottle! I feel so much better now

 

[Eons]

Is there a link for the academy players? I was trying to find info about Jack Rolls this evening & found it tough let alone for a 2017 player.

Just names and this was last years. The info on Ballenden was from the Queensland rep. team.

Bastinac is managed by Pickering and he got him to the Lions, I wouldn't take what Pickers does personally.

He is a snake, but he is a clever snake for himself & his clients - doesn't have any ill feelings to clubs.

I wonder if Pickers is extra smug given Connors couldn't get McCarthy to GWS.

 

[Doctor Bombay]

And just quietly, the possibility of another tall Sunshine Coast lad in 2018. Too early yet to tell.

Available straight off the rack?

Pickering interview here:

listen to this on Audioboo

It's interesting that he hasn't slammed the Matthews/Lions stance at any time during the trade period (even before the trade was done) and has actually said he understands it.

Thought Pickers spoke well about us, said we did well for our situation.

A post earlier on the previous page of this thread.

I think Ballenden's pretty handy and a good size, but I've never heard anyone speak of him as being in the Allison class as a prospect before.

Let's see if he makes the Qld 18's as an under ager first before getting too carried away.

That's a fair note of caution - although Brett Anderson is usually pretty spot on. As I haven't seen him play, has he actually done anything to deserve the (minimal thus far) hype?

Jack Rolls is an outside/half-back type. Good user of the ball and while not particularly fast, he moves nicely. From my understanding looks to be a second round prospect next year while Allison is in the frame for round one.

A great caller on SEN this morning was teeing off about agents being more like auctioneers these days!

Yes it is

Pimps might have been more accurate.

Ballenden made the All Australian 15's last year, and I think he got the Best Player award in Div 2 of the National 16's this year, so he's been doing very well so far.

But, there's always a big jump after 16's, so next year (presumably in the Qld 18's) will be the first real litmus test for him.

Very handy fast bowler as well for Terrace.

Terrace boy ! May God have mercy on us all.

Interesting, in the Swann interview, he said the Lions had spoken to Josh Walker a couple of times during the year.
I don't see the difference between that and the Blues talking to Aish. Seems all clubs contact opposition players throughout the season, and are ok with it.

 

[Ray Button]

Thought Pickers spoke well about us, said we did well for our situation.

Don't forget that he retains a leg in our camp - he is Bastinac's manager unfortunately.

He's smart enough not to stir the pot unduly.

Has anyone here heard the news story about two lions players a beer bottle and the rape of some guy??
