"Smokey" Elite player in the making:
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:40:53 PM »
Jake Batchelor.

I love this kid.

Decent over head, great long left shoe, can run and carry and can bury a tackle like the best of them.

IMO a huge smokey to be a future elite player for us. I reckon he's an absolute gem. 5-6 games in looks as settled as any.

What a kick he has got him.

Very early but since day one i think everyone agrees he has what it takes.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I loved the fact Conca and Batch were in our top 5 players at quarter time. They were standing up under pressure and showing poise and composure even with many of our stars well-held early on in the game. Early days still but the 2010 draft/trade period is looking like being a good return for us recruiting wise.

yes Dusty got a strong tag and so too Lids was quiet and all the boys stood up. It was very exciting to see these young boys stand up.

The club that keeps giving.
