 theres a good chance that we wont be playing any of them this season  certainly not in our best 26  maybe if a few spots become vacant through injury or god forbid we are languishing on the bottom rungs of the ladder towards the end of the season and the coach decides its an opportunity to give them all another taste
they will however all go well with coburg in 06

What about Humm?

What about Humm?

hes a rookie and needs a place to open up for him on the list through long term injury.

If that does happen, im sure he will aquitt himself very well.

I think it will be between JON and Cleve

I think once JON breaks into the seniors he'll probably be more consistent than Cleve.

I reckon Cleve will be gun but I reckon some weeks he'll be sensational while other weeks he'll struggle because the opposition will get sucked into putting a top qulaity defender on him after he has kicked a bag

JON - too young, too skinny (OP?)
Hughes - KPP, will take time
Cass - too young, too skinny (OP?)

I'd go for White.

Liked the look of him.

JON is backing at training (and played for Coburg last week I think).

I went for White also like CB. Physically ready to go so he may end up playing the most senior games of the four although along the lines of 632RFC I wouldn't expect any of them to play more than a half a dozen games this year.

Hughes will eventually be a talented KPP for us but he needs to bulk up first so IMO he'll play mostly for Coburg. Similarly JON needs to add on the kgs. Casserly has OP so Humm could still be a show if Travis is put on the long-term injury list.
