Luke Pickerd

[Dan-ce]

I Like Mills & would prefer leutele to partner him as our centres next season, but Pickerd I think could be pushing for a wing spot during next season.

 

[josh11223344]

Yeah I think it might be 2 seasons until he is physically ready for a centre spot but he could be pushing for a wing or fullback spot next season. He reminds me so much of kevin locke.

 

[deano the p]

I really really rate him. I think he is a much better prospect than Mills.

Again he will be brought into first grade through wing/fullback i reckon due to his lack of size. By the end of his career I see him having played a role like ET's where he was a great option on the wing, at fullback and in the centres. Hopefully he can go anywhere near the great mans achievements but I'm not going to put that on him.

Great footwork, good under the highball, fast and elusive

Needs to be in firsts

 

[Sharky14]

My favorite nyc player, will be a star.

 

[shark 101]

if he plays firsts where does he play? can Gardner play a different position?

 

[Born&bred]

Yeah - fullback is his best position.

 

[snowman]

Good footwork, safe under high ball

Could play anywhere 1-5

 

[Beejay]

Might leave us if we cannot offer him a fullback spot though im fearing

 

[snowman]

He was a center last yr, started the yr at center as well

Him and callum swapped for some reason

I reckon he is in the centers next year with nesi at fullback

 

[Beejay]

I haven't seen much of him im just going by B&B's suggestion that fullback is his best position

 

[snowman]

Yeh i was elaborati.g, he is brilliant, where ever he plays

Could be a firstgrade winger centre or f/b

Reminds me of gerard beale...

Certainly does

 

[squeak]

think he still has another year of 20s doesnt he?

 

[snowman]

has a couple of years of 20s... he was in sg ball last year

 

[josh11223344]

next year is his last year of 20's.

 

[Tiger Shark]

So do we think we'll see him get a crack at firsts this year?

Also I find it interesting that he was named at fullback again in the NYC trials, I would think or maybe I was hoping he would go to the centres this year so he can go back to fine tuning his craft for at the least when Best leaves next year ?

In saying that he was very good at fullback last year for us.

I think he will play a game or 2. Not too many unless Gards picks up a serious injury early in the season.

 

[josh11223344]

He will get a crack if he plays as good as last year and tbh with our big 4 chad, mills, friz and peachey out of the 20's he should become one of the top players in the comp.

 

[sharksfan4321]

does anyone know of pickerd will still be with us next year?? thanks
