Unlike everyone else I'm not yet sold on him.

Yes, he's a top bloke and gives 100%. Outside of that he's not fast, not a great finisher, average in defence.

Yeah he's young so time to improve, just don't see him as a long term lock in at this stage.
I wonder if centre might be his spot in the future. Physically he reminds me of a young Blake Ferguson. If he can whack on that sort of size, I’d love his energy one more spot infield

Long way from elite, I do think he is a good finisher though. in a game full of bumbling and mistackles his mistake was the final nail in the coffin yesterday, “I’m sure rapana would have let him know”. Someone needs to tell him when returning the ball he isn’t a crash bang sort of winger look for the space hit the deck on knees and elbows ready for a quick play the ball, got owned in that play like he was in a tumble dryer where he thought his best option was the over the head offload.
Not giving up on him, rekon Fitz will polish him into a gem

Reckon I've voiced a few concerns. I think he could be an elite winger if he learnt how to harness that passion. He has great attributes but is still pretty immature and it results in some poor decisions

Maybe but I don't see the same agility in him as a young Fergo.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't see him ever being elite.

Ronaldo brailey and Kennedy all need to go on a muscle/weight plan in the pre season.. 2 years in first grade and they still look the same as they did when they came from Toyota cup

Funny i thought at the time, why is Kennedy passing from that kick regather. We needed points at the time, shouldve run it himself.

Blocker said Kennedy put 9kg on over the off season and the other two are far bigger. Kennedy and Ronnie will continue to grow, just not sure about Brailey

Really ? That’s fair, Kennedy kind of looks like he’s put on abit of size but all 3 of them need to be a little bigger, looks like they still need to fill out their bodies a fair bit, Ronaldo is tall but still thin and Brailey is tiny.

Will continue to affect their performance negatively if they don’t

Brailey is definitely on a plan for it. There was an article in preseason about him getting up at 3am to eat meals to put on size.

Ronnie plays on the absolute edge, it was to be expected that sometimes he would get it wrong. I'm not sure who you'd sign that would be better value week to week though.

I think with more experience he will get it right and can still be an asset.

yeah he's mentioned a few times the trainers get him to drink chocolate milk shakes and donuts to put on weight but he can't keep it on.

That’s not Toyota cup and I agree out of all of them Kennedy seems to be bulked up the most.

Ronaldo is thin but you can tell that he’s got a big frame to fill. he gets ragdolled in our red zone.

Also, look at Cleary then compared to now and see how much he’s benefitted from putting on some size
