Great story.
Royce has the potential and I hope he has a ripper next season.

Interesting he wasn't just the biggest kid in the team either.![]()

He is 13 in that photo. That’s a school u15 team in the year he turned 14, but the photo will have been taken 2-3 months before his 14th birthday. The other kids in his team could be up to 20 months older than he is.Interesting he wasn't just the biggest kid in the team either.
Well at least a couple have also played senior rep footy for WA, and one from the younger pic tooIn fact at that 15s National Carnival, it is announced over the Pa when making awards, that most likely that is the highest level that the majority of the 13/14 yo players there are likely to achieve ( but said in a congratulatory/positive way) in their careers. Reinforces Burgess' comments, and that the real push is from 17 yo approx.

Maybe what the PA announcer means is that being towelled up by the NSW u14's is the pinnacle of any WA player's career...Well at least a couple have also played senior rep footy for WA, and one from the younger pic too
Maybe CAS but I'm not sure about that one
Haha both those guys are definitely better than me!Maybe what the PA announcer means is that being towelled up by the NSW u14's is the pinnacle of any WA player's career...
Except @bort, Josh Rogers, Cory Paterson and the guys in those photos of course![]()
Yeah - I’d consider playing Cup a bigger achievement that making a National u15’s carnival.Haha both those guys are definitely better than me!
Has been quite a few WA players to play NRL over the years, although many obviously had East Coast family origins. And I can see the list didn't try and make a claim for Kayln Ponga who left WA before he'd ever played League, but was born here.
And plenty of WA guys have played Qld/NSW Cup but not managed to make the next step.
Luckily snowman hasn’t had to be too excited to come in here too oftenIf you guys think Woods is a lazy, **** ruck defender - I cant wait to read this thread after a game
Love the graph on starting verse bench. Hunt just does Hunt
Had scans Monday I think so probably just waiting now for the results.What was the outcome of his elbow injury?
An NRL club would get results later that day I assumeHad scans Monday I think so probably just waiting now for the results.
Also a matter of if and when they can be bothered to tell the public.An NRL club would get results later that day I assume
It’s simply a matter of when someone gets around to looking at it. Or, for a bit of a delay, if they need to send them to a specialist for some additional info.
I’ve had scans first thing in morning and been told to come back after 2pm but had a phone call 45 minutes later telling me to go to hospital.
That's an entirely different matter isn't itAlso a matter of if and when they can be bothered to tell the public.
It's definitely somewhere we can improve. A 2 minute update a week from the head physio/strength and conditioner should be standard practice for all teams.That's an entirely different matter isn't it
We have seen current staff are not fussed about keeps fans informed.
Unless it was something significant I expect won't see anything until maybe a footnote in the team list a week from now if he isn't named
Especially since Pilot sponsor us and it seems to be part of the arrangementIt's definitely somewhere we can improve. A 2 minute update a week from the head physio/strength and conditioner should be standard practice for all teams.
Newcastle did a great job of it last year. Few minutes, overview of how each injured player was tracking and a target for return.Especially since Pilot sponsor us and it seems to be part of the arrangement
