Is Highmore eligible for a Rising Star nomination or aren't mature age rookies eligible?

Re: The new young guns keeping the saints in the hunt
I see someone described him as a Dane Swan, but presume that was more of a reference to his high draft position than anything else. All I could tell you about him is that he has a bit of pace and seems to love a goal. What do you make of him so far?

Byrnes is tracking very nicely. Last two games has been very good in only a 11 game career. Has a bit of JSteven about him, breakaway pace and likes a goal. Great addition to a slow midfield. We may have finally drafted ourselves a couple of decent pure midfielders in Byrnes and Bytel.

Re: The new young guns keeping the saints in the hunt
Ronnie Byrnes is coming along nicely and has probably surpassed Jack Bytel in the team, he is smaller and a lighter build than Bytel and if he can work on his pace he'll be a very good rover or what is today referred to as a clearance player, driving the ball into the forward line.
Byrnes is one of many St Kilda players that have become team-oriented and executing his role to considerable effect around the ground. Leo Connolly is another young fella that's showing promise and vying for a regular spot in the midfield.

Re: The new young guns keeping the saints in the hunt
I reckon he looks a pretty good prospect
Dane swan was a big bodied aerobic animal who got knocked up getting the footy
Byrnes is much smaller, and is very pacy.

And hopefully better behaved than Mr Swan.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

I don’t care if they are serial killers if they help win a premiership for the fans!!!

I was referring to off field social and recreational activities. But yes, we need a Premiership badly.
