Post: # 1474183Post fingers »

Not sure if it is out yet but Jack Billings got the rising star nomination.

25 Possessions at 100% - apparently never been done before.

Great stuff, that is 2 for the year now including Luke Dunstan in Rd 1. When was the last time we had 2 in the one year?

Great game from Jack. Well deserved.

Ball + Goddard + Montagna in 2003. Those guys turned out OK, though Sam Mitchell beat them all to the award that year.

Well done Jack, special mention must go to Luke Dunstan for having the week off so Jack could take centre stage. These two young men are going to take us back up to the top, exciting times ahead.

Congratulations Jack. :D
It was only a matter of time.
The most skilfull player I have seen in a Saints jumper.
I watched him kick 50m pinpoint on his right (non preferred) yesterday and was amazed.
The guy is just 18 yo.
We have a beauty !

Well deserved. 100% efficiency is just unheard of at the Saints.

Finally a young player who can hit targets

CJ never misses with a match in his hand.

Plenty of Rising Star nominees who didn't go on to be Saints stars! Or at least four of these guys were better elsewhere.

What a great performance against the Eagles, especially with limited support.

You can just tell by the way he moves and delivers, that he is all class and WILL get better. Well done Jack. :D :D

It hit the target :)

This guy is our second best forward in his first year. Second only to Roo.
