My guess is Rhys Stanley. he is being groomed as a forward apparently.

Kosi is not a ruckman and never will be.

I also think the article has been taken out of context, I don't think Kosi is going to be a ruckman. I think Ross was saying that they would like to be less predictable, at times.

nice little crowd there

a couple of notes

as everyone says, tommy is a big boy and has the body to play this game at th highest level. Seems to be really throwing himself into everything and gets expert coaching from not only the coaches but players such as BJ and joey. They seem to be putting ALOT of effort into the boy which shows thir confidence in him.

BJ and Roo don't know how to traing badly, they go at it like their lives are on the line. Jack steven has bulked up and armo looks like a AFL player now, lots the puppy fat.

Lenny dal and kingy all look very fit. For someone who was written off over summer king is setting himself up for a final shot at the flag. Big mac willhave to work hard to get a spot off gards and kingy.

Have to agree with the comments re: the height of the group. Lots of tall talent there, lots in the rookie area but still lots for them to work with.

Looking forward to heading down there again

my guess from distance is about 192 -193?? Just a good size and could play key back or key forward. Would not take a backwards step. Good hands.

Yeh the lad is tall, but like I said earlier not as tall as I expected or I think ppl were saying he was.

Just hope he can play the game. No point in having those guns and not being able to use them.

Ha by the looks of some of the women at training they didn't mind what the boys did with their guns!

never said he would be a ruckman... just that kosi might find himself pinch hitting in the ruck for short spells... lets face it RL loves versitile players who can be effective in a range of possitions not one trick ponys so i would imagine Kosi's training would be focused on him improving his weaknesses being his endurance

to have a player who can mark and crash packs like kosi its in our best interest to have the versatility to move him where we need him
