Lin Jong upgraded to the Senior List

[bornadog]

Bugger off please, Im not allowed to post a concern without you're approval now?

Welcome to my world

[SlimPickens]

Who's to say he is going to play this week anyway?

Austin and JJ were both elevated and didn't play in the first week available. Maybe they're (MC) dangling the carrot in front of Lin to see if he'll take it.

A different theme once in a while would be a pleasant change.

Welcome to my world

Oh look, here is B2. I don't know what this has got to do with you anyway.

Roberts has been pulling up sore after games... I hear he would have played alreday if he wasn't feeling the pinch.

He sounds like two year old racehorse!

What is he sore with Mantis?

[Mofra]

Seems anyone with potential is getting a run - I'm happy to see him get a shot.

Hooper/Mulligan/Panos/Moles et al - clearly a line has been ruled through them

I'll have a crack in and see how I go.

That makes me feel better knowing that. Roberts has definitely deserved a go otherwise.

[LostDoggy]

My two cents......
Roberts is a lock already, shown enough in his first year that he'll make it, there is no race to debut him this season.

I cant see us maintaining Panos next year, Cordy and Jones have been sanctioned as the FF,CHF for the next 10 years, hence the amount of games we have put into them. They will not hit their straps until the 100 game mark as per the big Tom Hawkins. Grant will play as our thrid tall, Panos unfortuneately does not fit into that equation so there is really no point giving him a game.

Congrats to Jong, hope he plays a blinder.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Good luck to Lin, hopefully he will get a game before the season ends.

This is what German said about him last week:

As much as he is raw, when I've seen him he definitely has some ability to work with

He is athletic courageous, good speed, agility and seems to have good awareness in traffic, sure like most of our guys he might make a few mistakes, but he's athletic and finds the footy

I can see why we rookied him and given our year we should give him a game to have a look and continue his development

[Greystache]

Happy for Jong if he gets a run, I think he's a kids with huge upside. I'd expect him to be on the rookie list again next year so this is a good chance to give him a taste

Roberts has been pulling up sore after games... I hear he would have played alreday if he wasn't feeling the pinch.

That makes sense, I would've thought Roberts was ahead of Talia.

A bit of info, Roberts has put on 9kgs since he was drafted.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Good luck to the kid!
My wife is Taiwanese, she'll be stoked if he gets a guernsey. New cult hero on the way!

We were playing 3 rucks and few runners when our season wasn't over, now that the balance doesn't matter, we need another player that cracks in?
What's the difference trying Panos, Hill or Roberts first?
Jong will just cost us more.
Yes we are developing but we obviously invested more in listed players, are we just going to give them the flick?
Also no farewell games or one last shot for the likes of Moles or Hooper?

Looks like it might happen too.

Good luck to Lin Jong and hope he has a good career with us. Met him at the East Meets West Family Day and got his autograph which I think made his day.

[Remi Moses]

Good choice with Libba and Cross out.
Panos must not be " cracking in"!
Unlike someone on here who's on it
