Read all the earlier pros and cons.
Agree with most.
Yarran's shot for goal from 20 metres out almost directly in front would be a gimme for most U14 forwards.
It is all vey well to say he is only young and has years in front of him, but so are Zeibell, Hill, Rich, Nahas and all the others in the last draft who were picked before or after him and are slaying 'em.
If he is a genuine #6 pick, he needs to show a bit more concentration. I won't comment on his supposed laziness because I wouldn't know. The commentators actually thought his chase on Shaw was good. There you go.
He isn't as good as Houlihan yet so Houlihan should be playing in front of him.

Fisher and Wiggo would have only been a 50/50 chance to kick it.
Yarran kicked a goal and had a hand in another whilst the game was still "hot" so I'm not unhappy with his performance. I liked his chase on Shaw because he didn't give up......when his fitness levels increase he will improve in this area.

Wiggo of 2009 maybe. In the past he has been accurate.
Notwithstanding, neither of those two went at #6 IIR.
Hopefully Yarran will catch u with the temp of the game as he gets experience but at the moment, I don't think he is in our best 22, whereas I do think Wiggo is and Houla certainly is.

Pros

Juddy - Wow he can take a mark our new CHF.
Murph - UNDERATED. A chance for the bench on the AA Team.
Waite - End of this season should be regarded as an A grader.
Hampson - Showing what Cloke and Jacobs can't do.
Betts - Why do we need Yarran?
Kruz - Last 19yr old ruckman that is doing what he is!
Robbo - Our new Hickmott. Pace is a big concern though.
Scotland - COURAGE!!!!!!! Clip should be shown before every game.
Simmo - Still wonder why he cops so much crap.
Austin - Slowly showing he might make it.

Cons

Game was set up for a thrashing but at times we just went through the motions.
Need to find a long kicking Half back.

I spoke to someone yesterday who is close to Yarran, and they said Yarran was absolutely buggered by the time he took that kid.

When he builds up his stamina and general overall strength, he'll catch Heath and he'll kick those crucial goals. I'm sure he'll concentrate a bit more next time because he was a bit casual in his approach and I know he knows that. He was embarassed, and so he should be with his class.

I agree Wiggo was always an accurate kick prior to 2009.
