I'm guessing you are referring to Moir as being still young. He is, but he's only shown glimpses.
Matty Carroll looked great in the 2024-5 preseason to win his spot back as a rookie. There was nothing wrong with him at HB. People remember him getting caught HTB on the last line in one game. I blamed his team mates. But his delivery from HB by foot hit targets 50m away with the ball barely getting higher than 3 foot off the ground. He was always good. His groins stuffed him up in his first year. Let go for being injured all year. Great player for the mighty Zebras in the U18's winning GF.
Was by accident he was discovered as a wingman during the 2025-6 preseason. He built up his running to the point he made the top 6. We had ample HB's till they fell like flies, and he played wing in the intra club game and he kicked 3 long goals. Got injured before the games vs Bris and Geel and missed ground zero vs Sydney. Then he arrived in Rnd 1 vs Tigers, and the rest is history.
I liked Durdin. He was another injury prone player we let go, but he has stood up week in week out at Port. Go figure. Byrne almost as good as Durdin. Hopefully he will be better.
