If it wasn't for the passing, I think his OD and ID would have been enough, but the need to get that passing out takes out many weeks that would be needed to get the OD/ID up. Still, he can be a very good player for his team, but it means he's pushing uphill to get into the U21 NT.

Our final game of the U21 repacharge in on tonight. After our loss to France, we need a big win, and for a bit of luck in the Chile v France game.

Its a long shot, but after the draw we got, I think we are due for a bit of luck!

Well, we beat Tounes, however by nowhere near as much as we needed to make the world cup, sadly.

Now that we are out of the world cup race, its all about preparation for next season. With that, I have removed some of the 21 yos from the team. I would like to thank their managers for training them up, and the contribution they made towards almost getting us into the world cup.

I've added some of the better 20yos into the squad. Hopefully they can gain some experience, and I can better keep an eye on how they are being trained.

Just wondering whether he is on track to making the U21 national team or is he ahead or behind? If he is behind, what skills should he have to be on track?
Thanks

Just drafted him this year and will be looking to develop his JS and JR, along with his ID, Rebs and SB.

If he was 18, sure. Being a full season behind in training really hurts your chances though.

Still, train him up and see how he goes. You never know, might make the team as a 21 year old if you're lucky.

Given Australia's got an ordinary group of 19 year old big men coming up, I reckon he's got a big chance of making it into the squad when he's 21. Try and get him to at least triple sensational for his big men skills at the end of 20 years.

Cheers, I know that he has high sublevels in IS, ID, Handling, Driving and Jumpshot, so I'm expecting a double or even triple pop in the coming weeks which should speed things up a little :D

If you are doing 1 pos training, the triple Sensational in IS,ID, Reb is definitely achievable and you still have additional time left to develop his non core skills like JS,HN, etc

It is great news for my big bloke Tory. I am still doing what I was told and plugging away at the outside skills, first passing then 1on1 last week, 1on1 again this week. This is what I was advised to do to make him a good PF for the Australian team but I am a bit worried. If I have to get him to triple sensational in big man skills, strewth, that is a big ask. Shouldn't I start soon or he wont make it?
