Do you know much about these boys, what are they like?

 

[ALX25]

Big fan of Kurt Picken due to his toughness and ability to play in multiple positions, but he is injured?

I thought Jackson Topine was from WA? and is thus ineligible for NSW selection.

Mosese needs a big finish to the season.

ALX25 - you seemed well informed re juniors - thoughts on Okunbar as a winger rather than a forward or centre - his defence is woeful but seems to have the size n speed for modern day winger.
Also I thought Jackson Topine was a standout in HM - Kurt Picken also very good before getting injured - opinion?

Can he work for it or is he just an athlete? Perhaps an Oates player? Not sold on what position.

Hopefully Picken will be fully fit next season, but not sure what position is best.
