Our two best forwards are 17 year olds in Lodge and PPR. So our future is bright. Can't wait until Kennar gets back our back line will look a lot stronger.

U20 origin is in a few weeks Lodge, Britt and Mann will be selected. Kennedy is a chance and Brittain was named in the summer emerging squad but hasn't played enough so I don't think they will select him.

Another good win by the Thunderbolts.

I have only seen him a couple of times but Pride Petterson-Robati looks like a talent.

U20 Origin impressions

Mann - Was good in a beaten side made a couple of try saving tackles. Looked good getting the inside ball.
Britt - Played whole match was good. Defense was good with 32 tackles but gave away 3 penalties. Needed to look to pass rather than run a couple of times.
Lodge - Played about 30 mins. Was great in the first stint helping setup the first try and his charges were strong. Gave away a stupid penalty. Always looking for an offload.
