We also have the best kicker in the game to learn off. Hopefully he gets in and does extras with Reynolds and picks his brain then that part of his game will come on in leaps and bounds.

His best play of the season was Round 16 in the draw against Tigers.

Watched Souths v Easts draw today- Mam's kick/kick for Bowie was brilliant. Loved that he took his time once he got the ball, didn't rush looked around and found the option.

It involved a kick too, but I think it helped he didn't have time to think about it he reacted.

While Mam doesn’t have much to show in the way of general play kicking, he has shown some great little trick shots - especially stabbing well weighted grubbers behind the line while at full pace. Very instinctual player who would thrive next to Reynolds.

How schweet it is to read about one of our young guns being signed to an extension without all the background noise created by the media. So often we are made to endure needless angst and uncertainty as the media drones on and on about how we are about to lose the next big thing to a rival club.

Mam had the advantage of not playing NRL yet, if he'd played NRL then they would have written about possibly losing him and clubs circling. You can avoid Badel just go to ISC and he will never see you or write about you.

Good reward , few things I liked about his last 12 months.

Mam was injured a lot of 19 and like a lot didn’t play any football in 20 so 21 rolls around and to play MM, Colts and ISC is a great year. He’s still probably 30-40 games behind.

Mam wanted to play MM and his age group and had a great “season.” Souths wanted to get permission to play him at ISC before 18 but he was happy to wait. I like that.

He played ISC on short notice and took up the challenge.

Wanted to play finals when he could have pulled the I’m done card.

James was great for him because it meant he didn’t have to kick which he doesn’t do much of. There is the first thing he has to work on.

Defence is his other issue; against Townsville and Hunters he kept making the same mistake. When Laybutt and Feeney scored he turned in and didn’t get off at all and then repeated it. Two tries through you in a final in 10 minutes is a hard lesson.

Who I think will help him more than anyone is Capewell. Capewell is a great explainer to halves on what and why. He will help his defence and his passing and help him understand the why.
Such a great summation and it rings true with the earlier reports you have posted about him throughout the year. Not wishing to put any undue pressue on the kid, but what would ou rate his game awareness capacity out of ten?

Good signing and he may be closer to playing than people think if he comes up with some really good form in ISC. We just need to let him develop and not push him too much.

He is the type of player that can easily seduce you into thinking he's playing well because he does big things at least once, kicks goals and runs.

His foundation still needs work, he is going to have to learn that the hard way in ISC.

I hope we don't have anymore ISC disruptions because it's costing these guys.

His game awareness for him is great, can pick when to run not when to kick but his game awareness for the other 33 players is not that great.

He's a kid that has spent his life running. I would too, stuff passing or kicking.

His last game in the finals he went in and out of the game, when Townsville were on top in the first half and dominating he retreated and it was Isaako who took control after half time, Mam went out to 6 and let Isaako get into first receiver but then that allowed Mam to run and score a try.

He needed to be freed up from the responsibility.

I’m not saying this in a bad way, but does anyone else get a bigger version of Milford vibes?
Has a bit of Raiders Milford about him, there’s something about the way he plays that makes me think of Cody Walker. The ball seems to bounce for him and he happens to find himself in the right place at the right time.

You have to be there for good things to happen! Following up the play always goes unnoticed until the ball bounces your way after 10th attempt. I loved seeing that.

it used to be Milford, like you said in his Canberra days and I’ll add first year bronco.

Same junior club, raised in the same area and went to school about 15 minutes from each other. They're very similar.
Good to know I’m not losing my marbles “yet”…

Is that a bad thing??

Milford was a weapon until Seibold destroyed the roster and made him play five eight, halfback and fullback, in the same game.

The highlights suggest that Ezra is the early days Milford... I don't think that's a bad thing... especially if he can come through on a decent salary and develop properly under the radar

Fingers crossed Reynolds can stay on top of his fitness because mam sounds like a handy partner for him. A bit of yin for his yang

That’s why I said “I’m not saying this in a bad way”

I loved Milford I hung onto hope he would pull through the other side I “was” one of his biggest fans.

It is a very good time for us to bring in a young half into the squad. We have a top tier game managing half and some mature back ups he can learn from. It gets him amongst the top grade but enables him to work on areas of his game he needs to and not push him prematurely into the starting team.
