Kane Linnett is the first natural centre we've had since Ryan Cross

Smith, if you know what's best for this club, you'll give this kid a fulltime jersey.

No more backrowers in the centres, no more slouches, this kid runs onto the ball, has a ton of speed, has excellent awareness and actually has a brain. 35 minutes in and you can already see that he's a keeper. Needs to work on his defence a little but that will come in time.

He would have been howled down by the supporters if melbourne put on a few tries down his side at the start... he misread several plays.. the dropped ball saved him.

Good to see some potential... can't wait for people to talk him up then shoot him down when he has a bad game.

People have called for him for a while but I think the time smith kept him down will serve him well.

I was supprised with how he played, played well in that first half.

Better then all of our centers combined, should stay in FG.

[Fairfax]

Far too early to put the usual pressure on him. Has played well though.

Exactly why I said that he needs to work on his defence. First first grade game, you can expect that. He has tightened up his defence since those two blunders, he'll learn.

Regardless of his D, I havent seen an easts player run onto balls outside like that for years.

What do you mean ? ...we praise him as the next saviour and then when he has ONE bad game we hang his nuts on the doorway at Easts Leagues.

That's how it works isnt it.

Linnett & BJ work really well together..

Not early at all, watch him carefully in the second half. You can see the "it" factor. It doesnt take a handful of games to see if a player is special or not. This kid, has it.

Watch him carefully.

^^^ this is what happens when you put expectations on inept down syndrome players like Shaun Kenny-Dumb

he came onto the ball so very quick for his try.

How bloody fast did he come into the picture?? He was like lightning...

Are you talking about the first one or the second one? The first, he was in the ruck after making a cracker tackle.

I may have missed that. I just noticed a few times he was nowhere to be seen when the ball went down his side.

Kane Linnett was a gun. Did everything you would want a center do, makes me think if Williamson was as good as some of the posters claim he is. Having said that, the Storm played poorly plus all thier were stars out but the Roosters played like they were on fire. Mini played so badly, made mistakes at the wrong time, if the game was closer the roosters would of lost. Thank God the roosters did turn up. I'm praying they replicate the same form next week against the warriors.

If Mini was ordinary tonight, I'd like to know what SK-Dumb's performance was.
