Blues 2017

@Crucial sorry, didn't really do Parson's justice there. He pretty much said or alluded to your line of thinking. He talked quite a bit about their guys, especially the young'uns, learning about personal responsibility and staying switched on. Pretty much about being professional, full stop.

Who else could have been rookie of the year?

Not many players were in their first season. Of those that were, only Collins got meaningful game time

[Bones]

@Duluth Parsons' headgear?

@pukunui

Both good but GCT and Scrafton are in their 2nd seasons

@Duluth Buzz Killington here to ruin the fun

[Crucial]

Is that a young James Parsons? The headgear looks familiar.

Had wondered that. Give it to SBW then, it was his rookie year as a Blues player after a long and successful 7's career.

It was originally intended for SBW, but it's sponsored by nib, so he declined.

"I think the season has shown us that there's still a lot of improvement to be made in terms of on-field leadership and our players accept that - in fact that's what they've said in the review and many of them have said they want to put their hand up and accept more responsibility."
