    He only 17 and wieghs 89kg. By the time he makes his debut assuming its in 2011 he'll be comfortably in the mid 90kg range. The perfect size for a 5/8. And plenty physical. A potential Super signing. Future planning. Talking of future planning has the Force signed up the local kid in the Aus Schoolboys. He's supposed to be rather handy to.

    ive seen him play, he is pretty good, QLD are never going to keep all the good young talent, with the top schoolboy team 4years in a row they are spoilt by choice in one regard. Jono Lance and Ben Tapuai are two other academy players coming through who cover the same positions and are ahead in development for the time been.

    This is when we really need the tier 2 national comp and get these kids fast tracked...

    Sorry, maybe skinny's not the right word. Underweight? JOC will give him some pointers on filling out - he seems to have done a good job, compared to how he was when he first came!

    Welcome to TWF Kale. I hope he does great too

    Thanks for the welcoming Thought I might check out what's on the Forces MENU for next year!

    Yes - he indeed is underweight! He's really working hard on it at the moment.
    Hoping for a good year! & with JOC he'll feel just at home!

    first of all welcome. What about the average size in your family. Karmichael wouldn't be much bigger bulk wise. 89kg at 17 thats actually pretty good. J'OC has had a couple of seasons of development and is only 87kg. By the time he makes his debut he'll be plenty big enough.

    Mud

    What is needed is a Academy version of the Super 14. The squad could travel with the main and play the best from NZ and SA.

    The Force is becoming the go to team for the up and coming. could spell for a great future.

    I'm astounded by the comments from the Nudgee (I think it was) coach.......better than JOC on occasions, like tackling smoke, if JOC wasn't starring Stephano was. I'm assuming the guy's not a total mug as a coach, and given the potential in JOC there's a lot to be happy with.

    It seems the unsigned talent in Oz has a pretty good idea where to go if you want to develop your game!

    Any word on JO'C yet? I heard from a relatively unreliable source (a Kiwi - but Force fan) at the pub on Sat that he'd signed up with the Reds last week. My response to that was that there was no way he could have signed up and TWF hadn't heard about it!

    Last I heard - about 3-4 weeks ago from a pretty close source, was that it was the Brumbies baby.

    I just don't know. The Reds thing is interesting - I've always wondered if that was a chance. Last week Daniel Herbert indicated that Berrick Barnes was definately right to re-sign, but it couldn't be rushed because there were a few technical issues to sort out first.

    I'm wondering if Berrick has said, I'm right to re-sign as long as you deliver JO'C and Digby as well?

    Who knows?
