From Inside Football Draft liftout - Second list.
Luke Casey-Leigh - Sandringham Dragons. DOB 9/3/89 Ht 196cm Wt 84 kg.
"Played well in the Allies game and state testing was good so he might be in the mix. He played on Matthew Kreuzer when we played the Knights and was named out best player so he might be a late draft/rookie chance. He's a tall back who is quick and can run under three seconds for 20 meters so that makes him attractive. He kicks the ball OK, his decision making got better as the year went on and he was probably our best improver" - Sandringham Dragons regional manager Wayne Oswald

Sounds good, although like Dave I would have preferred a rookie ruckman.

I wanted mulligan who can play both CHB and ruck, but luke still seems like a decent pick the pace sounds good a little worried by the timid part reminds me of tex but he should get there.

Hmm interesting choice.

If we were looking for a player of this type, i would have thought we'd have given Joel Smouha a look-in.

Taller, and with a great leap. Plays in the ruck for Mt Gravatt and was top 10 in repeat 20m sprints, first in the beep test and 3rd in the 3km trial.

So the kid has plenty of agility, can run all day, is still growing, and can ruck a bit.

Was very surprised he wasnt drafted, but is a bottom age pick, so maybe we can get a look at him next year.

Very interesting choice. I had him as a rookie chance and did a right up as a possible.Have read some stuff saying he is soft and think thats probably pretty rough. He certainly has some development left in him.

Whats most interesting is that he went o/s on holidays apparently a few weeks ago so either the club sent him off deliberately or he was a last minute choice.

Hmmm.....has he been tanking a bit??

Apparently hates Kreuzer with a passion.

Wayne - what odds do you want he debuts on or before Round 4 2008?

I'll wager a pocket dictionary. You can take it anywhere with you and never be lost for the meaning of a word ever again. Pretty awesome...

I'd reckon he'd be very, very unlikely to debut that early.

1. he's a rookie so someone has to go on the LTI list
2. he's bottom age
3. We just drafted the tool man who's similar dimesions and plays a similar role so would surely be ahread in calculations
4 We've also got others you'd think would be ahead for a go at CHB like JA for example.
