With all the talk of how good Cotchin is I thought who would be our 5 most talented players?
and our 5 toughest players?

Talented for me

Lids
Cotchin
Brown
Collard
Morton/Connors

Tougness/Courage

Cogs
Foley
Thursfield
King
Sarge

IMHO I think Reiwoldt is pretty close in both
 
I'd have Jackson in the Toughness/Courage category ahead of Sarge.

Bit of a worry when 3 of your named 'talented' players were in the 2nd's yesterday;
 
Johnsons courage can never be questioned. I remember that mark up at the Gabba a few years ago, I think he backed back into Bradshaw, not 100% sure though.
 
Richo as a lay-down-mezair to head up both categories. agree pretty much with your list CC. I reckon Reiwoldt will figure strongly in both lists too. Already seen him sum a situation up in the time it takes for a ball to sail into the forward line and think "I cant mark this, so I'll flatten the pack and hope a crumber can kick a goal" and he does it to great effect for a 19 YO. On shultz, Ive always sort of assumed hes tough, because he has the head that only a mother can love, but is he really tough? Does he flatten packs and back into them? I'm not saying he's soft ay all, just reviewing my own assumption of him as a tough nut. I reckon patto is pretty courageous too. He is struggling in a lot of other categories, but he doenst shirk any issues. Thursfield, like richo, has NO regard for personal safety and as such, would be no2 on my courage list. As a bit of a sideline, David Bourke, despite his shortcomings, had a frightening lack of regard for his own safety.

Interested/excited to see collard in your talented list CC. What's it going to take for him to make it?

Has all the tricks in his bag as was shown yesterday.

Just needs to pick up the slack as far as tackling and chasing goes.

I'd love to see him racing around the forward line now though.
