Cain Tickner becomes first scholarship holder for Brisbane.
Great to see local lads coming through and obviously a priority pick for us.  If he lives up to Darling comparison will be a welcome forward/mid addition to our depth. Being only 17 probably has a couple of cms to add to his 193cm so will be a tall.

Very good to see. What are the rules with drafting Ringo? Will he automatically go to the Lions, does he go into the draft when old enough?

[Ziplock]

zone selection I would think?

[Ringo]

Will be a priority zone selection as Zip says. Think we have to nominate zone selection early as well. Pursuing developing our youngsters after the mature aged debacle of a couple of years ago..
Believe we can make top 8 next year.
