8. Blayke Brailey

The wraps on young Blayke Brailey have been solid since he was a kid. For years Sharks fans knew it was going to come down to a Brailey as their long-term option at nine.

The Sharks youngster is freakishly good. Brailey posted six try assists this season as well as seven line break assists, five forced drop outs and four tries. Keeping in mind he's in just his second season at this level and has two experienced, trophy winning halves calling the shots, those stats are impressive.

Brailey is absolutely key in all future plans in the Shire. Once his confidence peaks and his running game matches what he did for the Jets, watch out!

  2. Cam McInnes makes the NSW side as reserve to Cook and kept Reece Robson in reserve grade and he misses the top 10? Your eyes mustn’t work!

  3. Yeah theres no way in the world you can pick Reece Robson on suspicion. Sorry thats ridiculous. McInnes is very good. Robson is not even in his orbit right now.
