I've always thought Eason was too small anyway, he does have a bit of bulk though and takes some pretty heavy knocks. What he lacks in physicality he manages to make up in defence and I would strongly argue that he is no longer a 9. He fits the bill of a 9 but looks more of a playmaker and has the kicking game of a 10, that being said I have only seen him behind go-forward ball at 10, his games at 9 have been unimpressive in my opinion, he gets to the breakdown too slow and often does a Genia and sits on the ball. He would be roughly Greene's size IMO but his defence is slightly better and he is also more creative and knows where to find gaps. Neither have a huge amount of experience at 10 as neither really played much there last year but they are both shouldering large weights of expectation.
Agreed re Greene's kicking but you have to remember this is the kids second shot at an Aus schools jumper, he failed the first time and the pressure the second time around will only be more enhanced. When you make the decision to repeat year 12 you have to be truly motivated and believe that you will get it the second time around, particularly in Greene's situation where he isn't on a scholarship. The big boppers from NSW would love to see a QLD team with Greene and Eason at 15 and 10 respectively but I can't see it happening, there are always one or two surprise selections and we are quick to discount AIC players and CSS players, probably not a wise move.
