@balmain boy Stapleton gone?

 

[jrtiger]

well at least they've finally realised Stevanovic isn't up to it. stoked to see Saukuru get a debut and hopefully he makes a good fist of it. Tupou for mine isn't a fullback so this will be interesting. Pole and Rua starting is hugely exciting.

Finally realised Stevanovic isn't up to it. O'Kane and Kautoga in the backrow, nice. Tupou is a cat, don't think he'll go well at fullback.

Pole and Rua are the 2 guys I hear being names as stars of the future for the WTs

 

[Demps]

Few big name young lads stepping up again.
Lesgooo!

 

[Demps]

I wanna see Camroux succeed.
He's a great lad.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

We are desperate fullback wise and will be interesting to see Tupou get a few games at the back week in week out if they view this as an option. I don't see how he will have the motor but his frame would be a threat that's for sure - he is built very Joey Manu type.

Seeing Pole in the NRL extended bench and starting is really exciting.

The second row is very exciting - Kautoga and O'Kane, a vindication of junior development. Saukuru moves up to KOE and replaced by Kurt Picken, a NSW U16 Pathways centre. Well done.

has a brilliant kicking game, having him control the side at this age might prove to be the making of him.

Tupou the most overrated young signing I’ve seen in a long while the kid is a giant looks like Tarzan plays like Jane

Still young......
U cant put to much pressure on the kid

Still eligible for flegg

He's a talent.

Hoping he can progress through the grades well and become a star.

I know he’s a young kid but when he’s on a gun contract and hasn’t really shown any thing in flegg or nsw cup

Nope

Looks like he's afraid to make contact. Haven't seen anything to suggest he'll make grade.

Your 100 percent right

 

[balmain boy]

Maybe he's been carrying an injury and is just coming back in the past few months and is hesitant to put his body on the line? Who knows. Surely something that can be coached, or at least told do this or you'll get dropped and career over.

 

[balmain boy]

Interesting to see Saukuru there, not sure how he'll go. Again we only need so many players with the Nofo build. Short, stocky and slow backs are rarely the way forward. Talakai the exception not the rule.
