2023 player to watch

[Halbrowne61]

I’m gonna throw Laurie in to this thread.
He has a lot to play for this year and with Benji on board we may just see the best of him.
Could be the surprise packet !

Still clinging to AD Demps,

It's not long compared to the gimp's devotees. 🙂 🙂

With all this talk of players to watch, what is more interesting is the style of football to be played. We know the coaching team will have our attacking structures, players in motion and most importantly players knowing their roles. No doubt some players will be happier playing this style of football which must have a positive impact on the team.

I have high hopes for Kepaoa with that mix of pace, power, step, ball playing and ability to set up his winger. Let's hope he has worked on his defence and is fully recovered from two serious injuries.

If AD plays centre in 2023 and goal kicker, he will finish top 5 point scorer in 2023

The ten year cling.

 

[earl]

Pole & Stef. They will rip and tear.

Big Ken, knowing Sheens and his love of playing expansive football and Sheens always has a few trick shots up his sleeve, so I think that the wingers will feature in a lot of the action this year.

 

[Telltails]

Tommy T, AJ, Blore, Stef - and even Douehi somewhat - have all been stalled by injury. You can only improve your game with consistency in the top grade. Need to all show if they have got what it takes for club to continue to invest in them, and hope they all get that opportunity injury free this season.

Klemmer.. just hope hes not mellowing with age

He's still young enough.

 

[jrtiger]

I can't name one.

Blore, Talau, Pole, Tupou, Utoikamanu, Matamua.

 

[stevied]

Hard to narrow it down to one but the three who I'll be interested in watching are Shawn Blore, Charlie Staines and Junior Tupou, all from a development standpoint.

The wingers will definately feature especially if Sheens put's 1-2 on the bench each week.Tim believes more in "winger rotation" than in "forward rotation"

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Blore

 

[Merlot]

interested in how Aitasi James progresses this year

 

[Suzie-Q]

Looking forward to seeing Blore in action, fully fit.

Hoping that 2023 sees the best of Brent Naden (nephew of 80s Wests Magpies centre, Ian Naden):

 

[Tucker]

Luke Brooks.
He takes advantage of our pack and lives up to his potential/hype built up over 9 seasons in the top grade and we finally play finals footy.

 

[Speed2burn]

I had a few in mind but for some reason Laurie really stood out for me

I think he finds his true potential this year barring injury

Judging by training pics, he's put on some muscle and looks fit.

Stefano Utoikamanu. Looking forward to seeing both him and Shawn Blore injury free. Heeps of potential in those two.
