2023 Pre Season

Yeah he normally doesn’t mentioned a kid like Bula if he isn’t impressing.

He can’t play round 1 unless they promote him before hand, but maybe they view him more a 24/25+ years.

Do we know how long he is signed for? Don't want to advertise him and someone snags him from under our feet

 

[ancient_magpie]

far too early. kid's development will be completely ruined if we play him against men at this stage. I genuinely believe he could be anything, the last thing we need is for us to rush him. he'll probably get some minutes off the bench in Flegg at absolute best.

He's got Rua and Simpkin in front of him next year I think

It’s good to see them pass the ball as opposed to the last 4 years😁

Noticed Simpkin and Justin M doing a lot of ball playing …

I know it’s basically touch footy at training but ball movement looks fast

Still no sign of brooks?

Yeh odd no brooks

Just a theory but they had benji at first receiver a bit, maybe to show the kind of involvement they expect from brooks and hope he studies it .. or I could just be talking out of my ass

Matamua heavily involved in both attack and defence.

Man tuki looks a lot more lean then he was last year

He is my smoky for a first round pick

And on the left at that. Didn’t he play on the right for the eels? Matamua sharp with the ball 🐯💪

Won Dally M second rower of the year playing mostly on the left edge in 2021 before switching to the right last season.

I wonder if we will have IP on the left with Brooks and Doueihi on the right with Bateman.

Man I hope we get 2019 Bateman. He was so good for the raiders. Such a unique style of player for a forward but it worked well

Didn’t realise he had a short kicking game as well

It’s a game based largely on effort as he’s not that quick or strong. I really can’t see him mailing it in.

 

[CornerPost]

I hope he does as well..but we seem to be flushed with both first grade ready and emerging backrowers.. can't remember the last time we had this many

 

[TigersFan101]

With all the training footage coming out, a fair bit of it is promoting matamua playing lock
I think he might start the year of the bench and work his way to the 13 jersey
