I saw last night Gus say Sexton won’t be there next year. So I guess he’s staying out after all.
Far out man he looks like a backline version of Payne Hass.
I’m not sure he said that 100% on 100% footy if that’s what your alluding to.

I’m always very wary of junior footage because some kids have never lifted a weight before but he looks pretty impressive.

Im extremely excited by the prospect of Makasini. I have watched him through Matts, SG and also play union at Newington. He is definitely a talent and his skill set is very hard to compare. It is rare we see someone who hits like Jorge Taufua but can run as fast as Coates and evade and break off tackles like GI. The best player comparison I have heard is Israel Folau (Shoutout Wests tigers life).
I think a good measure of these CAS/GPS/ISA kids is if union is after them too. Makasini had RA. French rugby and Japanese rugby lined up to my knowledge.
Despite this I am strongly against him debuting this year. Despite playing SG this year he is still 17 turning 18 which is just way too young. I would love him to finish the year playing cup get another uninterrupted (by school) preseason with first grade. It is true though he is too good for Flegg but still needs time running around with the big boys in cup.
Would be a shame too see another prospect rushed into first grade because we gave up on our first grade side.

Hope the kid stays off socials now, especially TikTok, already seeing people trying to hate on him and troll him

That looks like a man playing against boys. How on earth can a 17 year old be that big? On top of that he looks highly skillful too. Wowee.
Edit: Watched the highlights again. This guy could be the next superstar of the game. I am hyped.
