Some good snippets of him here.

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.

Thats one hell of a highlites reel

 

[StarswithStripes]

Impressive. I hope he can still move like that with speed in the top grade.

I’d hate to be that Raiders right centre. May in the first half and Makasini in the second.

They are both named to start, with fatappe off the bench

 

[tigahhh]

Does anyone know when he’s in our top 30 ?

Makasini joins the top 30 next season.

mario tartak, manages quite a few of our boys

I hope they do not rush this kid, the already expectations are not a good sign. We have the makings of a very good Flegg side next season, let them develop together.

Jesus...full back page on Origin decider day?

Too much

I wouldn't play him in Flegg. At the very least play him in NSW Cup. I just hope we play him in one position and don't screw around like we have with Luke

yeah you’ve got more chance of him in first grade before he gets put in flegg

Wests Tiger's are so dumb, the club never learns with our junior's, at a very young age we pump them up to all the other clubs before they play 1st grade after 1 or 2 years in 1st grade they always leave, we're bloody hopeless

Yeah true but Makasini had his fair share of publicity already and seems to have a good head on his shoulders without too much ego unlike others.

Bit of PR and to get back page on Origin day is phenomenal really! It helps reinforce local juniors are committed unlike some of the narrative lately.

The kid apparently weighs 108kg and based on pictures is around 6ft 5. I think when you are that much of a genetic freak, you can play first grade a lot sooner as an outside back (see Joseph Sualilii and Israel Folau).

And if Benji was happy to throw Luke into first grade when he was clearly underdeveloped physically, I think we will see Makasini sooner rather than later.
