maybe grade preseason 2027 & Development Contract 2028?

the latter.

Glassie has supreme potential but still needs to put it together consistently before I have him there. Maafu looks excellent but I felt like a bit of impostor having him in there given I’ve only seen him live once and on tape a couple times. Taai is great. love the bloke but curious to see...

no one at that level, unfortunately. a few with strong first grade pedigree but nothing in that class. beyond the guys that have are training here and there with the full time squad (Godinet, Moors, Havea, Van Drie)... James Lanyon Christian Azzi Iszak Isdale Zephaniah Finau and a few long...

never really set the world on fire coming thru the grades at Wests if I'm honest. was anonymous that one year he played Harold Matts for us. when he went up to QLD he found something and never looked back.

yeah I thought Paea was best on ground as well actually. not sure on his prospects moving forward but we've always spoken about how we both feel he has something. James is an extremely exciting prospect.

Siotame definitely needs another spurt but realistically that's all he needs. he's got everything else from a technical perspective. I can absolutely see why he has a Development Contract. Moors and Godinet as you say could be a conditioning thing but I don't think they've been as good as we...

as a Tigers fan I'm delighted with that performance. I thought they were poor. from a prediction perspective it's far too early to know.

if he can grow another foot he could be anything. same goes for Kingston.

gotta be honest I didn't really see a standout, even with Moors and Godinet there. don't get me wrong there was certainly a few players that turned my head, but even as highly as I rate Pheonix he didn't really set the world alight apart from that gorgeous cutout. I think we've got three...

they seem to deal with being undersized pretty well. if Thompson comes back firing and Tupouniua stays on the field then they're going to give other teams nightmares. again, I'd love for you to be right and me to be wrong, but I just don't see it.

the system is just too good, unfortunately.

1. Canterbury 2. Penrith 3. Brisbane 4. Easts 5. Melbourne 6. Redcliffe 7. Parramatta 8. Wests 9. Canberra 10. Cronulla 11. Souths 12. NZ 13. Gold Coast 14. North Queensland 15. Newcastle 16. St George 17. Manly

I would love for you to be right, I'm just not sure this is the year. Tedesco is ageless and plays as such, DCE is coming to play 6 and will have considerably less touches of the footy and Nawaqanitawase and Toia are elite level footballers in the backline. their pack is just about the best in...

right edge native though. he's ahead of Samuela on the depth chart, of course, but if they're looking for blokes that play down the left week to week, he isn't one of them.

he was in fine form.

new episode (WTF #054) is out wherever you listen / watch.

no longer. he had to take a $150k paycut to stay at Souths and he opted for it. I really hope he can get over his leg fracture and kick on. got a lot of respect for Bud with how he dealt with being pushed out.

Wilton's way off from what I've seen of late, Billy Burns was keeping him out of the starting side last year. I wonder how much stock they put in playing on the left every week, because Sammy would then be above Preston, Duncan and Young as well. obviously when compared to a lot of those...

I think NSW will have their eye on Samuela. former U19 captain and there's a dearth of options at left edge given Crichton is headed to RU. it's him and Dylan Lucas battling for that spot for mine.
