Big boy for an 18 yo, he will be able to deal with the physicality of the NRL. I think he's more a centre then winger but it's team first.

Have no confidence he will stay beyond his current deal

Geez. Seriously…. Let’s watch him grow and see how the next 3yrs work out.

Can’t remember the last time we kept a gun junior we wanted

We haven’t been able to build our club around juniors for a long time

Even now, the only junior in our 1-13 last week was Bula

Yes, seriously. Because as we've seen a million times over, players can walk out at any time.

He could be out of here middle of next season for all we know.

Two codes, multiple contents ready to snipe.

Watch him grow? He's 108 kg now!
108kg with speed, height, will be hard to stop.
Just get the ball out to him.

I dunno mate…isn’t he quoting what Maka said ? Seems a pretty direct statement to me …”the Tigers wanted me to do full time this year …” so possibly there was a misunderstanding on Maka’s end perhaps ?

I hope it is because I would have expected better from the Tigers.

Maybe they just gave him the option to take him on full-time if he didn't want to finish school. Which would be much better.

He's huge man.. Almost identical to Sua'ali'i when he was debuting

And yet the club convinced Maka to stay, he knocked back multiple union offers and is signed for 3yrs with us starting next season.

What more do people want from the club and kid who hasn’t finished school or even played an nrl game yet.

Just enjoy this weekend, hopefully the kid holds his own and then we have months of talk about how he fits into the team next season.

If we keep rising up the ladder,play finals footy etc..we've got a much better chance of keeping him
