Individual training session for Blues youngsters

[Guest]

Robbie and Benji will be right for a while but I can see a future Wests Tigers team with:

1\. Tedesco
6\. Brooks
7\. Miller
13\. Sironen
9\. Moses

Moses is no hooker. He's the current Australian Schoolboy five eighth. Wests Tigers have a more than handy hooker coming through with Moses and Brooks named Manaia Cherrington.

Cherrington is an outstanding talent in his own right.

Moses if he is moved out of the halves it will be to the outside backs, he does not have the frame to play in tight.

Im alot more bullish on both Brooks and Moses than i am miller. If i had to pick just 1, for me it is easily Brooks

Brooks and Moses have received so many raps on this forum from different people. I haven't seen either play. What are their strengths, kicking,passing game, speed. Are they as good a prospect as Benji and Robbie were?

Moses from hooker virtually single handidly won the first 5 games for Balmain's SG Ball team back in 2011, don't rule him out of becoming a great hooker he was unstoppable from there.

Was that Sheens I saw at the half-back academy training session yesterday?…..I suppose he came down to see what might have been....

 

[southerntiger]

Australian Coach, former New South Wales coach, mentor to current NSW Coach and respected by the champions who were running the clinic - is it any surprise Sheens was there? Doubt it had anything to do with the Tigers players involved.

Hmmm… Benji's value is greater off the field than on the field so I doubt the club would look at him as simple as development of juniors.

If Benji can play for the Tigers until he hangs up the boots ie One Club Player, his value will again triple to what he can do for the Tigers.

Juniors Can Wait!

Some juniors can wait Watto, but every once in a while a junior comes along who MUST be signed up. Brooks and Moses are arguably the most important juniors the Wests Tigers have developed since their inception IMO.

Got to side with WIllow on this one. A lot can happen between now and those two becoming first graders but Moses in particular impressed me when I saw him play live. Easily the best player I've seen at that age.

If the two of them keep on developing we'll have a halves combination you build teams around. Where this leaves Benji I don't know but he appears to be itching to give a few other things a go before he retires so maybe he'll take a crack at yawnion. Anyway a lot could happen before these decisions need to be made.

If he was playing even half decent then he'd still make a squillion playing union in France or Japan - and would still be considered a one club player.

 

[Yossarian]

Especially Japan. He can run around for their season and then be back to be on Channel 9 if he wanted.

Id say they are as promising as robbie and benji, but temper that with the fact that not all super talents keep developing.

If i was to compare styles of these to well known players, moses imo seems electric and reminds me a little of phil blake and i hesitate to say this because it is a huge burden' but Brooks reminds me so much of joey. Defended super in schoolboys carnival footage and seemed strong for a half.

Others have seen more and may have different views

The future so bright I have to wear shades.

Looking forward to the development of Brooks and Moses.

Not every super star from the juniors makes the transition into the NRL.

Need luck with injuries and proper development along the way.

Agree that when their time is ready then tough decisions need to be made in relation to Marshall.

Great problem to have

Reading this makes the future of the Tigers sound super exciting. I would imagine that there will be several factors leading to the future for these young players. Sironen and Miller are well on their way. Hope the Tigers management guides the others well
