No sign of Tempest, but Dotoi has been carving up in a strong team. Some brilliant individal tries due to his acceleration, speed and elusiveness. The team are 3 from 3 and will play again in the round of 16 knockout later on today.Kienan Tempest & Dudley Dotoi are playing for the Saltwater Murris Open Men's team at the QLD Murri Carnival.
I really like what I'm hearing with Faagutu. Strong ball runner, good leg drive, an area where the club has lacked with middles for a while. With a season of development in lower grades already has debuted in QLD Cup, and a full pre-season under his belt, I see him making an appearance in FG next season or '24.Aussie Schoolboys def Fiji Schoolboys 58-13 earlier today. Chris Faagutu bagged himself 2 tries. His defence was strong and ball play was awesome. Can't wait to see what he does for our squad
I'm assuming Faagutu may be training with the FG team in the off season as he's not been selected for SG Ball so far?I really like what I'm hearing with Faagutu.

Fairly certain too I read that Miller is training with 1st grade next year so have to assume same with Fa’agatu.
Development contract or not be should be training with first grade full time from day oneI'm assuming Faagutu may be training with the FG team in the off season as he's not been selected for SG Ball so far?
100 percent I would expect to see him training with first grade. I can see a similar progression to Matamua from this year I reckon.Development contract or not be should be training with first grade full time from day one
He's already ahead of Matamua despite being younger.100 percent I would expect to see him training with first grade. I can see a similar progression to Matamua from this year I reckon.
I think Faagutu has potential to be similar to a taumalolo type player as he has similar size but with ball skills. Could be a reach but I think he could reach that levelHe's already ahead of Matamua despite being younger.
Agreed, but still expect the club not to rush him into 1st grade. SG Ball eligible, but should play a bit of Flegg, mostly spending his time with experience in NSW Cup and then a chance to make debut in 2nd half of the year.He's already ahead of Matamua despite being younger.

Very keen to see him in our colours!
I guess the only other issue is where would he play if Hastings is to be lockAgreed, but still expect the club not to rush him into 1st grade.

As long as he is used as a lock, he is one of the most talented juniors to come out of SEQ since Chris MCKenna but is not at the same level when playing at prop which he was forced to do this yearHe's already ahead of Matamua despite being younger.
I hope they don't see him and then try and push him to prop because of his size as it'll be a waste of skill and talentAs long as he is used as a lock, he is one of the most talented juniors to come out of SEQ since Chris MCKenna but is not at the same level when playing at prop which he was forced to do this year
He isn’t that big really given the videos / images you see him in. A bit like a John Asiata mould.I hope they don't see him and then try and push him to prop because of his size as it'll be a waste of skill and talent
Either way I just hope we use him properly so we don't lose him to another team anytime soon. His market value would probably be high after being named Australian Schoolboy and starting for them too.He isn’t that big really given the videos / images you see him in. A bit like a John Asiata mould.
We're full of props across all junior grades. There's absolutely no need to turn him into one. He's a lock/second row and I'm sure that's where we'll play himI hope they don't see him and then try and push him to prop because of his size as it'll be a waste of skill and talent
I certainly hope so cos the kid is good enoughWe're full of props across all junior grades. There's absolutely no need to turn him into one. He's a lock/second row and I'm sure that's where we'll play him
