Inglis was about 6 and a half feet, is he that big?
And he played Origin at 19 wasn’t it?
God I hope this kid is that good?

Isn’t he contracted to us, how come we don’t get priority over Waratahs?

He's still growing so wouldn't surprise me if he gets close to 188-190cm & a couple of months ago did this.

His contract isn’t an NRL contract, it’s a junior contract, which is a different type of contract. It allows him to play other codes etc but just restricts him from playing for other NRL junior clubs.
It allows kids the freedom to play other codes, for their school etc.
I’m not saying he is Inglis, just his movement, speed and size is similar at that age. He would be about 6ft (give or take) and is still growing.

Not a bad shout, but Large is far more elusive with speed and agility. When you watch his highlights and see him go both around defenders and back against the grain with the same ease, most kids don't have the ability. Especially when they are playing against older kids
Wooow, Inglis was 6’6? Are you sure?

Ok, I checked with google and he is 6’5
I was just guessing with a bit extra.
I’m surprised about that even I thought 6’3, 6’4 at most. What a freak.
Played 12 for the U16 Waratahs. I think when he debuts it'll be at centre
Best way to bring him through at centre, and Galvin too. Don’t break them early in their careers let them ease into the top grade!

Honestly don’t think kids should get a thread until they’re setting reserve grade on fire. But each to their own.
pretty sure that us Makasini.

He's not as tall as Inglis but his legs are a similar size, that powerful build. And he'd be the fastest player currently contracted to WT.
While he's got a decent pass and kick on him, his running game is his strength. But apparently his family and agent don't want him playing outside the halves

.20 seconds off the national record with
a head wind. Funnily enough, it was set by
Henry Hutchinson who co-commentated
the race. Casey McLean on his outside is
a Penrith junior. I'll upload the clip hold on

That was impressive especially his speed off the mark & first 30-40m.

Was chatting with a mate who is very involved in grass roots Rugby. I mentioned Onitoni to him and he said there was some pretty huge hype about him in Rugby circles too. Was very disappointed to hear he is contracted at the Tigers but believes he'll stay in Rugby.
