Promising Juniors

[Ponyo]

Cini is the one to watch...it's a race between him and seyfarth for the next ranga to debut but Cini has the edge. Cini is the man

Being a development player, he's eligible for a debut from round 17 (2020).
Cini & Talau played in the same Aus schoolboys side, both were pushed out of centre positions by others.. But it will be interesting comparing their development over the next 12 months.
Zac's highlights package is one of the best iv'e seen for a youngster, hopefully he gets a taste of NRL level, be it 1 game in 2020.

I understand he's a development player CocaCola, and I agree the kid is a stud.

Nice to have some prospects.
You can see the evolution of our strategy from trying to develop our own talent, to ignoring youth altogether after the last batch failed or left. Now we develop some, but more importantly buy the best we can young enough off others to get them into our system pre NRL.

It seems we have finally learnt a lesson, not only from our own failures but also from the success of others.

Wow that young prop Marvoni Tuifua has so go forward in him .. !!

Reece Hoffman is a gun centre from the QLD under 20 program .. he reminds me a lot of a young Chris Lawrence .. Hoffman will make grade this season .. !!

Yeah, Mav has some real oomf about him. Look forward to see the young fulla in 2020.

Edit: we'll have one of the meanest young packs in the comp in the next couple yrs.

Hope so.

Feels that way with Stefano coming on board.


Along with Mikaele, Seyfarth and hopefully a few more kicking on.

No more Mr nice guys.

Is this young prop Mavoni locked up with the Tigers?

Let's hope he is, and we don't do the typical Weststigers thing of slowly slowly development and bringing them in nice and easy so we don't put too much pressure on them.
Nek minnit, Storm fly up and sign him and voila ! another purple super player in an instant !
He looks good enough to sign on whatever contract can having him try his hand at NRL in 2020. I don't really see any area of his game that isn't NRL ready.
Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone !!!
