Good to see. Fainu, Manamia and Perry named to start. Anyone know anything about Mitsias, Boyling, Meads and Wilkin? Wilkin I may recall was a forward who was interviewed back in 2019 as part of the Wests Tigers Junior Academy…

Zayn Wilkins? Balmain SG Ball with Pole, Sione Vaihu, Cayne Nicholas and Jaxson Rahme (Souths). He plays 2nd row.
 
Some new names I see there

Any info on them?
Boyling is over from Dragons KOE Cup and was previously with the Jets (has only had a handful of games at that level). Keaton appears to have come over from the Eels where he has been coming from the interchange most of the year. I would say both players are looking for more of an opportunity for game time over here. Don't know if it will be too much to get excited about. Hope they surprise us!

Zayn Wilkins has been playing a bit of Flegg for us. Set up a try and scored one based on highlights vs the dogs 2 weeks back. Only young and a decent prospect. Not sure he will be placed in higher regard than the likes of Tumeth, O'Kane, Kautoga long term in that position though.
 
Boyling was Jersey Flegg at Sharks last year:

Sharks Jersey Flegg Player of the Year - Jack Boyling

While he carried the ‘C’ as Sharks captain, Jack Boyling led the way in much more than just title, with his wholehearted performances making him a standout for the Cronulla team in 2021.

Playing in the middle of the field as a lock, or often as an edge back rower, Boyling was equally as effective in either role, his tireless defence and willingness to take a tough ball carry an inspiration to his team.

His coach certainly appreciated the captain’s efforts during the 2021 season.

“Jack had a break out year for me, not only from a football sense but as a leader, which showed that hard work and persistence pays dividends,” Dallalana said.

“He leads the way with his work ethic and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to preparation on and off the training paddock.

“I thought Jack really stood up for our team this year and paved the way for our young squad. He is a great guy and I have all the time for him as a person and he has definitely turned into a confident leader who is willing to show the way forward,” Dallalana added.

My research only found the NSW Cup experiences(I thought he was a year or 2 above the Flegg age bracket)...which wasn't much at this point....however it makes sense that he was involved more heavily in Flegg now! Thanks for the extra info!
