Another junior signing.

Looks like a unit. Had a quick look around and seems he was the starting backrower for the Beaudesert Under 18s side that won the Gold Coast league this year and played off the bench for his school side Mabel Park based out of Slacks Creek. Can't see too much to make him stand out but must have good tape at least to have gotten a contract. Not sure if he's an 11th grader or 12th grader but if he's 12th grade and not making the starting side for a non elite public school team then that gives me a little pause.

Never know what might happen with good coaching I guess. Good luck to the lad.

Cant believe Bellamy is actually going the titans

I can’t believe it either, the perennial party town won’t know what’s hit em😂

Lewis, Kenny, Lyons, Daley, Fittler, Lockyer, Thurston, Munster

All good ones Tuck but so was Benji I'm not a believer of ranking one's better than the other they all had different qualities and it becomes a matter of individual opinion.

Add Maloney to that list. He was a big reason 4 different teams won premierships when he was with them.

Yes that’s true.
I’d just also add when Benji left Tigers he played halfback for 3 years at Dragons indicating Widdop was a better 6, was primarily off the bench for the Broncos, and the same at the Bunnies.
I might also pose the question…had he been Australian, would he have ever played Origin? For either side?

without a shadow of a doubt. even QLD would’ve found a spot for him at 14 or in the centres. NSW had some diabolical halves there during Benji’s prime too. he would’ve been a mainstay of that side.
