Bloody hell. Canberra Anthony Milford was unbelievable. Do we reckon this bloke will be on the bench in first grade next year?

I hope not.
Bring him along properly.

Do you think he would be at clubs like Roosters or Storm? This is one of the reasons why a lot of our juniors have not lived up to the hype, because they have been blooded way too early.

I'm going to disagree with that premise.

Every successful club, across all sports, understand that they have to separate the wheat from the chaf.

The NRL is a business, and we've proven that we are terrible at our part of the business.

We are slim on big bodies who have good speed off the mark and we are slim on players who are genuine tackle busters and line breakers.
It’s beyond me why we have any supporters who cannot see and understand this if we expect to have a successful team.
This doesn’t mean Doueihi is an automatic selection, he will have to earn his position in the top 17 like everyone else.

I think we all understand that Doueihi is a tackle buster Vicious - that was never the question. What Doueihi has to understand is that if he wants to play in the NRL it will not be as a half. I'll add that he needs to swallow his considerable ego and do what the coaches tell him if he wants to stay at the club.

Sounds like a good signing. Doesnt bode well for the WTF's boy Logan Deninger though

Betterday22, I don't understand why the signing of a very talented junior impacts the prospect of another very talented junior. It is not as though our club is overrun with very talented juniors. We need to adopt the big picture view just like the Roosters and even the Knights.

Let's hope Breynton can get it together at WTs. I read a post which advised he played for the Māori Under 15s which with his stepping and attendance at Keebra Park means he has commonality with Marshall. It will be good to watch his progression under Marshall.

Good post. Doueihi and Bula are perhaps our only two backs that can go the length of the field. Our first game against the Warriors highlighted how important this is to a team.
