Also we have to remember their family / father has a strong influence on getting them in 'best financial and developmental position' asap. Had no difficulties in playing WT off against Manly and the same will happen with Ashton. Think will end up at Manly years end (2025).
Not a lot of talent currently off contract ....Richo needs to keep shaking those trees ...see what happens
Does vaguely look like him. Could be any number of juniors though.
Really hope we get a look at Makasini in 1st grade next season has a lot of wraps.
He’s 17
It’s already put Tim Jo on the path to Origin.
Turns 18 during the season
Maybe. I just never like when people talk about kids who haven’t even debuted like it’s a forgone conclusion that they are the next big thing.
Let it happen naturally
Agree but if he's ready let him play some games for a taste of 1st grade sure they will look after him.
100%, really hope they hold him back and manage him properly. Throwing him just for the sake of it, like we have done recently with a number of younger ones, can do more harm than good.
Hopefully you are right mate, would be good to have a couple really talented hookers on the books when API retires. Seen on twitter that he has been spotted doing extras with his brother, Josh Aloiai & a few other manly players - tho this could just be for fitness.
Their father was a decent player in the Tigers system as a junior. He defected to Roosters and ended up on the scrap heap. You think he would have learnt from his experience that keeping them at the Tigers might have been best for their chances.
Pay cheque or premiership?
