Just reading on Instagram Jared Haywood to possibly make his debut v Warriors. I don’t know this guy, is he ready and is he any good ?

Think that post was just speculation and clicks

Same not sure why Penrith would let him go if he’s not busted or gonna be over the hill

depends if they have a low cost option in the jr's to replace him. I would take him but only if he comes in 27

It's safe to say he doesn't know you either.

Who is on your untapped potential.

Tough one @Bellend .

Glassie has it in spades. Think Huahulu is one flying a bit under the radar. Once he puts on a bit more size, James Lanyon. And I'm a huge fan of Kingston Finau who will move up to SG Ball next season.

In the forwards, Isaac Perkins has so much potential particularly as he fills out. Pure footballer, huge motor, great tackle technique & apparently a great young leader.

A diamond in the rough, I like Balmain harold matts backrower Ratu Maafu - tackle-breaker, aggressive, x-factor.

Who is on your radar?

Leniu is 183cm, Leota 182cm

The issue with Leniu is not size, it’s just his lack of consistency. Only 25 though surprisingly so he has time on his side

I would take Leniu, we need a momentum changer/enforcer type, we have solid forwards in both Twal and May.

Haywood is our second best prospect behind Andrews. It's clear why the club prioritised him over Da Silva - he is much more creative at dummy half, has a crisp passing game and decent pace.

However, like any young hooker, he'll take time to adapt to the physicality and speed of first grade. He's slighter than Lanyon and has not even played a full game of KOE yet. I think it's premature to blood him now; bettet to give him more time in KOE where he's started making an impact in the past couple of games. Within a season, he'll be bossing it like Andrews.

I would like him too, but what's the asking price 800k, will our cap be in a position to fit him in.

Likely that Latu spells Lanyon then and provides cover should AD or Luai go down. Telling that Madden has been dropped completely, he doesnt have an injury does he?
