People can over analyse whether hes ready or not but all we can go off is he played a test match and played amazing he is definitely worth blooding in first grade now

He would be worth blooding if our forwards and backs dominate every game just like Fiji did last night, as well as playing against Lebanon every week.

Nowhere near ready for 1st grade footy

Kid has the skills and smarts, though nowhere near ready for nrl.

You would need to be a complete idiot to yhrow him into first grade, especially with the squad he would have around him

There was some news in about why we should go for the manly brothers instead of Latrell cause they both worth 1 million https://www.foxsports.com.au/news/t...l/news-story/835f604e02bb5b7509ceab6e6f815d94

If this is true I would have them both as a package deal but not them both 1 million each that may be a bit to much for our cap space in 2021 or beyond
If we want to lure them away from Manly it's going to cost around ~2.2m/year for the 2 of them (1m jake, 1.2m tom)

Try, 2 try assists, 3 line break assists, 8/9 goals. Really didn't have to do much because of how dominant the pack and outside backs were but chimed in with nice passes and looked to be doing a lot of talking off the ball. Threw one of the most visually appealing passes for a Vunivalu try.
So is a fair staement that if he can play in that then could handle some FG? Cheers for the info too.

I personally wouldn't play him. Our NRL side is a mess and he could do with playing out the season in reserves and develop physically.

Never gonna happen but even if we had any chance of snaring either of them, I'd only want Tom, jake can stay at manly

Good point cause Tom we need for our backline we need to spend a lot of money on our backline as it has always been shit when we have a decent forward pack
