I would say this is our best crop of young talent in 15 years.
- BBO
- Schouup
-Alamoti
- Rajab
- Averillo
All have the potential to be stars of the nrl. Need to make sure we don't destroy them but throwing them to the wolves in a shit side. I was going to add Topine to that list but not convinced he is big enough.

Don't now why Barrett chose to blood Manu ahead of Heleta. Manu is very small for a centre. Would like to see Heleta given a shot as he's the one with most tackle busts etc in Regies.
Heleta ain’t built for first grade

Schoupp should have been in the top 30 this year yo.
We ran an unnneccessary risk of losing him when it was obvious we had no centre depth
Overcompensating next year with Naden, Schoupp, Allen, Alamoti

He didn't do too well last week, knocking on twice & being put on report, but he hadn't played reserves yet, so we should be a little soft on him for that performance. Time will tell I guess.

I like Heleta but it’s a death sentence to put him in FG. His change in direction is way too slow in defence and he gets caught out heaps. Is a strong power runner and I like him but it just would not end well

I'm pretty sure out of the 2 only Manu has the train and trial..

Besides he is really really short.. he'll get murdered by the cross field kick, he turns really slowly and he looked pretty unfit.

Niggled JMoz lol

Surely Floppa can't stay in the team much longer (if he is staying) ..just terrible effort by him.

The team would be so much better without these 6 or so lazy, mistake riddled players.
Hoppa was known for his silky hands and deft passing. He dies with the ball every time he gets it now. He provides no threat on the edge; defenders know he'll hog the ball, and has no side step or speed.

I think those years playing fullback fucked Hoppa.

Danny Ghantous is another one to keep an eye on. Lightning fast hooker.
