Opinion Joseph O'Neill should be our 7

[bradtalo]

Extremely underwhelmed by both Hutchison and Sexton. In his limited time last week O'Neill looked more a skillful natural halfback than either of these duds.

Mitchell Woods ready next year hopefully.

Oloapu still a chance when he comes back also

 

[GA45]

Good that we have young options. Let them grow their time will come.

 

[chemdog]

as much as I want this to happen it's too soon to play him in 1st grade this season

I liked Hutchinson and Sexton last week. Different story this week.

Hutchinson ticks more boxes for mine at this stage and Oloapu can stay in Reggie’s for the year when he returns. Needs constant game time and our Reggie’s will be a strong side for him to build his confidence in.

Sexton had 20 minutes. Hard to get into the game in that time, let alone with so many random combinations going on

 

[LeeroyJenkins]

Too soon for him

[Chris Harding]

The team is still a new side, and players are getting to know each other. Give them a few games to sharpen up.

 

[Freakzilla]

I've probably been his biggest fan here over the past 12 months but it's too soon. We should keep him in NSW Cup for the season to develop more. Then I'd start him at 7 in 2025.

 

[King Gus]

Sexton burton combo for now let the kids have more time.

 

[blah]

If they all reach their potential the Papalii/KO/O’Neil/Hayward spine in a couple years time is gonna get us out of the trenches

 

[Moedogg]

Can't wait to see the back of Burton, hopefully these kids are ready before his contract is up so they can release him to the Tigersm

If we can trade him for something good

People keep complaining about Burton like they do Gus. Those same people want Burton gone and guess what if we have someone ready to play the 6 and take this team to the next level Gus is the man to move Burton on before his contract finishes. That’s one of the things he does well.

I thought the same last week actually immediately after that game. What I saw tonight reinforced it

O’Neil is a good young player. He is not ready 100%

 

[bradtalo]

O’Neil is a good young player. He is not ready 100%

How old is he ?

Seems like he's mature beyond his age. Captain of the team. Player of the match in the comp winning team. Great kicking game. Hits hard in defence also if you watch his highlights

 

[KLil]

Relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ur sax.

 

[Yougra]

O'Neill doesn't have the size yet to handle first grade

He would get run over defensively

Give him a chance to develop and build himself up in NSW Cup for a year at least. He is still very young

No more sacrificing young guys before they are ready. That's why we have recruited experience in most positions, to see us through the next couple of years until these young guys are ready for NRL

And the amount of errors in the last 20. Should have been given the half to get into the game. Hutchinson will start the year at 7.
