News super talented teen Joash Papalii has re-signed for futher 3 years

[diddly]

Sure. A long way to go. But if he was voted player's player for the Australian Schoolboys, that alone would make him one of best prospects in his age group. And a young 'star'.
Similar to Topine?

More attacking ability than Topine - selection in schoolboy age rep teams - lots more than just ability determines selection in those teams.

Hope he continues to grow and develop.

 

[grunta]

He plays a lot of positions in the spine - he never shuts up on the field when fb

What's his best position you reckon bro?

 

[grunta]

Looks like he actually wants the ball

I see a lot of Jahrome Huhes in him

 

[diddly]

What's his best position you reckon bro?

Hard to say - Ill tell you when he stops growing - if he gets some height and doesnt lose speed fb. Long way to go - needs to deliver at Flegg level first

Parents didnt want 2 Josh Papalis playing NRL..

Parents didn't want him to be compared/confused with the other, less talented Josh papalii of the Canberra raiders....

Don't get the hype surrounding this kid. Whenever he makes a break he gets tackled.

What a jahash

At least he has the talent to actually MAKE a break.

In SG ball. If he were a real superstar of the future, he'd know how to not get tackled after making a break. Has the words career NSW Cup player written all over him.

I've seen him play a few times and he has superstar written all over him. You spend your entire Kennel life spruiking mediocrity so you are not in a position to judge talent. If he continues on the same trajectory he will be a gun and should see first grade in a few years

Superstar? Come on, bro. He might make a half decent first grader if he can develop the skill of not getting tackled every time he makes a break.

Happy fishing Flanagun

Have you seen him play or have you seen the highlights video in the thread?

 

[Roger the alien]

On an unrelated note, it's a shame we missed out on Max Jorgensen, committed to the Waratahs for the next 2 years.

 

[Flanagun]

Have you seen him play or have you seen the highlights video in the thread?

Both, bro. I go to every SG Ball game.

 

[B-Train]

Of course the troll of all trolls wants to write off another youngster. Clearly he knows more than Gus and the schoolboy selectors.

 

[Flanagun]

Happy fishing Flanagun

Your claims are baseless, sir

Bro, I'm just saying he'd be better if he learnt how to avoid getting tackled. What is even controversial about that?

 

[Nate DAWG]

Both, bro. I go to every SG Ball game.

All good then. I've only seen him a couple of times. Looked good, moved well, always in the game and looked a class above to me..

I think he's a class above players who don't make breaks, but a class below players who make breaks and don't get tackled, so not all bad.
