Your initial question said nothing about who hasn't played first grade yet!!!!
A few comments later I said for players who haven’t played first grade yet

But not the first time which is what I went off....A few comments later I said for players who haven’t played first grade yet
Yeah until those last two games I was calling for him to be moved into the forward pack.Even in that Storm game Jennings did some good things but he did some bad things as well in that game from memory...... his defence must improve as must his ability under the high ball if he's to stay on the wing....
Against Canberra in round 21 I think it was on the right wing he was shocking.....
In fact there are more games I can recall where he was far more ordinary than good.....
Let's see if he's learnt his lessons in the new year....
Gagai wasn't purchased to play wing. If he was, then he should have stayed at Newcastle.
The Souths cupboard is thread bare for decent centres and that is exactly where Gagai will play.
It would have been most gratifying to pick up another decent centre in the off season, as we need another. But that bird may have flown by now.
We have the best centre in the World sitting in the cupboard and if the coach is smart then that's exactly where GI should play.
Sutton and Angus were absolutely diabolical in defence against the Storm. IMO part of the reason why our centres and wingers struggled in defence is because our edge secondrowers were both playing 80 minutes every week with neither being a strong defender.Even in that Storm game Jennings did some good things but he did some bad things as well in that game from memory...... his defence must improve as must his ability under the high ball if he's to stay on the wing....

With 2018 most likely being a transition season, i kinda share that opinion.
More games at 1 for AJ to grow into the role and GI could mentor a player like Jennings while they play outside him on a week to week basis.

AJ looked sensational at fullback late in the year after some great games on the wing. I think the time is exactly right to put him there on a fulltime basis. We actually have a bit of depth out wide.
GI needs to do what's best for the team. Tony is in a hard position in that GI want's to play fullback and what is a new coach going to do? If he makes the call and GI gets the shits then it's not a great look for the coach moving forward.
GI impact at fullback was nothing like the three years we were top 4. Defenses have improved tactics against him have evolved and improved. But one on one he is still the hardest bloke in the world to handle. He's still the most complete centre in the game. No brainer if you ask me.
I don't think Gagan will make it..... just the feeling I have...It will be interesting to see how Kennar and Gagan will go.
I know Rsag said this thread was about guys who have yet to debut, but I'm keen to see if those two play much if any first grade next season.
I'm also very keen to see how Campbell Graham goes. He's looking more bulked up than last year on the preseason shots, especially in the upper body.
Understandable considering his track record but you never know, we have a tendency to unlock potential of those who have struggled before; Andrew Everingham and Cody Walker are just some examples.I don't think Gagan will make it..... just the feeling I have...
I'm excited re Kennar....Understandable considering his track record but you never know, we have a tendency to unlock potential of those who have struggled before; Andrew Everingham and Cody Walker are just some examples.

This is his big chance....
Won't get his chance unless both AR and Cody are injured....If he gets the chance, Connor Tracey will fire.
Very, very skillful kid and it sounds like he's training the house down
I think it depends whether Cody or Adam are injured.Won't get his chance unless both AR and Cody are injured....
Doueihi is the next in line clearly...
Clearly? Based on what?Won't get his chance unless both AR and Cody are injured....
