@tiger102 Tom Mikaele is only one likely to debut this year. Powerhouse forward who will push for a bench spot early in the yeat. I don’t think Sam McIntyre is good enough for first grade and Dylan Smith won’t be ready this year.
The development guys we’ve got this year are a much better batch then last years. All 4 have played juniour reps.
Jock Madden - 5/8 from Newcastle. Very highly rated half who starred for Aus Schoolboys. Goal kicker too
Kane Bradley - backrower Fromm Saints. Huge unit, only 18 and 195cm 107kgs
Tommy Talau - lock from Dogs. Willie Talaus son. Skillful yet hard runner
Alex Seyfarth - backrower from WTs Flegg. Workhorse who’s already played nsw Cup
We’ve also nabbed Zac Cini from Penrith and Kurt Dillon from Canterbury both exciting backs. Cini has signed for 3 years, electric runner who scored 4 tries for Aus SchoolBoys recently. Dillon was the leading try scorer in SG Ball last year.
Cini in particular is one to keep an eye on. Probably 2 years off but I’ll be surprised if there isn’t a bit of hype around him in 12-18 months.
That’s Madden, Cini and Talau with their Jnr roos jerseys
