Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Glenneel]

And none of them outside backs, who should already be playing open age footy at 19 if they're going to become first graders.

So there's still hope for Howlett & Rokosuka then?

Anyone have info on the summer squads? If and when they'll be announced?

A shame it appears that Lorima Seuseu won't be able to be named, he's killing it a year young for waratahs in the 16s competition.

I daresay there is more competition in Matts than u/16s for the Tahs

Seeing as Matts is 17 year olds you're right. Still to be lighting up the competition a year young shows great potential. It's a shame we won't be able to name him, need to make sure we get him a contract so he can play league again.

Petrus is a gun!

Petrus is a gun!

I only saw bits and pieces of the last 20 where he made a few errors.
Athletic build though, a lot to work with. Hopefully has a big offseason

Risati and Bloomfield are ones to watch

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And being outside backs, if they’re going to become NRL players, it will happen fairly soon since they peak much earlier than other positions.

Michael Nauer is also a Parra Junior.

Looking at Both Risati and Bloomfield they look like they may may the leap the Flegg next year once they finish with Ball (if they are actually retained for 2026).

Not sure the rushing players through will be part of Ryles plan they will need to server their apprenticeship through the development. 20-21 will be the age they make their debuts unless they are just too good.

I think there is a very good chance at least one if not both these boys end up pursuing Union over League

If they are good players the best thing for them is to get into the NRL in their teenage years play a few seasons then chase the Union coin overseas...

Bloomfield has developed alot just this year going from Matt's to the Union games he has played. He has a running style like RTS doesn't have the step though..

Risati could be better than Blaize especially if he develops in both league and Union.
