5 years Who will be the Superstar?

[Geohood]

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.

Wait till he moves to fullback.

So that puts those players ~ 23, 24 Right? (Bar Inglis who was 20-21!)

So, who will be the superstars in 5 years if we're focusing on those age groups?

Edit: Marshall Magic isn't allowed in tipping comps as he clearly has a sports almanac from 2032.

Players who are rep footy regulars in their early 20s will probably be the stars in their late 20s. In 2018 Hayne will be 30, Cherry 29, Johnson 28, Sam Burgess 29, Barba (if he gets himself together) 29, The Dugan 28 (if he hasn't been thrown in gaol by then) and Foran 28, these guys will probably become (or remain) the games elite in 5 years.

Or to think of it a different way, think of where all the biggest superstars in the game today were 5 years ago.

It's just incredible how far ahead of the curve Thurston was. Johnson, Reynolds, DCE are fantastic but Thurston is just a cut above (and was at that age).

I tend to agree with you that the talent is very congested. The only player to have broken the mould quite as much is Barba who is yet to stand the test of time - a few years will tell.

I dunno about that. This thread is from 2007. He was already 24 by then, won Dally M halfback of the year and been in two Grand Finals with two clubs. If this thread was from 2004 when he was 21 or so it would be an impressive prediction, when he was only coming off the bench.

Speaking of which, Luke Keary is 21 and coming off the bench. I think he will be a superstar

The only list McInnes will join is the list of dummy halves playing for other teams cause they couldn't get around Issac Luke. I think so far it's

Craig wing
Segeyaro
Beau Falloon
Nathan Peats

The list is going to be quite extensive the rate we seem to be getting good dummy halves

Personally i don't think he will, Luke's contract is up in 2015, the year McInnes stops playing 20's, and i can see him forcing his way into the starting side whether we re-sign Luke or not.

Luke will only be 28 by that time. We will likely resign him for another 2-3 years to finish out his career

Only thing I can see changing that is if Luke decides to play for the Warriors, which he said he wanted to do one day. But he also might want to be a one club player
