Trbojevic and Junior Paulo look likely as well if they keep improving...

I hope so given the Raiders are almost certainly getting Junior Paulo. But yeah he and that Trbojevic kid looks great.
Kane Evans too as mentioned above.

The NRL has got a really exciting group of young skillful forwards right now.

In the NYC Evans always looked more impressive than Napa, I was suprised Napa hit first grade earlier and with much more impact than Evans. I still think Evans will be the better all round player based off last year.

Hoping he comes home to Leichhardt one day.
Evans had some defensive issues, as well as an injury he picked up in 2013 I think? Also had something to do with a second tier contract that saw Napa make his debut over him.

Let's hope there are more breakouts than breakdowns, if Evans stays healthy in the new year of more minutes for forwards he certainly will be worth watching

Tigers have a few but one player is primed and I reflects this thread perfectly.

Curtis Sironen is player who has potential to be a high quality player and shown glimpses of class.

Hopefully players like this (Cartwright) will start to have more of a presence in the game and less of the Evans'. A player who is not only big and tough, runs a good line but possesses plenty of skill.

Had a few injures and he is hampered in a team like the tigers who need a couple of more hard heads

Cartwright needs to get the balance of using his skill and still doing the hard work in yardage and defence before he'll really start to blossom.

He's a rare talent who's going to take some time to mature into the player I think everyone knows he can be. I can't see it just happening for him over the course of one pre-season, I reckon he's still a couple seasons off.

Warriors NEED Johnson to break out with some consistency.

Also expecting bigger things from Austin with the solid combination of him and Sezar.

From my club, I'd love to see Tyson Frizzell go large.

brooks and moses. a lot of experience and maturity should seem them develop a more consistent combination

They both kind of broke out last year but I'm expecting huge things from the Trbojevic boys I expect Jake to sneak into the end of year Kangaroos squad and Tom to at least play city country
