Cowboys pair Heilum Luki and teenage tearaway Kulikefu Finefeuiaki identified as two potential targets.

We already knew about Luki, so nothing new. Kuli too is a back rower. Both edge forwards. Does that mean S'ua will be moved into the middle or will be released at season end.

Offer those juniors way overs for two years with the opportunity of playing first grade now
Conversely, do the same with our own juniors. Why do we want others when we have a plethora of our own that promise plenty. The three lads that played for Aussie 18s Schoolboys should be ready to go in '25/26. Meanwhile for this year try forwards Josh Coric, Jake Webster and Hamish Stewart for starters. Tho not juniors give outside backs Sione Finau and Savelio Tamale their debuts too. Let it happen Flanagan, think outside the box.

our juniors that have potential are all babies like 17-18yr olds.. they have 2yrs minimum to get to a point where we could actually consider them as reliable members of our 17.. the guys like Pezet etc are 21yrs, 20 games of reserve grade, 7 games of NRL... we cant 'skip' those years of development.. we cant just save our club from within.. at the bare minimum we need 1st graders to bridge those years until they come through.

You also need to consider that most of those 17-18yr olds wont actually make regular 1st grade.. even the best like Amone/Sully/Sloane/Coric/Shereb/Feagai(s) really struggled.. and they were the absolute cream.. theres no cheat code.. Couchmans are one of the very few exceptions who we can really shorten that development period... but they are freaks.
