He is one I am keenly watching next year.
Very strong, has a bit of skill for a big man. A bit of toe too!

Mr Whippy has a bight future ahead of him it seems.

 

[Vicpanther]

so with the loss of burton and possibly may who takes cleary and luia spots during origin?

 

[Big Bill]

Riley Smith is small. Has some work to do on his defence.

Nathan Cleary came of the bench as a dummy half when I first watched him in Matt’s so anything is possible. He was scrawny to say the least, the rest is history. I wouldn't have picked it. I didn’t see

Brandy's son plays 9 but very small be interesting how he goes against the big guys.

Sau is training with NSW Cup but will drop back. Lawson is a centre too and looks pretty good

Is Sau the FB who came from Parra last season ? The Purus and Connor Mason could drop back as well.

in Nathan in Harold Matt’s but I guess that suggests I know nothing. Talent spotting is obviously not my strongpoint.

I thought the same about Nathan .as well .

Hi Blade made me sit up and take notice when you talk up a player but if he's any good why have souths and Canberra let him go.

Falls and Salmon unless we sign someone

Don't adjust your TV if he appears to be in slow motion

So who makes the big time on name only?

Gordon Whippy is a shoe in. I'd have a hard time leaving him out of the 17.

Pretty sure this is him for anyone interested.

Most of his last 2 years have been wrecked by injuries and Covid shutdowns. Canberra had a very high opinion of him. My understanding is he wanted to get back to Sydney and he played out the rest of his contract at Souths.
I am very keen to see him in our systems.

How old, and which position does he play?

20 and prop. Though, he could play on an edge.

The kid I am keen to watch is Delahia Wigmore from Cairns. Another interesting signing is Simon Tito a centre from Manly SG ball team from last year. Simon comes from the Parramatta juniors.

I’ve never talked him up, did watch him in NSW Cup on a handful of occasions this season before Covid ended the season.

He has some decent attributes, i agree he is not overly quick, but is a useful backup, I don’t think we could pick up anyone else, better on the same sort of money.

I am with you Kilkenny. My last 3 Juniors who I thought would play for Australia (from when they were lads) were Bryce, Rennings and Ollie Clark. Struck out with all 3.

We have some really talented kids in our junior systems by all accounts. The last two interrupted seasons have been difficult, but difficult for all clubs. I think there are many youngsters in our ranks who have the potential to play NRL so lots to look forward too in the next season or two, maybe a changing of the guard.

2022 playing and supporter kit just landed.

No real difference except one sponsor.

Tbf with Bryce there was a 2 year period where he looked like a certainty at rep level.

It's crazy how much people talk about his speed negatively in reference to him in the halves. As if you have to be a speed demon to a do a job at five eight. All you need is the speed to cover in defence and anything else is just a bonus. To an extent it's a bit more fair in reference to him at centre but that wouldn't be his preferred position anyway.
