Yes

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I think the NSW cup pack gives fair indication why the club appears to be fairly conservative in recruitment.....

The difference seems to be teams like the Roosters had JWH , Lindsay Collins, Angus Crichton and Victor Radley to lead the way and be uncompromising , completely different at the Eels unless they can find some grunt to sign to lead the way for those coming through.

Not quite , but when they will provide on field guidance, guess not any time soon.

Leti Samueli as well against his former team

 

[Capefish]

I like the look of the Warriors number 3, maybe we can convince him over

Nanva or RPensini?
Who do people see as the bigger potential?
I like Nanva. He is big, strong and fast. Its hard when watch live at NSW cup grounds to get a great view.

to be honest I don't think either is going to reach any great heights but I would be interested to see how Nanva develops if he's given NRL off season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Some NRL outside backs debuted at age 21 or even later, but the best ones were all playing NRL younger than Nanva is now.

I think they have both great builds for modern day centres... just don't think either have really been stand-outs coming through the grades.

Agree here
Herbie debut at 19 he is a superstar of the game.
Toia debut this year at 20 probably would have been earlier if not for injury.

Semi debuted at 21, I'd say he's amongst the best.

He was late to rugby league though, not starting until his final year of under 20s.

doesn't mean it didn't happen

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But it does mean he’s an outlier. His situation doesn’t apply to guys like Araz Nanva, who has been playing rugby league since at least 2020, when he ran around in St George’s Harold Matts team as a 16 year old.
