I'd be very surprised. Take your pick between Robson and Dargan as a bolter IMO.
You'd think they would go with some merkin with a kicking game, but earlier in the year they opted to opt for options already in the 17 rather than bring in a specialist half.

That was when Robson was injured if I recall correctly. That said, we have Moses now and BA could see Takairangi inside Auva'a the most viable if it were to happen.

Yeah, in today's 17 were four players still eligible for SG Ball, and only eight 20 year olds. So nine of them can play under 20s again next year, though no merkin seems to know what format the comp will take.

And Dylan Brown is available for SG ball again next year as he's only just turned 17 a couple of months ago. But given his 2 performances in the 20's, small sample size I know, I can't see him dropping back.

He's just so comfortable in both attack and defence.

It's a weird setup when players will play Under 16's and 18's for Parramatta, then 20's and Reserve Grade for Wentworthville, then First Grade for Parramatta and all realistically still representing the same club.

I wonder if they will eventually change the format for the 16's and 18's to closer align with the QRL setup.

I thought they specified it as four players from Cabramatta?

Bit of a difference between the two because as far as I know nearly all our core talent in the Harold Matthews and SG Ball (or Ball eligible talent playing NYC) is under lock and key for a while.

That didn't stop them signing Curran...
