Not sure if it was in the paper or an internet article, but it did mention Cole will go head to head with Talagi for the 6. Cleary mentioned he didn’t want to make any bold decisions.Read into that what you want.

I think its a 3 way race between, cole, talagi and laurie.

Daine will 100% know what ivan needs from him to get a shot in fg in the 6.

I really do think he could be a smokey this year..maybe not to start in the 6 but i think if he gets an opportunity he will impress as long as he can sort out his defence.

I just didnt see enough from schnieder last year to suggest hes anything more then a back up 7 for when naths out.

Imo both cogger and sos looked much better then him when filling in.

Theres been a lot made by some of talagis defence.. all ill say is it is very very rare for an 18/19 yo coming into grade to have elite defence in the nrl.

Muga has carried on way to much and basically black listed the kid.

Whether he starts i dont know but i think hes definitely got the most potential which is exciting.

People can be mad for whatever reasom but these are the exact kimd of signings the club should always look to bring in.

We are a development club. No need for 1mil signings.

Bring in kids with hige potential(16-19yo) to fill holes and gaps where juniors are and mould them.

He seems to be all the talk of preseason. Him and cole.

The real talk should be...

Will leota step up without fish...
How do lindsay and henry progress this year...
Can martin turn into a big game player every week, bot just origin and finals...
Can tago go to another level this year...
Will papali find another level at a good club..

Everyone demanding so much of the rookies but for me its the big guns that need to step up next season.

Because we have rookies in most positions across the park.

Even more so as the handful of senior guys will miss games across the year

I haven't black listed him, just saying I don't believe the hype on this kid, from what I've seen, and knowing, Ivan won't put laurie in anywhere in the starting 13 coz of his defence, so what chance has turnstyle talagi, he has the year to prove me wrong, and he doesn't need to rush given he is 19yrs old, I'm just pointing out his extremely bad defensive decisions will cost us if he is our six, a few off seasons and I'll be happy to see him grow and be a better player, but in no way is he capable to be our starting five eighth not this year, so why the hype on him? Why is he a straight swap on luai, on all these predicted rosters, surely a fit cole is ahead of him
