Love the Bunnies being under the cap with GI, Sam Burgess, George Burgess, John Sutton, Isaac Luke and Adam Reynolds would be easily worth $4 million between them.

I'd love to renew my membership but I kinda need the membership pack to do so...

Sione is the future, has dominated every age group since he was 14-15 years of age and has made pretty much every junior rep team, apparently did quite well in NYC this year despite being only 17 and playing against guys up to 4 years older. Pat has potential but has had a horror run with injuries last 2 years, Sione had a decent year in NSW cup and is a decent hard running type winger in the Jorge Taufua mould, with Kev, Pete Mata'utia, and Likiliki leaving we need some depth in the backs

Is it any coincedence when the NRL continually plays boys against men, that they have horror injury runs?

I don't understand what you're getting at

Shoring up our depth. Surely we'll get a star out of one of these Mata'utias.

I agree, there has been talk of the matautia's on this forum for the best part of 5 years. All I can say about them at this stage is that they are overhyped. I hope at least one of them proves me wrong

Chanel was never that hyped. Pete certainly was and whilst he didn't deliver, he never really got much of a chance to, stuck behind Gidley, Wes and then Boyd at fullback and McManus, Kev, Vuna and Uate on the flanks.

Sione will be a star. I've seen him play against kids two years older than him and look like the biggest bloke on the field.

He was playing against guys up to 4 years older in NYC this year and didn't look out of place one bit.

As long as he has more to his game than being the biggest bloke on the field. I've lost count of the number of times I've heard a player described as the 'next big thing' while coming through the NYC, only to be completely dominated when playing grown men in the NRL or even at NSW Cup level.

That when you put in teenagers with undeveloped bodies against full grown athletes they will get injured lots AKA SBW & Marshall.

What's that got to do with our boys?

Spot on here old mate

Tonga Likiliki came to us as being the next big thing out of the NYC and we all know where his career is at right now. Same with Beau Henry

No one really knows how a kid is going to handle playing against seasoned men until they are actually out there doing it

The fact Chanel is 17 and playing against 20 year olds and is continually getting injured?

Chanel is 21-22. Sione is 17 and played NYC after the Ball season finished and didn't get injured, Pat has had 2 injury riddled years but he's playing against guys his age

I love facts. Especially when they're not facts

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Oooops.

 

[rnb11]

sione has been tipped as the best of them for yrs. pat not far behind but he keeps getting injured. still a special talent tho and will dominate next yr in the nsw cup if he stays fit. he clydsdale and tapine are on another level in nyc.

its no surprise we are planning to let sione skip 2 yrs of nyc and be our starting nsw cup fullback.

I see Baptiste is off contract at the Broncos. Anyone else we could do with ? Frei is still unsigned by the Knights , I thought he had huge wraps, Rodney Mason ? not good enough ? Gower will probably retire , Stig ? has he not recovered from his eye injury ? do we actually need him anymore ?

Considering our NSW Cup halves, I think Stig is worth keeping to pair with Dobson. Saw massive potential in him a few years back.
