Rumoured Targets 3

[EdLondon]

Yeah looks like Dom Young. Perhaps a Yorkshire academy jersey.

Looks like Dom Young and I hope it is. 6ft 6, 106kg 18yo centre.

Announcement at 7pm.

Says centre/wing.

I wonder if he's out new damaging winger?

All I could find of him on YouTube. Scores tries at 0:55, 1:56 and 2:45

Impressive but he's also twice the size of anyone else on the field so hard to really gauge.

Dom Young joining on a 3-year top squad deal from 2021 confirmed by Toohey.

Geebus, that video is like if the predator decided to take up footy. Cant wait to see him hit the big time.

Mobile, good footwork and a giant.

Imagine him going up against Maika Sivo. The stadium would shake with the impact. Just for comparison:

Maika Sivo: 186cm, 111kg (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maika_Sivo)
Dom Toretto (sorry I meant Young): 198cm, 106kg.

Sivo has a weight advantage of 5kg but is 26 years of age while Dom is only about to hit 19 and probably has a bit more growing out to do. So give the kid a few years to develop and he will be in Sivo class.

Alternatively in the long term we have a centre pairing of Bradman Beast and Dom Young with Enari Tuala on the wing instead.

KV I think you said recently you wanted some more size out wide. Well boy have you got it now.

I’d throw him on the wing, gives it a Dan Tupou like feel, built like Idris, hopefully this is the version that hits 100% Potential.

On a side note, Imagine this for next year
1. Ponga
2. Lee
3. Best
4. Young
5. Tuala

The pearce Bomb would actually be useful

I prefer Hunt over Lee, feel like he adds abit more in the hit up department but would love to see Toa cement his spot over the next few weeks.
In regards to Dom Young, this is the first I've heard of him but kids his size don't grow on trees and being only 18 it's on us to develop him

i like Hunt as well, but since he has gone down, we seem to be missing something, would make us absolutely deadly on the high ball, but like you said, we all want to see Star take over and cement that spot.

I think that's got more to do with Pearce than Lee, whilst Lee is tall I don't think he's as good under the high ball as he should be

I’ll honestly be Happy to See Toa take the wing spot, which will leave it down to Hunt vs Tuala, and neither deserve to be dropped, which is a good spot to be in for once.

In saying that, it is no certainty this kid is any good.

looks like a man against boys, reminds me of Jamil Idris in body shape and size

he'd certainly get our kick returns off to a good start, give that lad some wind up and he'd take some stopping

Yep, Idris without the man boobs. Interesting fact, he and Bradman Best were born on the same day 9th August 2001

I agree, I prefer Hunt over Lee precisely for the hit up kick return reasons. Lee may be tall but there's nothing to him.

And turns to chase back like he is an 80 year old woman carrying a bag of cement.

I appreciate what Lee can and has done, but Hunt is the better value re workrate/effort.

After watching his efforts tonight it's a big fat no for lazy TPJ

Yeah definitely not a great performance, i expect him to leave and explode somewhere, but it won’t be here, just going to need to develop an actual Second Rower, because Fitzy aint it.

I remember reading that AOB saw Shibasaki as a second-rower long term when we first signed him
