I am starting to gett the impression Hollis isn't going to make it.
Nobody outside our club has even heard of him. Like Mark Nicholls or Matt Eisenhuth at the same age, or any number of young forwards. Jordan Grant was in our system and he's currently in Melbourne's top thirty, off contract next year aged 29. He's played two NRL games in his life. Hollis could at least have that level of career, if he wanted it. If he never plays first grade for us it means we didn't need him. That's a good thing.

Sure but he was talked up within the club. I know when we lost Stefano a few mentioned his name along with Hughes as being as good or better prospects.

Gutherson is solid. But I can not think of a game where we needed something extra to win and he stood up. Same goes for Moses. Down by 4 with 15 to go lets say. Can you recall a big moment where they just did something gspecial to win it?
Do you know how hard it is to ski uphill merkin??!! It ain't easy and it's not for everyone....

Well we do have three teenagers in our top thirty. That seems to be pretty high. But the junior rep teams have crashed since their peak in 2017. After that we got new leadership with a focus on governance and financial viability. Looks like only the clubs that can afford quality junior recruitment systems can have one. Covid-19 hurt the PLC and we don't really have any other source of revenue. Who the f**k is Aland?
No one gives a f**k about Pymble Ladies College!

No it was Kaufusi he was compared to, who is only a year older and playing for a better team. Also recruited by a stronger club than Utoikamanu's for next year.

Give it a break....fmd

Why should I? The more I think about it the more it irritates me.

I wonder if the coach has told ja he’s too big for the halves like he did matterson? Almost 190 cm and still growing, I think his body will work against him.

BA and the club decided makatoa was a better option due to being older and a more body hardended option.

Hollis missed 2 years of devolopment due to covid. Unfortunately it seems he won't make it now.
