After watching the Panthers training video, I hope we give John Faiumu a crack. He is nearly 30 and been around the traps for a while, but I have watched him over the last couple of years and he is a big body with some good ball skills.

Maybe just a different body size that could work. And he can kick goals as well..👍
I think if he was that great, he would have made his debut by now.

Defence isn't up to it. Got good foot work when he's stepping but when he's moving in defence his lateral movement get shown up relatively easily.

Like Kikau but to a far greater extent.

I think we have better options internally
He has been with Penrith in NSW Cup for the last three years. He was the only NSW Cup contracted player who played in the State Championship game I believe. He deserves a chance to show his skills in the first trial at least.

Again though

We have Mav on a development deal
Lisati, Henry

Hassett was SG Ball player of the year. Origin u19's man of the match.

Is he better than any of them?

Disagree. If he was good a debut would have happened by now.

Maybe not, but at least he has be playing against men in the NSW Cup. Not many can make the jump straight to the top grade.

I’m hoping Mav puts in and has a killer preseason and gives himself a shot of making his first grade debut this season.

Does anyone know from what round development players can be selected for first grade for the 2023 season?

That is the weakness in the side. Lack of x factor him or Lisati getting a good run with injury has the potential to change the side.

Round 11 unless injuries hit

This season is a season where both Geyer and Lisati have to show they have NRL potential. Not saying they play NRL but demonstrate in NSW Cup they are capable of making the step up.

Others are ahead of him but Mav is going well at training.

Lisati has been guaranteed a spot in the top 30 next season. He might get a taste later in the year. Depending on how things are going.
