Andrew Fifita is a gun!

How is his brother David comming along?

I don't think David Fifita will play first grade with us, may get a run at another side though.

I'm very happy with the forwards we have coming through.

Fifita has really come along since last year and his attitude, work-rate and defense have improved immensely this year. He is explosive but has now added another dimension to his game.

Aaron Woods has been great too, I know that Ricky Stuart wanted him at the Sharks a few years ago and threw alot of coin at him. He was also in the emerging NSW squad last year.

Groat played 6 minutes yesterday, but considering he is 19 he is f**king huge! Looks like another good prospect.

There is also massive wraps on Ben Murdoch-Masila who actually debuted in the Roosters semi last season. He is huge and has a great offload. Still coming back from injury so he is not at full fitness yet but he is very highly regarded by the club also.

Still think signing Blair would improve our pack, and would only be a positive. Add Heighington, Ellis, Dwyer, Galloway and Gibbs to that and it looks a very impressive pack.

Thank goodness for these young guys too. I am sick of stiffling laughter when Tigers talk about their pack over the last 4-5 years.

Roosters v Tigers

8. Kennedy v Woods

10. Hargreaves v Murdoch-Masila

11. Symonds v Dwyer

16. Masoe v Fifita

17. Tasi v Grout

A good set of young bulls.

Like the looks of the Tigers in this match up. In my opinion Woods, Fifita, Dwyer (all NSW) and Murdoch-Masila (kiwi) will all play rep football within 2 years.

Add Galloway, Farah, Heingington and Ellis to these young guns and the Tigers will have one of the best packs for the next 3-5 years.

The tigers 20's also has another very promosing prop in Neil Begovich and a lively hooker in Pat Politoni coming through. I just wished we had as many good young outside backs/fullbacks as well.

They should be one hell of a outfit in a few years, but every year clubs are churning out massive athletes and of course their are injuries and the salary cap. The good thing the tigers even have a few more good ones coming through the system just behind them.

A few years ago they had one frontrower in the club,Skando, now they have them in spades and as Gus said theirs only one thing better than four quality frontrowers at your club and thats having 5
