Mamo showed some signs to prove what I said about him being the best back we've seen in a long time, everyone has been excited about him for a few years now and he's still only 19. In the air he's easily one of the best in the NYC and one of the biggest try scorers, he's lightning and tough as any first grader. I think he showed all those attributes tonight.
Tapine lived up to his expectations too, he's been the go to go since joining the club, always finds a hole and always works his ass off for his teammates, these 2 kids will debut by mid-year without a doubt.
Sione has been a star all through the grades, making and captaining all the junior reps sides, hard to believe he's only 16-17 but he's been playing up in grades for years now, before we got Minto he was being primed to skip the NYC and go straight into fullback for NSW Cup, he had a nice first quarter, packed with power and skill.
But doesn't Minto look good, been training at fullback all pre-season, going out to that right edge is exactly what he's been practicing and he pulled off 2 try assists from it and a try himself. Great game by everyone even though it was against not the best team. Wasn't impressed with Vaivai gotta say.
