Will 2014 be any better?

We need to run with a spine of 1) Tedesco, 6) Moses 7) Brooks 9) Farah and hope for the best all other options are B Grade.

Mate Moses isn't near ready for first grade, either physically or game wise.

Hopefully he can get through next year injury free with a year in 20s and a handful in nsw cup to see how he goes. 2015 will be his year for first grade.

Yep. Moses is the sort of player you don't rush into the side.

he needs to play some NSW cup first.

I saw their school footy coach quoted in the paper as saying in his opinion Moses is considerably better than Brooks. I know he's not ready physically, but it's pretty exciting.

He makes the same stupid mistakes Benji did.

This needs to be coached out of him with slow progression, end of next year or year after maybe blood him as a bench impact player

I've heard this as well. Both of them need some time before we see how good they are.

I'd be inclined to play them both in the halves and see how they go.

Yeah I would much rather see Austin or Anasta as #6. They can both capable at defending whereas Moses would get trampled.

Anasta would be handy to have in the halves. His deep kicking game is very good and if Richards somehow gets injured we will need a goal kicker!

I hope to never see Anasta in FG at the Tigers again. His signing was one of the many blunders of the Sheens/Humphreys era. Hopefully he heads off to Super League. He costs more points than he contributes.

You are probably right however, he is older than Brooks (slightly) remembering Lawrence started at 17, Benji 18. Benji was also not ready for FG and too small.

Probably best he is held back slightly but this myth about NYC, Reggies progression is rubbish some juniors should be thrown straight in.

Send him to the Sharks for the offseason.

After seeing Mosses play this year in the under 20s comp, it will would be insane to throw him into the top grade in 2014.He needs two years in the gym. No doubting he has talent,but he did not dominate the u20 comp like some players have in the past. I will reserve judgement till late 2014 but at this stage although he was a standout schoolboy I think he is a 50/50 bet to make the grade in the NRL

I dunno about you guys, but i thought Blake Austin looked very average today.

I'm not so sure he's going to figure much in the NRL side next year.

He is quite average! As is Anasta, Fulton and any other so called 5/8 we have they are all B Grade. Lets cut the bs the kids must do it otherwise we are bottom 4 .

I think Sironen has to be #6 next year, until Moses is ready for the step up.

There's no two ways about it for me anymore.

Austin, Moltzen and Anasta can fight for a bench utility role

I agree with you about Sironen, but seriously, what impact can Anasta offer off the bench?
There must be other utility options not involving any of those three

There most likely are better options.

My point being that the bench is as close to the NRL side they should get and only one of them should be in contention for that, if a spot is available.

Austin has the potential to improve more than the other two, but really all three at this stage are a waste
