Witzer Pre-Season Challenge.

How did Large and Walsh look ? Both tipped for huge futures. Hugo Hart is another I have been hearing about

The Sea Eagles had impressive performers all across the park. Halves Joey Walsh and Onitoni Large provided plenty of spark and class, while Simione Laiafi was a powerhouse with 181m from 17 strong carries in the middle. Corey Waddell was tireless with 197m from 25 runs in addition to 34 tackles, while on the wing Blake Wilson impressed on club debut with a try, try assist , two line breaks and 175m from 14 runs.

Laiafi stood out when he was on. Good size for a front rower, on a par with Tof, maybe not as filled out yet?

Honestly Walsh is ready to go now. Reckon Fogarty as a halves partner for him would be way better then DCE. Fogarty can do the boring stuff and walsh can go off the cuff for his first few seasons before he takes over the team.

Large had some good touches too. Brooks is in danger tbh.
