2023 Mackay State High backrower Nehemiah Wuatai-Davis has signed a two year deal with WT, per Dynasty Management Group.

Wuatai-Davis was set to be in the Mackay Cutters u19s side this year.

Appears he will link up with the Balmain SG Ball squad.

It’s so great to see Onitoni Large (right) already around NRL preseason. Only turns 17 this year, but for me, the most talented player in pathways. Does everything well on both sides of the ball and an insane athlete.

We had similar talk last season about Bula, things are definitely looking up.
Hopefully we can keep the real good ones.

I didn't know this. Shannon was a cracking little player and underestimated imo.

Good to hear mate.

It’s only because, we are where all the action is hahaha

Apparently Will Craig tore up in the Koori Carnival today, playing for Combined Countries. Will be in SBS tomorrow. Very promising wing/centre doing a pre season with NRL squad.

Good young talent this kid. Defencively sound and can make a line break but 1 major gripe i have about him and i noticed it a couple of years ago is that when he is at centre he never never passes to his winger. 2 on 1 close to the line he will go himself. In his own half if there is a sniff his winger could make yards on the outside, he will just take the tackle.

Only positive with that is Wests save a little bit of cash on their hot water bill as his outside winger never needs a shower

I found an article, which I posted on here earlier today about Onitoni Large, have you come across him, got ant any thoughts, they gave him a huge rap.
Got a feeling either yourself or @Vic Mackey may have mentioned him last year, but at my age, remembering yesterday is a struggle hahaha

NBWT:
WT have 3 of the best 5/8s in underage rugby league in Latu Fainu (18), Lachlan Galvin (18) & Onitoni Large (16). All believe they’re 5/8’s.

1 is NSW 19s a year early
1 is Peter Sterling Medallist
1 is 16s Aus Rugby captain & best player at 15s Schoolboys RL in 22

Probably won’t keep them all, So who would you keep?

Personally i do not know to much about Fainu but i know wests chased him hard so he will be kept.

Galvin will be kept. Not a future superstar but going to be a very solid player. I liken him to Gavin Cooper, tall, can ball play and will probably end up an edge back rower.

I think Onitoni wont be kept. I think Union will get him

Yeah he is a good one. Very promising. Massive kid.
But he is still playing Union every weekend as well which is concerning because that means he hasnt made a commitment yet.

Shit, I thought he had signed, Rugby will want a win, we will have to go hard for him then, if he's worth it?

Im just thinking what the Scott Fulton departure will do in terms of the young kids at the club.
He was in the job less than a year so he has no idea about the talent the club is sitting on.

Time will tell i guess

I thought Scott was going to be good for us, but I can't complain as to what's happened so far since Benji and the Richo have been in the job.
I think the young blokes will like Benji as he will speak to them in there language, if you understand what I mean.
And Richo's plans should be nothing but encouragement to them, with what he is saying.
Seriously, looking on the up already, just gotta win a few games now.

Your 100% right about Benjis communication skills
