What are your thoughts re Makisini been able to competently handle the NRL as soon as the next 12 months ? Too early ?
I'm pretty sure Geoff Starling played for Australia as an 18yo?
The old saying is, if your good enough, you're old enough.
He certainly has some wraps on him.

Good question

It depends alot on a couple of things.

1, how will his body cope with the constant training and playing. All games from now on in for him are of a high standard. High intensity. The opposition will be getting bigger and stronger as the Season goes by. When he finishes SG Ball I would assume he goes straight into Flegg and possibly before the end of the Season he might get a few games for NSW Cup

2, it also depends on how the Tigers are going come mid year. If they are in the hunt for the top 8 he might not get a run. If the Tigers are out of Finals contention with about 3-4 games left in the Season Benji may give him a taste like he did with Laualilii brothers, Jordan Miller etc

3, If their is an injury crisis in the centres, Olam seems cooked, Naden gets hurt a bit as well then he may get some 18th man gigs. Just to show him the preperation needed and the nerves that go with it.

Im old school. To me if your good enough you are old enough
