With the loss of Kenny Edwards for most, if not all of the 2015 season Josh Aloiai is a kid who could be the surprise player of the season, he's already making his mark playing for Wenty and starting. He's a tough as nails kid and would be a better Lock than Paulo and even Nelson And a huge loss for U20's mid last season, proving an important part of that team

this will give more time for Moeroa, Wicks, Gower and Pauli Pauli.Throw in Watmough, Mannah, Mau, junior Paulo and crabman and we have a pretty full forward pack
I certainly think that in the near future we could be able to bring in Aloiai into the first grade team. He hits hard and runs harder, certainly one to watch out for this year and could easily nab a bench spot in 2016.
I wouldnt say he'lllbe a direct replacement but edwards being out definately wont hurt his chances to eventually make the 17
He'll be 21 next year and I think he'll be playing close to a full year of NSW cup this year. Age is certainly not a factor when it comes to kids like Aloiai, plus coming off the bench he'll only be playing an average of 30-40 minutes for the first year, possibly 2.
I reckon he and Moeroa could be our long-term edge forwards.
Is Edwards out for the rest of season, first I have heard of it. Is his knee that bad?
From what I heard its a torn ACL and requires surgery, I could be wrong
That's one I didn't think of Electric eel, and a good one.
The reason why so many of us believe we are still a mid table prospect at best is the inability of our halves to control matches.
