Watching parramatta play the dogs in canterbury cup . Whilst we led easily at half time I am yet to see the hype with Stefano , kafusi in particular . They are not in the same league as Fifita, Haas and other young guys . Looking at this team , Davey runs nice lines and even Alvaro Is making an impact at this level . Field is excellent at this level whilst Stone tries hard , I wouldn't be backing Salmon to make it back into nrl any time soon.
i can't see the next big thing in this grade . Love to be proven wrong.

Yep totally agree, been impressed with dunster and field, I can't believe the way the commentators are acting over Stefano yes he is big but he hasn't shown much at all and mostly lazy plays but Kaufusi has been ok. Gower has been all class and Alvaro and stone have tried hard. Jennings has also looked good so I can see why ba brings him but totally different level. Smith is all over the shop 2 good things then error even at this level
Overall good win (pity we missed the last 20 on tv)
We can probably cover 3 or so injuries in non spine positions. I could see Alvaro, Gower, Dunster, Stone coming in and doing a job, not to mention taka coming in from the bench if required in the centres. But, like a lot of sides if our spine players go down it's probably season over.
How many 'next big things' do you expect to have at a club? One of our NRL halves is still eligible for Jersey Flegg, our hooker isn't yet 22, and we finished top five last year. We're doing ok for junior talent.
Every club should have a few coming through, thats what makes up the next generation.
Each team has a few big guns in their NRL team, each club should have a few junior prospects that will be those guns of the future.
Hi Poupou
Observation is my own. Stefano is overated and I wont be crying too hard that he leaves us in in 2021. When you see young guys with big booms on them at other clubs they tend to go on with it as a general rule. Not getting into a shit fight with you over player talent and identification. Cheers
I also think he's overrated. It doesn't mean we don't have our share of junior talent at the club.
Where dose Jia Field play, what position.
5-8
Stefano is not fg material from whatI have seen of him, most over rated junior and should of been let go early. Thought Kafusi played well in the trial and should be on the bench in stead of Terepo who has had plenty of oppertunities and should of been shown the door before now. Alvaro can fill in as is a worker but average forward but every team needs workers. Stone is another worker and would fill a gap when needed, Davey not sure about. Field, Salmon and Perry not up to scratch and need to go. Over all if we have injuries in certain position we will struggle. Depth not as good as first thought.
Did we win n what was the score please
