Not sure who watches lower grades or not but Lorenzo was dominant today again in flegg.
seriously impressive for a SG ball player to be this influential in Flegg.
He needs to be fast tracked to Cup sometime this year but he has more than answered any questions of him at this level.
The fight for the 6 jersey in the preseason will be massive

Sonic and EA, do either of you think he will be ready to step up to reserve grade this season?.
Prior to his past few weeks in flegg I would have been doubtful but after seeing him handle flegg so easily I would definitely say he could handle it.
whether or not the club want to push him so quickly is another matter.
All I can say is he is standing out in Flegg
Yep I think the big thing is whether the club want to rush him. I think them pursuing Sandon Smith is perhaps a sign they don't want to rush him. But who knows what happens over time
Ryles today said they were taking their time to sign a 6. Plus the talk of seeing Papali'i at 6 too, i think there could be a chance of getting Talataina onto the bench of Cup at least.
I was slightly surprised that Ryles mentioned that Joash is a fullback and plays in the halves. Sorta makes me feel he made a point of saying it.
Ryles has done that a bit. As to why i have mentioned i feel he wants another Hooker as he is not commited to Ryley long term it seems based on "We'll see" when questioned.
He is quite a straight shooter when it comes to declaring things. I think that can be a good quality as if he like that with media he will be with players and players, not all but most, prefer that honesty clear standing of where they are.
But Joash was brought here mainly to be a competitor to Iongi but also a premier back-up as we haven't had that in a while. Plus, Lorenzo maybe caught the eye of the staff thinking he could be a nice option.
Yep I think the 14 spot is where he should get a few chances and when Moses is in origin.
Yep reserve grade for sure. His strength. His tempo today when playing first receiver on shape in incredible (like Katoa). Pass selection and running game strong. Defence strong too.
Couple weeks this year in cup at some point will be great. Perhaps around origin 3 time when Moses is out and Hawkins is in NRL. than end the season again in Flegg to hopefully win the comp. Will put him in good place for a big nrl preseason and perhaps win Browns vacant spot.
Well Matt Hunter and Twidle have been brought in the past when Hawkins or Volkman are absent, Talataina should be the next cap off the rank. The fact he has gone so well so fast is a testament to how good this kid is. Hell you could play him tomorrow and the kid will adapt as well as he could.
No rush FG isn't going anywhere.
I'djust be bringing him through the pathway system and if they think he's something lock him up now.
I don't know how Melbourne do it but they just don't lose any youngster whose worth a damn neither should we.If this young guy is as portrayed lock him up now don't let anyone get a sniff of him.
