New young player

It's behind a News Corp paywall, but can anyone see who this young stud we've signed from the Cowboys system. He played at Kirwan High & the Blackhawks. Apparently one of the most highly prized kids in the country.

    • What a poorly written article, says third from the left then says R to L and has him first player to the left of the middle guy and it is not him at all.

      But anyway, always good to get players with talent, NQ have produced wonderful juniors of late.

      • Haha... I did the same LB... didn't know who it was until I scrolled down then saw a pic just of him.

        • I understand in that 3 from the left, but not how we are looking at the picture. 3 from the left of the guy on the end, the reader it should be 3 from the right.

          Just poor editing, doesn't even mention his position either.

  • Impressive kid. Hope he makes it in the big city.

    How about a couple of backs?

  • His name is Elijah-Shane Tapau on most sites, made under 18's QLD emerging team and played in the final of the Mal Meninga cup.

  • So there's this guy and the young bloke from Brisbane. Anyone know how he is going?

  • Not gonna lie, that article almost seemed to be taking the piss with all the "elite" talk.

  • Why do the Eels recruitment keep buying younger players in positions that currently aren't the most important? They need to recruit wingers and centres and a quality back up half in my opinion 

    • I agree we need backs more than anything but maybe they are looking at life after what we have. Cartwright, Lane, and Matterson aren't getting any younger. Mataele hasn't come good yet and we have Doorey and Murchie who aren't getting picked.

      Isn't Moretti a 2nd Rower also? He's going gang busters.
