It was so good to see those top kids out there and getting recognition from the club. I feel we are getting a glimpse of the beginning of our production line
The beginning was Guymer, Pryke, Tuivaiti, Sanders, Twidle and Blaize Talagi. 2023 SG Ball premiers. At least we kept three of them.
this is super impressive. Out of 17 players in the GF, 15 have gone on to at least play nsw cup. 7 nrl debuts with others still pushing to get one soon
Sorry I meant under this regime since we have really taken the development club mantra seriously. Especially the kids that EA and I have been writing up over the last couple of years
2023 was only three years ago. Why don't you include that crop?
That 2023 was damn sexy .... Won SG ball and almost backed it up in flegg..
We fucked it after that with them.
Because 2023 the club was pretty different. Yes only 3 years ago but I agree with SB. Its a different time period of sorts.
EA, we've said a lot about the usual suspects for a debut. Who is someone hardly anyone is talking about that you might predict gets a debut in 2027?
Yes SB. The main line begins this year. Talagi was the first, then followed by Koina and the rest. Come 2029, we could see what 4-5 juniors in the 17? Fact Bell at 17/18 is training with top grade speaks volumes.
