  • B Simonsson
  • S Tuivita
  • J Hopgood
  • C Guymer
  • S Pryke
  • M Doorey
  • R Talagi

  • A Nanva
  • T Lokeni
  • Z Visconti
  • J Koina
  • C Petrus
  • L Fletcher
  • L Talataina
  • W Latu (rehab)
  • W Penisini (rehab)
  • I Iongi (rehab)
  • T Risati
  • C Bamblett
  • S Nunn
  • C Bloomfield
  • M Nauer
  • M Popo
  • S Polley

I would have added T Beattie, J Trey-Stewart and S Sorovi if possible but I am just happy with the number of juniors there alredy to be honest.

    • The beginning was Guymer, Pryke, Tuivaiti, Sanders, Twidle and Blaize Talagi. 2023 SG Ball premiers. At least we kept three of them.

        1. Twiddle (Perth)
        2. Alamadine (cup/lebabon)
        3. Richie (cup/dev broncos)
        4. Talagi (panthers)
        5. Vaiveia (cup)
        6. Lynn (QLD cup GF 2026)
        7. Sanders (Raiders)
        8. Tuivita (Eels)
        9. Arthur (knights)
        10. Fualema (Perth cup team 2025)
        11. Guymer (Eels)
        12. De Stradis (qld cup GF 2026)
        13. Pryke (eels)
        14. Piakula (manly nsw cup)
        15. W Lewis (qld cup)

        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?

    • 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.
