Looks like bamblett has been called in to the blues side at 18 man with Rex falling out and possibly will be named to start come game day. We now have 4 players in the squads in Bamblett, Petrus, Ryda and Koina. Is this our best rookie class in a while?

That's the thing. If he wants to play NRL for Parra it will be through 6. Thing is too is in NRL not many teams looking for a 1 either. If they have a great 1 they snap them up.
Papalii will get snapped up soon I think, if he elects to stay on a club friendly deal as a loyal servant in expression and passion for the club then that'd be great but I definitely see a home for Bamblett as our back up full back in the next couple years.
He is a much better long term prospect than the others and Seuseu will find a position in the backline.
Lorenzo is our future 6 not Bamblett.
I am not confident that Papalii wil get snapped up that easily. I think the bench spot is his future in the NRL for now. Can't see him being the first choice fullback for an NRL club right now with the amount of talent in that position. If he wants to be a first choice fullback I think his only option is Super League.
What if another club want to start. His path is, dear I say it around you, blocked as a Fullback. As a back-up he is fine but if a club is willing to give him a start he would take it.
I think Lorenzo is seen as an option but if someone like Bamblett puts their hand up, I don't think they ship him off anyway as Lorenzo is the one.
I believe we just have to build the next man up mentality up .Keep developing gun juniors because you never know when you may need one to replace an existing star. If they get poached then so be it, as long as the NRL team has a current star in that position (s). So for Bamblett I would develop him as a 1. There are plenty of gun halves we could poach from other teams if Lorenzo doesnt work count.
Yeah interesting and fair.
You might as well add Bloomfield. He was selected on the wing however his school withdrew him from origin to focus on union which sucks. At least next year that won't be an issue as he will finish up with school. Just hope he picks league over union.
Fingers crossed he see's his future in blue and gold! Sounds a real wing prospect from all reports.
I said in my post that Fletcher might have had a chance, considering he was an aussie schoolboy. Do you think he would've been a 14 or even a half for this NSW team?
maybe 14/18th man maybe even the 7 if he guided eels to win the SG ball comp.
Speaking of halves, I was so pissed off when they didnt select Lorenzo in the team last year. They picked Rodwell, Woods and Harrison. Lorenzo, Walsh and Reed couldn't make the team.
