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?

We've had 3 in 2023 and 2024 in NSW I think. Tuivati both years, Sanders, Arthur, Talagi as well. I think Michael Gabreal too?
So yeah, good crop. And the likes of Bloomfield and Fletcher would've had a chance if it wasn't for injury/rugby.
M Gabrael left our club at HM level so he wasnt at eels when he mad the 19 team. From that 2023 SG Ball team, Tuivita, Sanders, Arthur & Guymer made the team. Talagi didnt play because he was in the NRL team. Richie did his ACL at the start of 2024 when he was 19 so last his chance too.
Ah yes forgot Guymer.
Gabreal left us at HM really? I remember hearing so much about him for a while. Ah well.
Yea Gabrael played HM with us in 2022 but in 2023 he played SG ball for the dogs before moving to the sharks.
Bamblett is a gun fullback and will put pressure on Iongi in a few years, this is how these things should work. His path isn't blocked, he is just facing a challenge. He can play first grade on the wing, he will grow into his frame
We have actually quite a lot of fullback prospects coming.
Bamblett, Davis, Martin, Seuseu all look quite good playing there. Risati and Bloomfield have played there too.
Yehaz, now EA could correct me, but now it seems the next crop coming into NRL are primarily forwards, it seems from HM to first year SG ball players our backs could be stronger.
I know we have Bell, Polley and Capovilla, but with the likes of Sorovi, Bloomfield, Seuseu, Martin and the like it seems our backs are slowly starting to get better in lower grades.
Though you know my opinion of a blocked path in NRL. I agree he could very well make his start in the League at Wing or Centre or even Five-Eighth IF he develops enough. Though EA would know more if he could or not.
Though Iongi was in similar position and what happened?
Just noticed
Koina vs talagi
