Someone like Ham would be better answering this question. It is hard to answer not knowing who will be moved on and what fringe players we sign, but I suspect the following could make their debuts:
- Alex Twal is the obvious young u20's player. He has been very solid with Wenty this year when he played up. Just needs a few more Kgs to make the leap. If you have never seen him play he is a smaller version of Mannah in appearance and ability.
- Jamal Fogarty. Has had plenty of blogs lately. As he can goal kick and play right half I suspect he will play in the NRL at some stage. Not sure if he has signed a second tier contract.
- Honeti Tuha. Not sure if he has resigned but he has been in good form for Wenty and can play wing or fullback.
Add on top of this I will add Jack Morris and Tom Amone to become strong performers in Wenty if they are retained. Not sure how close they'll go to first grade next year but they could have similar career projections as Alvaro and Terepo debuting a few years after their NYC careers have finished. I also expect to see Dane Auckafolau to have a couple of games in Wenty. These 3 along with Doolan and Dargan will probably spend a few sessions with the first grade squad over the off-season.
Kim thats a very kind offer, Wendy will be stoked.
How do you feel about Hayne now, brother Eel? Friendly stir, but love to know your thoughts about him now?
I'm assuming you are referring to Ham and not me E. Personally I'm devastated we lost Hayne. I would have offered Hayne 1 million on the cap, maybe 1.1 million. We need attacking flair as we have a good defensive team when we are at full strength. Hayne could have taken us from bottom 4 attack to top 4 in attack.
I just noticed on nswrl.com.au that Honeti has scored 16 tries this year so he may be a chance to make his debut. The several times I've seen Auckafolau play he impressed me, tall rangy centre and could fill out like Taka. Amone has also impressed me and has good punch and balance at the line. Last year BA let go a number of talented u20/first year Wenty players so I'm not too sure how many will be kept for next year.
