These the ones that stand out to me, I don't really follow nsw cup closely so can't comment on those ones. Guymer just too slow for first grade so he can go tbh. Prob a few in nsw cup who are definitely keepers I just don't follow them closely
They stand out do they. I'm not sure how your measuring "stand out" most would be lucky to play for a top 8 team. A couple may make it in first grade and 1 will for sure but not many more then that.
I mean just players I'd at least keep. Rest can go lol. These guys pretty young and can sort of build up. Need to surround them with quality nrl players if that's even possible
Something about Kautoga I think he's worth keeping around. But yes need to clean those errors up. Do like that he's threatening every carry. Defense needs a little work but he's young as. Moretti I like the leg speed and effort.
I love Kautoga, he needs a 6 and centre to unlock his potential. He runs good lines and offloads at the right time, clean up his errors and mishaps in defence he can become very very good footballer. Put him in penrith or roosters he'll be the biggest threat on the park, our attack needs to feed him the ball as much as we can in that redzone. Kelma on the other hand he's had his shot and never really shined there was a few games but i think his errors and defence is what stops him from going to the next level. Kelma is and NRL first grader but his errors let him down, with Kautoga he has something special there that needs to be unlocked i just know he can be an elite player.
Tuivaiti and Brown look like long term front row propositions for me they just need to get more scars and time understanding what it takes to be a week in week out FG front rower.
TDS to he's in the same as the above mentioned.The 3 also need that right voice and consistency the worst thing now we can throw at them is yet another coaching change.We need to stick with these guys up front.
Kautoga I think is the type of athlete we want playing on the edge and I see a genuine player there.Again as above we need to get consistency around him like @Eli Stephens mentions combinations are everything.
Iongi goes without saying he's a 10 yr player.A long term spine member we have in this guy.
All the rest on the list are depth players imo. I don't think there starters short of injury and lack of recruitment success.

Like I think even a Nikorima next to Kautoga would unlock him dramatically. Just a smart 5/8 who can read the game. There definitely is something there with Kautoga

Samrani could possibly be a good edge backrower but that would require the club buying some outside backs 🤣 he seems to be a heads up type of player
"Did the warriors get ripped on more than a few calls?, yes they did but they only have themselves to blame for the loss. They totally dominated the first have but only managed to score 6 points, they should have scored at least 18. The warriors…"
"It's the off season and his manager is amping it up no doubt as he knows from past contracts that we will buckle! And that there is little else on market unless you look at Reggie's / Massey etc. "
"In answer to your questions - some very questionable calls. The ref again is the same ref who's at times made some strange calls but the bunker has been a disaster. PVL allowed Klein to ref following his issues with gambling and yet nothing to see…"

Kautoga is on his way to becoming Tuilagi 2.0 with his errors
Joash and Volkman are backups. Moretti is a solid benchie at best
The rest have potential to be good

I also do wonder what a good 5/8 and centre with Kautoga would look like. We may never know 🤣
