I actually think Sitili Tupouniua & Toby Rudolf are realistic.
Sili especially if the iPap move to lock is a success to sure up our senior backrow stocks.
Rudolf given Sharks will have too many middles next year with AFB coming & he would relieve cap space. He is also managed by Richo's son's...

Look forward to seeing plenty of pathways in the City v Country underage carnival.
City U18: Luke Laulilii, Haemasi Makasini (a year young).
Country U18: Archie Duncombe, Saint Fuatimau, Kohan Lewis...
If Sezer can be persuaded into becoming a utility next season, his experience and direction would be invaluable off the bench to relieve Api. No room for Simpkin currently and I think Sezer would be a better dummy-half than Sullivan.
Am hoping Matamua keeps getting reps & long minutes this...
The more & more I think about it, I think the club is using this year as a bridging year for the likes of Miller, TDS, Faagutu, Lauliliis, Mason, Saukuru, Craig, Sukkar to just get them used to playing men. Then next season will be a big year for them to ply their trade in NSW Cup and make NRL...

Our Cubs U18 team has just been announced comprising our best 18yos from SG Ball, Laurie Daley Cup & a sprinkling of 17yos from Harold Matts.
The only noticeable absentees that would have made...
I'd rather go for Bayley Sironen back from Super League. Can be a back-up backrower & lock on the bench for us and can even go into hooker, 5/8, centre if required. Plus a Tigers junior and also brings experience and effort.
$750k is a much better figure and we should only entertain more in future years once performance clauses are met based on him playing SOO & Test football. We don't want a David Fifita on our books.
This is what Phil Gould tweeted this morning. I wish our club would provide some context like this about the progression of our pathways players.
