Ratcliffe & Kaian Olsen. I'm predicting Olsen to have SJ type youtube highlights reel in years to come. Kid is phenomenal!

Ratcliffe is gonna be an absolute beast, reminds me of the Ryan Paps type of player with Reece Walsh's footy smarts

Ratcliffe reminds me more of a young Dylan Edwards. Solid , hard-working kid with good speed.
Olsen is more like Walsh/Papenhuyzen with blinding speed and handy ball skills.
We'll soon see in a few years time.

We should get Jackson Ford to get in the ear of his first cousin Hamish Stewart and tell him hes not gonna win a premiership anytime soon with the Drags? Come on over son! Lol.

With Cowboys signing Ramien and Katoa Barber could be a serious option

Warriors4eva95 · Tuesday at 3:45 PM

Cowboys are making moves Katoa and Ramien signed, they've got an endless backline now

Off contact - Taulagi I thought would be a much better option 27 years old in his prime years from Auckland may be home sick and I reckon he'd be lethal and could well fit in the web ball system and would totally be an upgrade to Pompey

100% AGREE!!

Ratcliffe has really reminded me several times of a hybrid of Ryan Paps, Reece Walsh and James Tedesco. He is going to be a weapon for the Warriors. A long term Warriors in the making.

When can we realistically hope to have one of them as a starting NRL fullback, and do we need to bridge that gap before theyre ready?

Soz, a few people responded but you were last to respond, happy to hear from any one about this

Purdue is the future at fullback for the cows so Barber will definitely be on the outer. Apparently roosters were interested, but they’re always linked to every young talent in the NRL

I think will be 2 years off.

Needs to be blooded into NSW cup this year at some stage and then get a full year learning the role in NSW cup after that.

The succession plan makes sense then with CNK here till 2027 and Taine till 2028

LeMana could debut by end of year, but will really push next year. Ratcliffe the year after. Lemana is ahead physically, but Ratcliffe has a bit higher ceiling IMO. More like a ball-playing spine player than Lemana, who is a classy runner, but not much else.

Lemana has pushed ahead of KPP so if there any more injuries to centre’s could definitely be an option to play NRL this year

Lemana seems to be handling cup now, is he next in line at fullback if Doyle goes down?

No he’s seen as a centre long term or a 6. Coming into the season he was seen as a fullback. But Joseph Ratcliffe had a great ball season at fullback and the club signed him until 28 so is seen as the future fullback at the club.

I could see Linnane getting a crack at fullback if all the first grade options were unavailable. What's his defence been like in Cup?

His defence looks good for a small bloke would make a good fullback i reckon just needs to get some kms in the legs would definitely have him in there over Doyle . Maybe the are just trying to get his fitness up .

No Try's scored on his edge since entering cup.

24 points conceded over two games since entering.

Win loss 2/0.

Typed all that partly in fun, coz it is a team game, but the first point, no try's let in on his watch stands.

He has dropped a couple of big back row forwards one on one and made it look easy, so I would say so far so good. Notwithstanding Pompey has let a few in....
