He's years away. Everything with him is all completely reliant on his size and physical advantages atm.
Eg Timing and angles on his lead lines is terrible probably because it doesn't matter at that level. He just powers through anyway.
He's not even the best player in that Matts team atm. He's definitely the best long term prospect, but Byford has been the best by a mile imo.

I'm really not sure harper has ever recovered from this.

Agree, he's got all the physical attributes but the effort areas are definitely not there at the moment.
Defensively, I agree. I do not pick him ahead of Ali as a attacking threat. No shade at Rocco. He has the ability. I'm a fan of both. For different reasons. One's an attacking threat, The other is defensively superior. Both have time to work on those areas they lack inRoccos injury last year was huge in terms of our derailment of a season imo.
Can't wait to see him back in 1st grade Ali is good but Rocco is far better
I wanted us to sign Talakai after this... I should have known.
Glad to see Crosby is still around. Be interesting to see how he progresses.Excited to see Berry and Crosby. Hopefully Berry has a good game straight back into grade with Ali on the left with Rog.
But our first drop wingers for grade are looking like Harper and Kosi. Like come on why is Kali on the bench and get Amituanai in there. Also Doyle at fullback
can only assume they want kosi game time just incase someone gets injured. But I agree I would have started future planning now and played one of them on wing.Excited to see Berry and Crosby. Hopefully Berry has a good game straight back into grade with Ali on the left with Rog.

Maybe they see Kali more at Center though (cause he played inside Daeon in trials). But Im expecting by mid round at least for one or botb kf them in the cup lineup
Why not pasikala over Doyle at FB?

I'm not unhappy about it tbh, I'd like to see the guy dominate at Flegg level and take that confidence up to cup in a few weeks if all goes well.

To me this game is more interesting than the tired old NZW first grade side.
Who thinks this side could beat AW first grade picks from Las Vegas?

He went ok in cup last year but that was mainly on the wing if I recall correctly. I feel like confidence might be down a little bit after his output in the limited minutes he got in the trials, a stint at fullback in Flegg might just be enough to remind himself what he's good at, ie. Beating players and backing his ability.

Same, and it's making me want to purchase access to BarTV so I can watch.
I've always liked watching reserve grade prior to the NRL match, so it's annoying that it's not much part of the TV schedule now.
I remember watching SJ come through U20s on Sky TV... I think you could watch 3 Warriors teams back to back then.
