Recruitment Warriors 2026/2027 Recruitment & Retention

Looking at the Inch kid.
He a natural modern day 6.
Won't need much teaching,just let him do his thing.
Could be our next generation half talent after SJ.
Had a hunch someone could come rob the nest.
Here he is.IMO
Inch is good, great kicking skills but I would not class him as a league 6. A league 6 is like Strange from Canberra. Leaguies are usually a little more athletic and defensively tough. Could Inch become tougher? Yes, but he is not a line breaking attacking 6. I would say Linnane is more what we want. I could be wrong, but I have seen a fair bit of him and think he is your typical rugby 10, which while they excel in kicking and have a good passing game, many of them lack that attacking running game. I think we get excited on potential here much more than actual reality.
Just my opinion. I might be wrong...

I really want to see akp and leka strike up a good combo the key to his 2023 Try scoring haul was the people inside him creating Opportunities especially david fifta when he would get the late off loads going we do camp the most on the opposition line also so plenty chances to clean up the little grabbers in behind the line.

If gannon and taine get a start coupled with the addition of akp and return of metcalf we do gain quite a bit of much needed pace across the park
 
Came across under 18s union NZ v Aus 2025 game on YouTube while scrolling, figured Harry Inch might of played in last year's game so searched it out, and indeed he was playing, he played off the bench and was subbed on in about the 50th minute, looked like he was playing fullback, he caught a couple of high kicks under huge pressure in slippery conditions , his defense looked solid as, the few chances he had running he hit the line hard could easily see him making breaks, his kicking was a bit sus but that's because catching the ball on the full in union you can take it on the mark... My breakdown he deserves all the praise he had been getting from union circles and no wonder they disappointed... League would showcase his skillset better, give him more opportunities /with ball in hand, I can see him slipping into league with ease
He is a league fullback. Watched the clip, it's as plain as the nose on your face. His instincts are to attack kicks and rove.
Be dumb to play him anywhere else apart from Fullback or Wing (Wing debut with a mind to transition to fullback).
In the shittest team too..
They're not shit at attack though eh. Their backs are wayy better than ours with the ball.
