General Warriors ISP NSW Cup 2019

I thought Paul Turner showed a couple of times today at the back that he does possess some genuine pace. He's worth keeping an eye on.

How would you rank them and which one do you feel is closest to first grade?

All very different players.

Tyler Slade might be the closest to first grade because of his defence. He is also probably the least creative. I still think he is more of a ball playing lock in the future. But his base passing game and IQ are good enough where he can play hooker. The real benefit with him is that he would be an 80 min hooker. The other thing is that this guy is future captain material.

Temple Kalepo is a gun as others have said, and probably my favourite prospect of this group. He’s the most likely to make the first grade spot his own in the coming years. He just has it all and only 18 years old.

Sean Mullaney is also a good prospect. Played Junior Kiwis last year while he was with the Cowboys and then we poached him off them. Best passer of this group and strong organiser.

Taniela Otukolo might be the most explosive running hooker I have ever seen. This kid is Damien Cook/Jake Granville on steroids. Just absolutely terrorising defenders around the ruck in U20s right now. I had never heard of him a couple months ago but he’s been dominant in the few games I’ve seen him in at only 17 years old. He could possibly be the best of this group - I just haven’t seen enough of him.

If I had to rank them I would go 1. Temple Kalepo 2. Tyler Slade 3. Taniela Otukolo 4. Sean Mullaney

Interesting that the good run the ISP is on has come at a time when some youth has come into the side and their forward pack has been able to field a proper back row, rather than having to accommodate the centres there.

Highlights from the 32-30 loss to the Rabbts.

HIGHLIGHTS | South Sydney v Warriors - Rd 21

The Rabbitohs survive a late scare from the Warriors.

Paul Turner in 7 but playing FB looks dangerous! Might overtake Perham in the pecking order? Ayshford of all people playing halfback :|

Yeah saw the stats and he had 12 tackle breaks for the match. Hopefully he gets to play a position consistently

LOL who was playing 22? Put a shot on a Rabbitohs player from behind while he was being held up and pushed him into score.

Haha who else but Sam Lisone. From all reports he played very well though

9 players in our NSW cup team today are eligible to be playing U20s.

That has to be a record for this club. Another sign that we’re on the right rack with development pathways.

I reckon. Internal development is how we are going to succeed. Then a few vets to show them the ropes and projects like Milne and even Hiku that were low cost but potentially high value.

Did Herbert play? How did he go if he did?
