There’s a bit of a double edge sword with some claiming it would kill the NSW and QLD cups- think there’s room for both but the current state comps would likely drop in standard a bit but I think it will improve the pathways for NRL.Having 3 grades especially reserve grade would help strengthen the competition, would need to b a higher level than the state leagues. That would depend on how many of the players are full time professionals.
Give the clubs more depth.
Nice idea in theory but sounds unaffordable when everyone's taking pay cuts. Where does that leave the feeder clubs like Dolphins?V’Landys pushing to bring back reserve grade and under 21s all playing game day
Just doing what they were doing in the 90s, being a Queensland cup side and possible feeder into a reserve grade side.Nice idea in theory but sounds unaffordable when everyone's taking pay cuts. Where does that leave the feeder clubs like Dolphins?
Yep, there are several players from Flegg in the two Auckland sides.I just found on Kayo Nzrl under 20'S central district v south island, do we have any of our jnrs in these?
Havnt had much of a chance to watch much of the National under 20s but from what I have seen Zyon Maiuu is going to be a star. He trained with the first graders prior to Xmas and looks to have put on more size. I’ve heard both Browny and POS are huge fans of his
Unfortunatly no.Any young halves to keep an eye on?
Looks like we've got some good young hookers coming through, just not sure where our next great half is coming from
Except Taumalolo is 6’3 and Maiuu isn’t. Agree that he’s a strong runner though, and physically more developed than everyone else in that U20 comp.I watched a couple of games of maiuu. Hes absolutely solid. Built like a pile of bricks. Such a strong runner. Our taumalolo in the making. 😏
Put it this way, there’s no halves in the junior set up right now that are even close to the same junior pedigree as Chanel Harris-Tavita or Turner.Any young halves to keep an eye on?

I mean to be honest, with those two we’re already in a better position than most clubs in terms of young upcoming halves.So we're really hoping they kick on otherwise we're paying overs for an average or barely above average aussie half to fill the void. That's encouraging.....
But to answer your original question, the junior half in the club’s system that they rate the most is 18 year old Sebastyan Jack. He trained with the first grade squad and is in Redcliffe now.So we're really hoping they kick on otherwise we're paying overs for an average or barely above average aussie half to fill the void. That's encouraging.....

I know you’re a noted Chanel Harris-Tavita hater but, kicking game aside, he’s a pretty advanced half for his age.
Both have had massive wraps on them for years. Chanel Harris-Tavita was chased by every club before he had even made his NYC debut. Turner was also chased by most clubs after his first Harold Matthews season before he decided to come home.
I’m not saying they will be stars but there’s no reason to think they won’t kick on into regular first grader given their age.
