Where’s the dynamic, electrifying winger, Sio Kali?

Injured, putting his boots on

RTV!

Yup. Rodney is a unit. Exciting future. Reminds me of Naufahu Whyte.

Inch has legs like tree trunks, different build to most halves if that's his position.

He's a farmer's son. That was part of what coaches liked about him. He's farm fit. Gets great spring off those legs into a step. He's no slouch which took me by surprise. He's going to be a 6 or centre. Can kick well for goal.

Yup, Always rated this kid. Hes taller than Naufahu too. Once he fills out, Holy hecka!

Thanks bangbros and dannevegas for your replies. Hopefully he has what it takes to make to first grade. I seem to recall that he played a few NSW Cup games I think? How did he do?

Faces I've seen on the social media posts:

Harry Inch, Bishop Neal, Ezekiel Davidson Faaiuaso, Dezman Laban, Haizyn Mellars, Braelan Marsh, Jacob Aulua, Rodney Tuipulotu-Vea, Connor Bowden, Nganatatafu Vake, Lennox Tuiloma, Kahu Capper, Motu Pasikala

He's the anti-Metcalf, legs like fenceposts with number 8 hamstrings by the look of him.

You sure? Whyte is listed at 6'4

RTV always looked 6'2 to me (maybe max 6'3)

If Ali and Naufahu had a baby, I bet it would look like Rodney.

Too experienced for this group I would say.

Mellars is probably there to spend max time with coaching staff. But the rest are all kids. RTV probably next most experienced.

I thought Jack Thompson and Brandon Norris was supposed to be with this group, but maybe they're spending time back in Aus with fam etc.

Also I guess Caelys Putoko has bit longer off given he was with the Cooks.

Would have loved to see the big lads Tepatasi Laumalili and Emosi Ravosai training with this group.

Another face I would've expected here is Junior Sikuvea.

I guess Makaia Tafua, Jason Salalilo and Patrick Moimoi fall into the same bucket as Kali.
