Top Squad this year

[Ryan]

I've noticed the official site has some more players added to our top 30:
Jacob Sykes (Prop) - never heard of him
Viliami Fifita (forward) - a reserve grader?

Where did these guys come from? Reserve grade for us? @Smokin Joe , any detail on them mate?

Leaves us with unknowns like Sykes, Fifita, Tuitavake, Roumanos, Fainu (thought he signed with The Tigers?) and Boyle (to a lesser degree). Do any of these have a real shot at playing first grade?

I'm just basing this off our official site.

They all have a shot at first grade and the way Covid and our injuries are piling up it could be very soon!
Except Boyle apparently is out for a long time and I think Tuitavake may also be out injured.
Sione has gone to Tigers so he'll probably get a game over there.

Is Fifita the young bloke who apparently weighed 180kgs at 15 years of age but got on the right path & dropped heaps of weight?

Not sure but had a run in one of the trials and went pretty well.

I posted this in another thread today with same query:

According to MWSE, Jacob Sykes is a Prop. Along with Humphries and Gordon CKT, he's a development player for 2022 and with our injury toll we might just need him...

As for Fifita, he's a 2022 Train & Trial player, as well as Ackland, Vaega, Dargan, De Luis, Leiu, Roumanos and Manase Fainu. (We've been kept in the dark as far as Sione is concerned.)

Alec Tuitavake is in our top 30 to 2023. Also being a Prop, I'd say he's a good a chance as any to play first grade.

 

[40 nil]

He's signed with the Tigers and this weekend will be his third game with their Flegg side
