Youth gems

[KaZa]

We obviously had a good HM side. The following had big wraps.. to name a few.

Albert Hopoate

Ben Trbojevic

Daniel Ala

Joshua Schuster

Kaeo Weekes

Any idea what they do now that the season is over? Can they be called up to the under 20s side? Too young? How do we develop these guys further?

I think Harold Matt's are too young to play u/20s. S. G Ball can.
But I think this group is similar to the one that produced beaver, Gartner, kosef and hoppa senior so bozo's challenge is to keep them like he did in the 90s.
He will but you can bet the usual suspects like the greasy Dalai, dogs and rorters are peeping through the fence.

Schuster in 2nd row was devastating in the semi I watched. I hear he is from out west but must be kept. The 5/8 Weekes looked great but very young at this stage.

If Ben ever joins his two brothers in first grade I want to claim first use of the moniker:
The Treblevics.

Harold Matthews are under 16's, would be too young for NYC I imagine.

You have to be 17 to play NYC but I would imagine they would at least play a full SG Ball season next year before being considered. The players mentioned along with Alec Tuitavake are all part of the 28 man origin 16s squad. A lot of potential there hopefully it is well nurtured.

Must have changed it, Will Hoppa was on Sterol's show the other night and said he played under 20s at 16.

 

[The Wheel]

They go back and play for local clubs

Yes. They upped NRL to 18 and NYC to 17 a few years back

As are we through theirs. A big chunk of our juniors are imports.
