[double hoops]

Made the Fiji squad. So just like last year we have a reason to watch the Bati. Played 3 games in NSW Cup so must be showing something in the juniors.

Listed as a Prop.

Looks to have more of a backrower build at this young age.

What's his pace and mobility like?

Looks like a unit. A few more years growing and big off seasons in the gym, he could be a real handful.
Great to see the young gun getting selected for rep honours.
Will be watching other interest.

He and Devante Mihinui were the starting props in nearly every Flegg game. Both figured prominently in highlights each week. Just wish they were a couple of years older and competing for a first grade spot in 25.

Played decent for Fiji but doesn’t make the trial team… is he still at the club?

 

[bigd1972]

Was on a train and trial basis pre-season along with a few others including Devante Mihiniu, Broden Konz. Perhaps injured or playing a jersey flegg trial if there is one on and he is eligble.

He's very young and probably still too green. He's only played 2 reserve grade games from the bench, so he's well down the order for 2025 at Manly.

For this trial we selected 6 players with NRL experience at front row (Sio, Sips, Paseka, Patolo, James, Waddell) plus another couple of promising types in the reserves.

And that doesn't even include Aloia, Bull, Brown, or Jake and Tevaga, who have also played front row in NRL. Plus we have Sykes who's in the All Stars, plus Lodge who could conceivably be used later in the year.
