Onitoni Large

[smithy]

Interesting Ashton large the gun younger brother who plays hooker has been spotted doing extra training with several manly players today.
I saw on another post someone may have spotted him in manly gear at training also?

Would be a great pick up very highly rated and would make sense with his brother being here now.

I assume that is my post in the top 30 thread you are referring to? I had been trying to figure out who the player was training with the NRL squad. He has appeared a couple of times now in training footage. I'm almost certain it's Ashton Large. Sounds like a great pick-up by the club as the wraps are big on him, and at 16, to be training with NRL must mean big things are planned.

Maybe some 'Large' success coming up for Manly over the next couple of years

This rumour has made its way onto the West Tigers Forum and a poster on their forum seems pretty confident that Ashton is still with the Tigers.

it looks similar but onitoni’s hair has been a lot shorter then that all pre season so I’m guessing it is the brother

Don’t the St George supporters say the same thing about Ben hunt ?

Just sayin’

Ashton Large is listed for the 2025 Magpies Harold Matt's squad. Don't think that's him in the screenshots. Interestingly, some of the people on the Wests Tigers forum think he'll play out 2025, and then move to Manly in 2026. Parents probably not happy with how Onitoni's departure was handled, but I think it's likely that Ashton was signed with the Magpies in some sort of way until the end of 2025.

This link is from October 4. Are we sure that’s not him in the screen shots? A lot could have changed from then to now.

Good point. Not sure, but that's the official record as of right now. Would be helpful if the club put out those summer squads...

After looking at one of the other threads on here, isn't one of the guys in the Instagram pictures Tyler Melrose?

I don't smoke but Walsh being in the top 30 seems like a good indication.
