Onitoni Large

[The Wheel]

Hi Wheel Is there anyway to watch these junior games short of being at the ground??

All NSWRL Junior Rep fixtures are being live streamed in 2025. Fans can pay to view games with a 48-hour pass ($6.95) or by monthly subscription ($19.95).

According to the report in the Tele he was only 13 and named in the Team of the Tournament at the Australian 15s Championships in 2022 that Onitoni was also named in.

Hooker: Ashton Large (NSW CIS)
Aged 13, Large was the baby of the championship who lit up the pool games with lightning dummy half skirts, handing his side match winning momentum.

He plays pool too?

If he has an extra large home, we're paying him too much

Might need a poll to gauge what his ceiling may be then

Yep. In skirts apparently.

Really hope that Onitoni can kick on and be a real top level back like Koula .
Guess just have to be a bit measured in expectations when the instance of Weekes and others is taken into account .
Though of course and for whatever reason , Weekes is doing better at the Raiders recently .
Still a good policy to target very athletic and speedy backs and as been indicated with the likes of again Koula and Saab as another example , really good natural ability can be converted into top level ist grade standard

Both these kids have crazy good potential Al, but will add to nothing without the right attitude, fortunately appears they are well on track and in good company, exciting times.
On Weekes, I seen him make some stunning runs in 2024 and was personally glad for him, however I feel these "magic moments" glossed over a heap of errors as in poor missed tackles, dropped balls and poor passes and numerous kicks out on the full.....I wish him well, but in all honesty see him as an X factor player you can bring on to change the game, but not a well balanced leader who can control a game, more a rocks/diamonds type player.

Yeah , don "t watch a lot of Raiders games but accurate call for sure and even in some limited coverage , could see a few deficiencies still in Weekes overall game .
Was mainly referring to some improvement in his attacking effectiveness and his natural speed coming to the fore more .
Looks likely with Onitoni, more suited to a 6 or centre role and keen again to see how he measures up defensively once he starts to play at a gradual higher competitive level
