I thought Nick Bradley had made a comeback
Tolu Koula
- Thread starter Sir Pigman
- Start date
I think it’s the guy I posted as being our newest signing , elevated into the top 30 from the juniors , Koula ( Koala).
I know **** all other than it was on Twitter

We need to be careful assuming who is actually in the top 30. As an example Koala could be doing pre season training with the NRL squad not in the top 30!as such

This would be the young winger from the Manly lower grades that was getting some wraps on his ability at the start of this year and that Union apparently had their eyes on also . Really have to keep these type of promising junior players and develop within the Manly system to hopefully i st grade level at Manly and an on going career there .
Well if we had a Wombat we can certainly have a Koala!!
Don't forget Snake and a Shltload of kangaroos.
He has a combined background of League and Yawnion Mark and is highly rated....apparently a speedy and elusive attacker from good judges, but I know nothing about defensive capabilities, but you would expect a fullback to be fairly safe....
Is he as good as Hoppa jnr?

8 and 9 months mate.
Its s tough question as Hoppa had wraps based on his potential which is fine, but after coming back from horrendous injury, will take a season of healthy footy to show his true ability.....far as same age comparison, many rate Koula up with the best and these are judges who have seen him far more than I and know footy....Hoppa is a tough comparison as I reckon will come good and what we seen 2020 is not accurate to his true ability....but unlikely be at Manly.
Personally hope we hang onto some of the youthful talent like Koula, as Manly will have an abundance of talent available by 2022/23.

I thought he was still in nappies.

He plays at number 6 from memory and scored that nice try in the tigers clip. Previous sprint school boy star.

Weekes was playing six in that clip. Koula was fullback.

That is certainly the way the team lists were named that week. Mapapalangi in the centres.

Sorry I thought you were talking about kaeo weekes All I saw was Koala in the heading which has since changed I see and Weekes first name is Kaeo! The fullback also has loads of pace and looks similar.

No need to apologise; both are quality prospects and both have plenty of pace. Hopefully, one or both with come through and be a star for the Sea Eagles.
The plan is at this stage for Koula is to play centres as he comes into grade. His father represented Tonga at the olympics as a sprinter and Tolu is of the same cloth he has run 10.58 for 100m. He played Australian Schoolboys Union on the wing. He is very willing in defence also. Nice to finally have some serious speed in the outside backs.
