Young Forwards - Do we have any?

I am not sold on Navale. Agree he looks explosive however it also seems to be short lived. I think he has struggled a bit with the intensity of FG and is being replaced after a short stint. The coaching team see him at training, playing for the reggies and are best to judge. Something is clearly lacking. Similar calls for GCKT. He showed a bit of promise in the trials but has been found wanting in FG. I don't either are the solution to our problems. Unfortunately there are no standout candidates to knock the door down this year. Hugo Hart looks a likely prospect but started the year in SG Ball so may need another 12 months before he can handle FG.

If you look at the juniors we let go during Siebold's tenure Weekes, Fainu x 2 would all strengthen our FG side. We really need to sign 1 or 2 gun young forwards.
You have to give these youngsters at least a full season to see what theyre capable of. The tendency to judge them after a few games then scrap them for an over 30 forward or a regular who has been below average for a long time is what is setting the club back.
