Exactly as I said mate. Guess many of the current generation are out of touch with our golden years You guys there is a thread here on that very subject if you wanna familiarise yourselves with our world record era.

You mean, "not named"? We use to get all these questions answered by Mug Fan.
I am hoping he can become a "marquee" standard and our long term 5/8. The reports on him are very positive. He is the kind of young players we should be signing. There was a lot of competition for his signature and we won the race it for it. Maybe a Reed Walker halves combination is our long term future?Rokko Walker:
The Dragons have just signed New Zealand rugby sensation Rokko Walker.
Club: Dragons. Matts Cup.
Position: Five-eighth / Fullback
School: Cranbrook School Bellevue Hill
Skills: Speed, Step / Footwork, Running Game, Vision
A huge off-season buy which stirred up plenty of feather in rugby union circles, it’s a big change for the youngster who has made the move from New Zealand, but has the skillset to come good.
Formerly a first XV five-eighth, the 188cm teen is an avid runner in the same position for league, with the pace to match.
A four-year deal at the Saints has them sure they are in safe hands.
Sounds good. I like you posting these reports of our up and coming youngsters. It is very positive. Keep us all updated on our good youngsters.Asher Chapman:

Club: Illawarra Steelers Matts Cup.
Position: Hooker
School: N/A
Skills: Speed | Running game | Step/footwork | Passing
Chapman’s biggest asset is his pace, which he uses to great effect out of dummy half either servicing front rowers or breaking the line himself.
With wheels to burn and good footwork, the under-16s City rep is just as prolific in union, but is contracted to the Dragons for another two years.
Jeez not a season ending injury. Phoenix impressed me last season.
Was thinking the same. I am very familiar with Reeds game management skills and vision, but Walker being a yawnion 5/8 will have some play making skill too. Combined this with his kicking and running game and we may have a special future halves combo.
I have reactivated my Bar acct and am champing at the bit for the upcoming season. Pity it is so bloody short tho. Surely nswrl can extend the number of games.Junior Reps Team Lists: Rd 1
Team lists for the opening round of the 2026 Junior Representative season were today named.
Not been impressed by this big fellar. Dare I say that he looks a bit of a plodder.
They look good players and depending on new half Lachlan Gardiners ability they may well be future stars. Saints junior Ryder-Kingi could be his partner. The trial replays I have seen dont give us a clue to the players identity. Pure guesswork. All will be revealed tomorrow in Round 1.
It's early but Ah Kee has to be in the team if he signs long-term. Sounds like Walker can play anywhere in the backline and Burton anywhere from 1-5.
Those are 2 guys im really keen to see tomorrow as I dont have a good grasp of their ability:
