Junior Reps 2026

[RedVHeartbeat]

I hope Ah Kee is in the St. George team.

Oh he is and is just the spark Ball needs to get them back to premiership contenders. Also the Papuali twins, Cornelius and Alexander plus Phoenix Johns who impressed me last season. Reminds me of a young Stephen Crichton. Johannan Ah Kee is a hooker so potential for a good combo with his brother. Kusto brothers. That name rings a bell.

Matts need a spark too and Rokko Walker may be the one to provide it. Comes to us from the strong All Blacks nursery and will likely be our #7 and prime game manager as he played stand off (5/8) in rugby yawnion. I know nothing about any of the other players as our website provides us zero info. Not even on our new recruits. There is tho a Layth HAMMOUD, likely Shadies kid brother.

Reminds me of a young Stephen Crichton. Johannan Ah Kee is a hooker unlike his brother. Kusto brothers. That name rings a bell.

I think we had Ben Kusto playing for us at some stage RVH.

Elite Pathways first training today.
25 players 6/19 split.
Some of the boys have put on some size in last few months.
Tom E will be the Elite Development coach.

First trial Dec 12 at Helensburgh Steelers v Dragons

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

I think we had Ben Kusto playing for us at some stage RVH.

Yeh, a half wasnt he and a bit of a dud too as I recall.

In the event of a very bad year in the NRL along with lots of injuries, which of these is the best chance of playing NRL before the end of 2026? Obviously Jasias Ah Kee is the one everyone talks about but I think he is one who will have to get bigger before playing NRL.

Couple of players there that members will know in Luka and Rocco, my player to watch is Maddox Barton. He is already a decent size and has speed to burn.
* Riley Brown is a 6 from Greystains

I have no idea how you come up with these lists, but thank you once again, they always come in handy at some point during the year!

Note: surprised how many Parra juniors there are in amongst the Penrith ones.. Penrith is a far bigger catchment yeah?

Google is your Friend.. I enjoy it.. Get to see some highlights and read some articles on majority.... You can see the how we must have connections, target clubs or agreements with certain clubs and even in NZ (Hamilton) and a few Rugby players, we have also gone big on Props which i gather is no coincidence..

A couple of new names to watch.
Lorima Saukuru was brought in to help Ah Kee in attack and should start in the halves.
Nate Wilson a big unit from the Hunter, I'm hoping he increases his fitness and strength and can cause some damage.

The big issue will be the Minchinbury and St Marys boys getting on.

Lorima, can also play fullback, very attacking minded player, from what i read..
Hopefully no issue with the boys..

A good proportion of our own juniors and outsiders in Matts Cup. Yes our recruiters have gone to town to beef up Ball Cup with mostly imports, specially from the Panthers nursery. Parra jrs too. Only two Saints juniors, Rauna Ryder-Kingi, Jackson Haesler, also Phoenix Johns from Steelers territory. Pretty poor show of faith in our home grown boys to be brutally honest. But sadly necessary.

we have also gone big on Props which i gather is no coincidence..

I noted that too. No coincidence as Saints, specially have been short of big units in both comps for past two yrs. Lets all hope some skill comes with the size and also that plenty of attention was paid to our recruits defensive ability.

Strong squads again and will give the comp a shake.
About 10 players from last year in their second season
A spine of Ollie Noah Fletch and Asher.
My player watch is on the year younger group of Destin Tausala, Xavier Laidlaw and Jake Swan.

Not as sttong as recent years but a well balanced side.
Leeroy, CJ and Kap need to set up.
My players to watch Lika looked good off the bench last year and Jordy had a strong back end of the year and should start in the halfs with Marley
