We were looking at Fesolai twins but I expect them to go to Bulldogs
Cater will extend at Roosters.
We have plenty more we are talking to.
Couple of Marley's teammates and a few Penrith Matts I'm keen on.

Big fan of a few of the Penrith Matt’s boys, ladder position not a true reflection of the talent there. Some things behind the scenes caused that falloff

Marley’s Burleigh team is stacked, back rowers and Outside backs are class

Any one of them panthers/Burleigh players in particular caught your eye Justa?

There's a few young players we are close on but at this stage of talks I'll leave their names for now.
A young country foward, Penrith back and NZ back.

The kid is something special, playing against kids 1-2 years older, could end up being only the second 3 year Australian Schoolboy.

In Australian Schoolboys for 3 years? Grade 10, 11 and 12?

Is there any plans to give him a long term deal with a top 30 spot locked in a few years?

In the plans but the shit fight at Crown not helping.

An amazing talent. Really have to lock him up long term. No more Latu stuff ups with our talented juniors.

I keep forgetting he's a few years younger. Love his back fence charges, looks wild too lol.

The Fiji boys are like rocks but our middle really stood up.
The collision sounds were NRL like, the boys were feeling it at the end.
Spoke to Leeroy after the game asked him how hard they hit, he just smiled and said I f*cking love it.

Can't create an enforcer. They either have that mentality or don't. E.g. look at nas compared to jwh. Both massive blokes but jwh has the enforcer mentality while nas is a bit more reserved.

Is he really smart? If not, at some stage over the next 2 years he might be told something like, "You don't have to worry about school. We'd like you to be training full-time."

Wow didn't see that sorry. How good are we going to be in a few years time if we can keep the majority of these kids?

Spot on. The engine room will be dynamic, need to get a couple of backline players coming through.

I imagine Charley Heidke wasn't far off. He might be a bit better than Buchanan.
