Can’t seem to secure a bench spot, let alone a starting spot, not sure what happened with him since the start of the season, attitude? Or just too many better players than him at the moment?

Impossible to tell. Hasn’t locked down a consistent position in Reserve Grade, switching between 2nd rower, prop and 13. Young Blake Steep has appeared to really step into that ‘next big thing’ moniker, especially as a 13. Very possible he is our long term 13 with Watson as the 9, not sure if Cheese will get re-signed. Don’t be surprised to see Wong go, way too much depth, can field big offers from teams like the Tigers, Gold Coast etc. It’s a shame but unfortunately this is a business, when there are better players they’re going to be played. Then again, Robbo, barring Walker has been unwilling to throw younger players, particularly forwards to the wolves. Fahu Whyte is a great example. Maybe it’s just a case of really locking down his long term position and putting on some muscle, while building him up memtally

I think he will be around for a while yet. The coach did something similar with Nafahu, gave him a taste, then sent him back to NSW Cup to improve a few things and he Wong seems to be heading down the same track
Big wraps on the kid - like Many think he has been out back to res grade to iron things out and hopefully next year or 2026 will be in the 17 full time
robbo seems to have a thing with the younger guys getting a taste and fine tuning in res grade before coming back
we have a lot of forwards but see big things with Whyte and Wong in the next couple of years

Might be able to fit in the 17 next season
8. May
9. Watson
10. Collins
11. rads
12. Gus
13. Wong
14. B smith
15. Nat butch
16. Whyte
17. Leniu
With Whyte in the prop rotation, Egan unavailable for 1/2 the season and Sitili gone, Wong will have plenty of opportunities to prove his worth in 2025.

Watson is only ever our back up 9. There is no way he’d be our permanent 9 unless forced by injury.
