Your breakout star for 2025

[Bates]

Reckon Whyte may go next level and start the game pushing Collins to the bench.

So from the list that we chose in the previous comments -

Which 5 in order will play the most NRL games in 2025?
and
Will anyone apart from Robert Toia make there NRL debut in 2025?

Agree, Mark Nawaqanitawase will play whenever he's available. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jake Elliott debut if injury strikes before Sam Walker is back. Salesi Foketi a chance (though he has a few in front of him on the right edge). Smokeys might be Toby Rodwell if he starts the season 'on fire' and 'demands' selection and I think it's possible that Benaiah Ioelu leapfrogs Tyler Moriarty and jags a game or two, again if injury leaves us short at hooker. Big X has to be a show at some stage too.

Marky Mark will be our breakout star for sure. I am already one of his biggest fans

[Vasco]

I think his style is more like Sualli based on the one game I’ve seen him play. Either one would be okay.

I don't think he's as powerful as Suaalii. He has the basic skills like drawing and passing which is something Suaalii still didn't quite master.

Can't pick one .... but my top 3 are:

1. Siua Wong
2. Mark Nawaqanitawase
3. Sandon Smith

The List
Salesi Foketi
Robert Toia
Blake Steep
Siua Wong
Xavier Va'a
Mark Nawaqanitawase
Chad Townend
Naufahu Whyte
Sandon Smith
Billy Smith
Tyler Moriaty
Zach Dockar-Clay
Taylor Losalu
De La Salle Va'a
Jake Elliot



My guess
1. Mark Nawaqanitawase
2 Naufahu Whyte
3 Robert Toia (Debut)
4 One of the Smith Brothers
5 Chad Townsend

Debut - Salesi Foketi

Very difficult to settle on 5, with this list. So here goes ;

1 Marky N.
2.Jake Elliot.
3 D S L Va'a
4. Blake Steep.
5. Naufahu Whyte.

Easier would he to go with Wong, Toia, Bily S, and Townsend included, thought I'd make it a little more daring.

hard to go past Mark Nawaqanitawase or Toia

left field one however, if we get a few outside back injuries and Tyreece Tait gets a run, he might be hard to leave out - lightning on his feet

[roosterproud]

Looks like momos back with us. Handy back up

[Rooster_6]

Can't pick one .... but my top 3 are:

1. Siua Wong
2. Mark Nawaqanitawase
3. Sandon Smith

Do you think Siua Wong gets that right edge position next year?

[King Salvo]

Apparently a 2 year deal if correct -Maybe joined by the Mercurial one The Hutchinator as well

[Vasco]

We aren't that desperate surely. If he returns it shows that our recruitment and development system is off the pace.

[HunchoRooster]

Unfortunately I think it will be Blaize Talagi, which will mean the Riff will only streak further ahead.

I think he'll end up twice the player Luai is.

Edit: apologies I misunderstood the assignment. Breakout player for us... I think Blake Steep if he is given adequate game time. Otherwise Mark N. Hard to call a Wallabies player a breakout player but still new to League.

[DP1990]

Do you think Siua Wong gets that right edge position next year?

I think it'll be a battle between Nat and Siua for most of the year. Connor will play #9 and when Brandon returns and should Connor shift into lock then maybe it'll be a 3x way shoot out between Victor + Nat and Siua. At that point, Siua will most-likely end up fighting for a bench spot (as we all know Nat will find a spot in the 17 most weeks).

A bit of a selection headache for Robbo and co next season.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Whyte had a solid game today. Hopefully he is in the mix for the breakout star next year.

Where did you that?
