Is he the winger from Newtown?

[Headless Chook]

That's my opinion.

Let's re-visit in a few years and see who ends up being the better halfback.
The halfback that can't kick the ball further than 20 metres and held the club to ransom or the guy who actually is a halfback.

Happy to be proven wrong because that would mean we have a great player on our books, bnut it's a massive step from SG Ball to playing against men let alone NRL

Is he the winger from Newtown?

Isn't that Luke Towers? I heard he's been training hard and is eyeing a return

[Lydon]

Is he the winger from Newtown?

Yes that’s him.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS

Who is just around the corner

Xavier Va’a (St Mary’s College, Toowoomba)


A young prop odds on to make his debut in 2024, Va’a is an elite middle forward talent whose leadership saw him captain the 2023 Queensland under-19 State of Origin side.

2024-25). A talented boxer from Dalby, he went to school in St Mary’s before relocating to Roosters heartland where he was joined by his brother, De La Salle, at Marcellin College, Randwick.

The younger brother of Xavier who we mention above, Va’a won SG Ball Best Forward Award before playing up in his age group and making the leap to the NSW Cup where he held his own and then breaking into the NRL making his debut off the interchange bench in round 27 this year. As mentioned above, he moved from St Mary’s to be with his brother in Sydney.

An elite, quick stepping centre, Toia’s progress since school has been curtailed by two serious knee injuries. But if he is 90 per cent the player many saw as a schoolboy, he’s a big chance to play NRL with the glamour club.

Xzavier Timoteo of Ipswich SHS.
The Roosters love affair with chasing Queensland props continues at pace. Joining Padua College old boy Lindsay Collins as engine room contenders during off-season training will be 2024 Queensland schoolboy Magele (Ipswich SHS), 2023 Queensland schoolboy Toia (Redcliffe SHS), Ben Uini (Wavell SHS) and Xzavier Timoteo.

Timoteo was the 2024 Ipswich SHS captain whom the Roosters picked up from the Bulldogs, Magele played his way into a Queensland schoolboys’ jersey, Uini has been a long-term investment while Toia, a 2023 Maroons’ schoolboy, is the brother of ace centre Rob Toia. All of those boys have NRL potential.

Amaziah Murgha (Ipswich Grammar School) was a stunning outside back talent with blinding pace. Roosters supporters, you need to watch this space. The kid can run and is a footballer.

A knee injury ruined Lee’s school season after he had played his way into the 2024 Queensland schoolboys. A left centre, Lee was an outstanding prospect on track for the NRL.
Wildcard watch

Tyreece Tait (Wavell SHS)

A 2022 Queensland schoolboy winger who arrived at the club via the Broncos. Tait has a fly start on other players simply because of his speed.

Cohen Dittmann (Kirwan SHS)

The big bodied centre from the north can make his presence felt with his brutish running and strong defence. He and Ignatius Park College talent Reece Foley, who came off the bench or played halves in this season’s SG Ball side, were Roosters’ signing from North Queensland.

That all sounds very promising. Thanks Gaz.

I’m assuming Tom Rodwell is the older brother of Toby? Anyone know his credentials and age?

[Horry]

This was in 2023

Tom Rodwell - Sharks

Scored four tries in one game of Jersey Flegg last year, Tom is a powerfully built centre-winger, much like his father, former NSW Origin centre Brett Rodwell. A brother of Toby’s, Tom is in contention to make his first grade debut in 2023 after being elevated to the Sharks NRL training squad. The 20-year-old showed his readiness for the NRL with a strong trial performance, which included a try, against the Knights last weekend.
