Highly doubt Napa will be seen as a backrower ahead of guys like Jakiel Mariner and Vincent Leuluai, who both have better offloads and are much quicker and more dynamic. Leuluai in particular will fit right into first grade once he gets his shot in my opinion. His aggression sets him apart. Every run is a million miles an hour, no hint of self preservation. If he can work with Cordner and Aubusson on hole running he'll be like Anthony Tupou at his peak.

There is a few up and comers with some good offloading ability. Evans and Liu were both pretty adept at it in their earlier years. Evans is more of a pop out the back. Liu's is a left arm round the corner to a half or fullback trailing (technically it's one of the best offloads that I've ever seen).

Evans was great in his last 2 games of the season vs Titans and Tigers while there were injuries. Made 100 metres in about 20 minutes off the bench vs Titans but the Tigers game is what stood out. Was only 4 or 6-0 at half time and Evans alongside Moa changed the game with their go forward at the start of the second half and we nearly 50 on them.

But based on what I've seen on the field Guerra appears to have a lot more speed over a longer distance. Regardless, it's Guerra's footwork that makes him a great edge player.
Aiden has one of if not the best hit and spins in the game but Napa's footwrk and speed is easily as good. Dylans speed can be seen in his support play.
