Hey guys

Does anyone with inside info have any knowledge as to who will be staying on with the 20s next season or going to Wyong and also who will just be moving on it's so hard to find information on the 20s

Radley has signed for 2 more years, he is actually eligible for NYC for the next 2 seasons. Butcher I think has 2 more years and Garvey at least 1. Even in the 30 minutes before he busted his shoulder, Garvey showed his class and why he should be one of the players the club builds the NRL team around in the next 2 or 3 years. He is that good.

You will find that Butcher and Manu will be part of the NRL squad next year. Most of the others will be back in the 20's. Grant Garvey is special he could also find himself in the NRL squad before long. It will depend on how long it takes him to bulk up. Been very impressed with Victor Radley and the centre Anderson too.

Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck has now earned himself a start with the Roosters top grade squad over the summer thanks to 13 tries and over 100 tackle breaks in the under 20s this season.

Nice little article this is...
“I’M not used to scoring too many tries so I don’t know how to dive properly.”
Pull the other one Johnny.
The youngest Tuivasa-Sheck brother is grinning ear to ear thanks to a 75th minute match winner that secured a stunning 30-28 comeback defeat of Penrith and the Holden Cup premiership.
Twenty-year-old Johnny, younger brother to former Roosters and current Warriors sensation Roger, ended up with the final try of the game after a long-range effort that ended with him falling awkwardly on his knee under the posts.
With an exasperated Chooks coach Anthony Barnes screaming expletives from the stands, Tuivasa-Sheck was helped from the field and watched from the sidelines as his teammates capped an incredible recovery after trailing 28-6 at halftime.
After fulltime the youngster was barely able to walk, and wasn’t able to complete the Roosters victory lap.

But Tuivasa-Sheck has now earned himself a start with the Roosters top grade squad over the summer thanks to 13 tries and over 100 tackle breaks in the under 20s this season.
“I couldn’t believe it when I got in the clear, I just kept going and hoped I got there,” Tuivasa-Sheck told foxsports.com.au.
“I don’t know what I’ve done to my knee. I’ll just deal with it in the off-season.
Making a beeline to family in the stands, Tuivasa-Sheck revealed that Kiwi fullback Roger was a notable absentee among the throng of relatives on grand final day.

“(Roger) came last week because he couldn’t make it this week. But to be honest I think he made it that way because he thought last week would be our last game — What a shocking brother,” he laughed.
“But no he’s the reason I’m here today to be honest with all his advice and everything.
“I came over with him to support him — it was a family decision. But I ended up getting a contract with the Roosters and now I can’t wait for next year.”

Warriors will probably snap him up for when manu retires.
He will be "homesick" soon enough just when he gets good.

Seems alot of players are homesick theses days, and it seems fine to break a contract because of it.

If these players are so homesick, then they should go home and not be able to play footy with another club until their contract is up, they can work behind a bar in their home town and be happy with a 40k salary because they are now with their family.

He is t up to 1st grade, makes way too many mistakes, Sussex under the high ball, only real attributes are he runs the ball hard and is a good bloke

He did improve alot this year compared to last, if he can improve that little bit more, he could become a decent 1st grade winger who wouldn't demand much coin, and wiuld be no worse than toops or copley.

Bingo!

This will highlight the big weakness in the Wyong arrangement .
If we want to move a young promising hooker up to reserve grade, we hit a roadblock in the form of an uncontracted player who's role is set in stone.
We need total control of our reserve grade team.
