Asu Kepaoa?

If they have an injury in the centres then Crighton would move to the centres & Liu would move to the backrow, If Tedesco got injured Morris to FB Manu to wing & Crigton to centre & Liu to the backrow. If Keary got injured Maubs to 5/8 & Crighton to centre & Liu to backrow. The other 3 on my bench would cover the middle rotation.

Traditionally Robbo likes to carry a utility on the bench no reason to think that is going to change in 2019, will likely be 3 forwards and then either Radley or Maubs as the 4th guy this year.

Im only talking about the World Club Challenge. If its the NRL then Latrell is in the centres & Maubs on the bench.

I'd have Maubs in the centres over Ikavalu, and give Silly Farmer a run off the bench.
But Mickie and me dont add up to Robbo.

And..................can Kepoa be any good if I've never heard of him?

Geezus these big and fast centres just keep rolling off our production line!

Guessing it's not that hard to look at a bunch of 14 y/os, see the big islander/indigenous dude who is like 190cm already and be like 'hey man 2 options... 1 you hit the bongs + pills + Maccas for the next 5 years and be a big fat kid who would be awesome if he had a brain left and got fit... 2 you come train with us, NEVER touch the death sticks, eat our diet, get an ATAR of 85+, defer your uni for footy and you'll be on $350k+ by the age of 21, totally hook up your family, make your culture proud and have a future salary potential of $800k+ a year... your call man!!!'

It rings a bell with some and they become the next Latrell Mitchell or Joey Manu.

Brock Lamb was given the opportunity to travel over but only if he paid his way, given he was yet to spill blood for the team. He declined.

Were Chrichton & Morris treated the same way?

[Moose]

yes

Future winger? No place in the centres if Lats and Manu stay.
Maybe he replaces Hall and Morris in 2 years time?

The Chooks signed a young guy from NZ called Christian Tuipulotu. He is only 18 but regarded by many as the next big thing. There was an article about a year ago when the Chooks invited him to their Queenstown camp. He has been named in their Jersey Flegg squad. I hope we get the chance to see him play at the trial in Gosford. He has huge wraps on him and I’d say if he lives up to the hype, in 2 years time if not before he will be in the 1st grade backline.

We've got everyone locked up in the backs for the next two years. From 2021 we'll have Teddy, Toops, and at least one of Latrell or Joey. Whether we can keep both of them might depend on what happens with the half back situation. Of the 2 vacant spots, hopefully one is taken by Joey/Latrell, as for the other, I'm not convinced of Ikuvalu or Lewis (happy to be proven wrong), so maybe Tuipulotu or Billy Smith might be options. Or, who knows, maybe Hall or Morris might still be playing good footy.

[Intercept]

Anyone got any idea how to pronounce this young fella's surname? 'Kepper-o-uh'? 'Ke-power'? 'Kep-ay-o-uh'? Something else? Out of respect, I always like to try to get a person's name right but I've truly got no clue about this one!

I can see us keeping Latrell, Keary and Teddy. All other backs will be up for grabs. Salary cap wont allow us to keep the others.

A backline of Teddy, Kepaoa, Lats, Keary, Lam, Smith, Tuipulotu could be the future?
