  • Watched the under 20's today

    And was very impressed with Kane Evans ( I think it was Kane) the front rower. Looks a real good player in the making......wouldnt mind seeing him in the front row with Kennedy one day.

    Also I know there has been alot of talk about Moga but I actually liked the look of the other centre Rona. Moved really well and looked to have a bit of size to him.

    Others that looked ok were Ethan Lowe, Wells the fullback (although a bit small) and the halfback was quite sharp.

    Rona has been great since moving to the centres from the backrow. How good was his move on the penrith centre for the second try! It hardly got a mention from the commentators. Wells looks a great prospect. He breaks the line with a shimmy and great pace. Still not as good a fullback as Alofa imo but with a bit more size and work under the high ball. Btw Evans and Napa both look like awesome bookends. One's a big Fijian, the other a rednut QLDer...future looks bright when it comes to front row stocks when you add these two to the current crop. Napa looks a real enforcer. Searching for big hits this week and last.

      Evans has probably been the most consistent performer this year.

      It's a very good team now that the SG Ball boys are starting to get some games under their belts, a good chance of making the top 8 with a late charge.

        Evans was really good. Very strong, made good metres and played pretty good minutes. Not ready for first grade yet, but we should be signing him up for another three years.

          I think Wells is off to the Tits? I think he is a product from Benji's touch footy school comp?
          Evens keeps impressing, both centres looked good.
          Future looking brighter for these kids.

            I hope not, he's a cut above a lot of the other juniors.

              I pretty sure it's Alofa who's going to the titans, not a 100% sure though.

                  Yeah agree. Don't know whether he's a 6 though. He looks more of a running type.....could see him developing into a nice centre.

                  As for the front rowers, I liked Napa from the bits I saw. He's got a bit of aggression to his game and didn't mind mixing it with the Panthers forwards.

                    Kane Evans is already training with the full time squad, would love to see him get a game off the bench sometime this season, would be great encouragement to train hard in the offseason.

                    Wells has already signed with the Titans, he is a gold coast boy and was happy to head home, not sure how many more games he will play this season as there is no point helping his development as we will see no benefit, once Alofa Alofa returns from injury he should hold his place for the rest of the season.

                      I liked our centre. The 4. Big maori kid. That try he set up early in the game shows he has a good football brain. Put it on a platter for his winger, who was also impressive.

                        Sorry, just saw you mentioned the same guy. Yep I was astounded his in and away didnt get more of a rap. It was great footwork.

                            Evans is a future first grader, the other prop was good as well.

                            Moga didn't get any ball the only time he got it with space he made a long break.

                              Yeah, skipped to the outside of his marker very easily. Got a bit lost trying to position his support though and ran himself out of room. He reminds me of a young Soliola, just hope he develops a lot more than Soli did and doesn't lose his pace or footwork.
