We used to have lists of young guns waiting in the wings that we would be pumped on also,
Maybe its just my naivety or a lack of youthful positivity ,but I cant think of one young gun Im itching to see step up.
Lehi Hopoate is a talent, has been playing very well in NSW cup, for me Schoup is a fringe type player, similar to Paulo, Ray Ray and Parker, you go into the pack and it’s a similar storyline.
For me they would have been better off giving Hoppa an upgrade or Faulalo, reason is Faulalo is in the 30 next season, don’t know what is going to make him a better or worse player in 8 months time.
Done deal now so it raises more questions than answers for me.
1. Ray Ray will most likely not be offered a gig next year.
2. Is Faulalo good enough, even though he is part of the 30 in 2025.
3. Paulo hasn’t shown the form for a player you get for 3 seasons.
4. Was the deal done with Schuster hurting the cap more than has been out in the media.
5. Recruiting teams lack of vision in looking at younger players not getting an opportunity at another club.
6. 2025 squad has another fringe player along with, James, Faulalo, and Matterson in the 30.
