Nawaqanitawase will play!

[Inflictor]

Group 1 Marky Mark. Get him in The Everest ffs.

The next dual international. I think he is going to play for Fiji. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he plays SOO one day.

At just 23 this bloke is going to be a star. I hope he stays longer than two years.

There is so much to like about Marky Mark. That try, I think it was only his second or third touch was awesome. I agree it will be great if he can make it as a centre. That's were we will need him next year.
Before than however, he needs to fix his defensive reads. Watching the replay this morning, he also got pushed back a few times when bringing the ball back. Reminds me of how Toops used to get pushed back as well earlier on in his career. The good thing is that both of these can be fixed.
He looks so strong, and will be a huge prospect.

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Mark looked classy. He should be playing first grade in 2025.

[Archelon]

Marky Mark is already showing more tricks than Dom Young and feel so much safer under the high ball…

[Chook2]

Think he will be a great right centre
doesn’t have as much pace as young but loves contact and tackle breaks and great in the air

[HunchoRooster]

He's a Trojan. Looks the goods already and an amazing athlete. Get his defence right and we are looking at a special player.

[Renman]

I don't want to jump the gun but after a couple of years in centre he could be a cracker of a FB. Aerial skills, intelligence and pure athletic ability makes him a great prospect.

I can see were you are coming from but I don't know whether he has the ball playing skills to be a FB.

[theGman]

Toia in the centres 2025 anyone?

We're all wax lyrical about a bloke who went very well on debut however, has only played 4 games of Rugba League since 15yo.

Depth and versatility looking good.

Yeh I said this earlier in the year, for me he looks the more likely to make it at centre.

There was one play where he put Manu away on the outside that just screamed centre. Caught the ball on the inside, looked to run straight, stepped off his left to leave the opposition centre clutching at thin air and then drew in the winger to put Manu away down the outside.

Looks a very good prospect for next year.

[bondi paul]

Marky got out of rugby at the right time.

[Chook2]

Certainly don’t want not any injuries but if we do to the back 5 we certainly have some good cover
Marky N, b smith, toia and pauga can easily fit in
