Emerging Roosters players

[zac]

I'm interested to see how Sitili develops this year. With Cords, Gus and Aubo locking down edge forward positions looks like any chances he gets will be in the middle. Not sure that's his best spot, but the bloke can do good things.

There is a young fella by the name of Elih Jackson that has caught my eye playing in the back row at the Bears last year. I think he progressed from Jersey Flegg during the year and whilst I am not sure of his absolute quality he leaves nothing in the sheds. Whilst he doesn't seem to have the 'boom' on him that some others do, if he doesn't make it to first grade, it won't be attitude that lets him down. I'd be interested to know if anyone else rates him and in particular, to know if the coaches think he has a future at the Roosters.

I think he will hit the weights and bulk up a bit. His defense is a little bit sus. Has a great running game. Goes hard.

I miss the NYC being played on match days when you can watch the youngsters... I wish Jersey Flegg games can be played as curtain raisers.

I actually think he will end up developing into a front rower. He's got the frame and the athleticism to take over from JWH when he retires

Yes, so do I. I think many or most of them are played at North Sydney Oval along with Bears games. While I will try and watch them next season, it isn't the same as having all three grades at your home ground, like the good old days. I presume that there are concerns at the amount of 'traffic' using the SCG, hence where we are currently. Hopefully, this situation will improve somewhat when we move back to the new SFS.

Skip to 1:40, he’s the number 15. Deadset close to the worst defensive play I can recall seeing at Canterbury Cup level. Robinson would almost have put a line through his name after seeing that.

Yep. That ain't good! Talk about ball-watching! Though it is just one play in a long season. I can forgive him that if he learns from it and never does it again.

Kepaoa has a bit of centre about him. Reckon he’s in the wings

I dont think he has the mongrel in him to take over from JWH in the front row.
To me he is a Hugh McGahan clone & has all the makings of a great edge player & if he excels like I think he will I think another club will buy him to play in their run on side.

Still only young, hopefully he sticks around for a while anyway
