U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

Just watched highlights of the NSW u17s vs Warrington Wolves in league, with Talen Risati and Cyrus Bloomfield both playing. From that quick video it looked like they were two of NSW best. Would have been good to have them go around next year for Aus 18s again.

Would love to keep both of those backs but low probability. Talent in front row is looking awesome.

Unless they sign for rugby league they will go around again. Risati could be very special. A playmaker with that athleticism is so rare.

Is Risati not signed not to the Eels? I assumed with him being in Year 12 this year that he wouldn't be playing any union after leaving school

Thought he was in yr 11? He’s in parramatta’s academy but hasn’t officially signed with them… yet.

I was just going off this post that came up, I thought he was in year 11 as well

Pretty confident that's an error. Risati and Bloomfield are yr11. Lavercomb and Fonua are yr 12.

He has been in the Eels system. Fear he'll be like fellow Kings old boy Will Penisini and end up in that God tortured Club.
