Does Maiava have the ball carrying of an 8?
Just imagine the ball playing backline we could put out:
Read an article earlier in the year where Gordon said he’s focusing on 15 in the pro ranks. Could see him been a good utility in the coming years
Is 2024 a year too soon for him to play there for Rebels? Pieces would really be falling into place if we had a regular 15.
That's where O'Donnell might keep the spot. He's a Centre and played with Bowen a lot all the way back through High School
Don't know. He was the first name that came to mind.
Think he will be a good chance of been the 23 next year. Good back up for his brother and also 15
A little early, but in the same way most of our sides are playing young guys too much too early. It probably works best if Kellaway is on one wing to support him. If Kellaway has to shift to 13 to cover the lack of centres it might be a bit iffy, depending on who else is there to back Mason up.
Jorgensen is a perfect example of someone who has been overused too young. Like Petaia before him he would've benefited from a more managed exposure and ideally been fit for a trip to the under 20s world cup where he could get tournament, touring experience as a leader in the team.
a new flyhalf every game, but the same outside backs will likely have to play all 5
Good enough then old enough in my mind. Sport is littered with the best players been exposed at the youngest age. I personally think Jorgensen has been managed well this year. His current injury isn’t a wear and tear, it was an unlucky incident that could of happened in training.
