Brother in Rebels academy as well been close to best in current Victorian crop as a hooker. Could potentially be a triple swoop if things were to go a certain way.

That's the best in/out list out of all the groups. Shame to see Ramm & Horton go, thought they had promise. But Beale & Latu are some heavy hitters (including the literal heavy hitter Nadolo).

(including the literal heavy hitter Nadolo).

Hopefully he can still hit and isn't just heavy.

Yep. They haven't weakened in any area.

Outside back would of been a concern ahead of last season but the performance Pietsch was putting in by the end of the last season put that away for me. Hopefully him and Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) stay fit and healthy. Holz development was also a great sight.

2nd Row is the biggest worry but they did pick Seu. Don't know much about him but physically he's there.

 

[Tah Man]

From the Roar..

Not short of options at hooker or in the back row

 

[Derpus]

From the Roar..

If he recovers I expect we will see a fair bit of Swinton at lock. Backrow is stacked.

 

[fatprop]

Seems a certain ruthlessness with the cutting as well

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

Some interesting Shute Shield names in the NSW development squad playing in Canberra in a couple of weeks. Sateki Latu (Warringah), Ben Houston (Randwick), Ratu Tuisese (Eastwood), Hunter Ward (Manly), Michael Icely (Eastwood), Jack McGregor (Gordon), Alex Pohla (Gordon), James Hendren (Randwick), Dan O'Brien (Randwick), Esera Chee-Kam (Warringah)

I wonder if many/any are getting signed or they are just filling out the squad.

Alex Pohla is electric.
Jack McGregor could also be a very handy option at FB.

Max Jorgensen signed - not sure in what capacity but a very good player I hear.

That's a good get for the tahs and Australian Rugby in general. There was apparently a lot of interest from League.

Yes, is and has been through the age grades:

The Tahs, meanwhile, announced the promotion of outside back Max Jorgensen – son of former Wallaby Peter – to the full squad from their academy.

Jorgensen is currently in Year 12 at St Joseph’s College and has spent three years in the NSW system representing the Waratahs Academy at U15, U16, and U18 age levels.

He was a member of the Junior Wallabies program this year and has been named in the Waratahs Development team to take on a Brumbies XV on Saturday.
