I sense a bit of a chip on your shoulder regarding Randwick and Private schools.
No he didn’t play in the u18’s, but he is playing for Waratahs dev team against the Brumbies XV this weekend. So an even bigger endorsement.

No
As far as randwick selections go. You do the numbers ( tah selections ) vs there GF appearances
not all. Trying to gage what his done that’s all. hasn’t made any serious teams that’s all. Tahs development team isn’t won either especially looking at brumbies line up for a full time contract

What teams would you like him to have made? He's been the best player in GPS rugby for the past couple of seasons. The best part about him is that he is a fullback and we just don't seem to have many of those. There would have to be an amazaing player in Qld for him not to be the Aust U18 fullback this year.

Great looking forward to watching him dominate Shute shield

Bang on about Fullback. When you look at the Tahs squad and starting backline players (Edmed, Donaldson, Foketi, Perese, Nawaquinatawase, Pietsch, Harrison) No out and out Fullback in those names. In time he'll do well.
He couldn't have done anything more at this stage of his playing. Has been one of the best players on the field every time he's played. He was included in the Aus U20s squad while he's still at school and tbf would have been good enough to be included for the Oceania Comp.
This is a good thing that Rugby has kept talent and NSW was able to keep in state to make it even better. I love how the team is growing with other signings of Bowen, Harrison, Wilson bros, Dowling. I have also been keeping an eye on O'Donnell at Syd Uni who is a genuine 12 with good size who had time in 1st Grade this year but was included in the Tahs trials earlier in the season. Was outstanding with Bowen for View before a knee injury and the Covid shut down.

Hasn’t made any serious teams???? What serious teams do you suggest he should have made while a schoolboy??
What serious teams had Joe Sua'ali'i made when the NRL snapped him up? But nah. We shouldn’t chase after these guys until they have done 5 years in club rugby. That’s how we improve the Tahs, and the game in Australia…..
More interested in him becoming a decent unit for the Tahs

Doesn’t look “short”. But I wouldn’t put him above 1.9m
if he was 1.9m, he would have been signed by an NRL side

Roosters and bulldogs were going hard at him apparently.

Not huge but more than enough. Hard to think of a comparison in Rugby at the moment but physically seems similar to a Billy Slater. His athletic ability makes up for any lack of an inch or 2.
Every chance he's also not fully grown also so I don't think it's a concern

Lets just hope he's as good as or a bit better than his dad, lets not compare him to the great FB league has ever produced just yet lol

Agree. I was purely doing it to answer a question about his physical dimensions.

You wonder if they’ll move people along from the concourse? Better place to watch from unless you have primo seats
