Nice... The big question will be whether they can improve on Wynnum's dial-up level streams

I'll be interested to watch the backrowers to see if there is any depth there
11. Tristan Powell... Although is he more of a prop? I'm still interested to see how he goes coming from the storm system
12. Jaiyden Hunt
22. Jett Bryce... he's basically our only second rower coming through, so I'm hoping to see some promising signs
Outside back depth is also non-existent so I'm interested to see what options we have there as well
4. Hoeter... has done a job for us in the past... and was surprisingly good on the wing... but how will he go as a 30yr old coming off a major knee injury
3. Karapani... happy to see that we re-signed him and I hope he can kick on. If he can play a bit of wing then I think he's a player that Madge would like with his efforts in yardage
15. Leota... has he improved at all
2. Hopoate... seems the type of winger that Madge would like (Pereira workhorse style), but is still a 26yr old train and trial, so not giving it much hope
1. Latrell Siegwalt... know nothing about him, but he's been getting a lot media so it will be interesting to see what he's got
And then obviously interested in seeing how the young guys coming through are looking
8. BTK
17. Coby
20. Bukowski
Jock and Josh are whatever... I'm hoping Jock kills it, because we probably need him to move on from the club for some cap space.
Not sure about the rest
Big Pete anyone else we should be on the look out for?

I think people will be impressed by Innes if he gets on the field for long enough. Has a good combination with Coby coming up through Marsden together - good on the wing but imo better at fullback

You've covered most of them, Philitoga is one of those blue chip players who could give Madge something to think about come the Origin period. 13 tries from 13 games in QCup, so he can finish off tries and he moves well. We'll see how he's taken to the pre-season, he's been picked ahead of Vaihu and Leota which could be a good sign - although it may say more about Leota than anything else.
I'd like to see how he works the ball out of trouble, how he handles himself in defence and with kick diffusions. Also his decision making in space and whether he buys himself time or just pins the ears back and hopes for the best.
West was the best colts player a couple of years ago and was a very handy replacement for Chester in QCup. I don't think he'll play NRL, but I think he's ready to make his mark in QCup. I just want to see how he handles himself with Maguire's structures, if he can break tackles and how he handles himself in defence.
Otherwise Powell was the pick of the bunch. I harped on last year about the lack of Liam Henry esque signings and Powell is the type of player I'm thinking of. It's not great that he's been picked on an edge, but I'll still be looking to how he asserts himself physically and just how often he keeps himself in the play. Players like him have to take a note from Hosking and demand as much footy as they can possibly get.
Of the young guns, I want Scott to turn heads. I'm impressed everytime I watch Horne play and wouldn't be shocked if he's playing NRL by 2026.
