Get in!

 

[Foordy]

It will be awesome news once he officially puts pen to paper

 

[Mitch06]

**** yeah!

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Comes across as a really well grounded young bloke who should go far. Great news for the club.

 

[Sproj]

Once we get that signature, I'll be fist pumping all night.

 

[BroncosAlways]

Good news, I still haven't bought into all the Joe O hype just yet though. NYC and NRL are two different things, and I hate players being hyped up because of their surname.

Still, I hope he plays as well as his potential says and becomes one of our long term backrow options.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

This just further proves that these kids are desperate to be coached by Wayne Bennett. The man is a god in their eyes.

Good signing.

 

[Unbreakable]

Great news.

I haven't been blown away by his performances this year, but he's only 19! There's no substitute for size, motor and hard work, which appear to be his 3 best traits. He'll be starting for us within the next couple of years.

 

[jarro65]

He should really flourish under Bennetts coaching too.

A very good signing indeed.

Good stuff!

Joe has some way to go yet in actualising his potential in first grade. I do think we're handling his development well though, splitting his time across all three grades /comps. Have faith he'll come good.

 

[Hug-Pug]

Good signing, can't wait to see him develop into a fringe Origin player over the next three years.

Agreed.....I'm the same, whilst hopeful I haven't seen too much from him yet for me to think he's a superstar.

Curious, what do you mean about his last name. I haven't heard of it before as a past great/player?

His uncle was a rugby union and Wallaby great, nicknamed "Willie O". Pretty fierce forward and I dare say that's what Joe will be compared to in his career.

Ahhh......I'm not a great follower of yawnion. Cheers!

 

[Big Pete]

Ofahengaue will never be a star in a SBW or Burgess sense but he can definitely hold his own in the middle.

Will take a year or two before we really get a sense of where he's at as a first grader but he's definitely one to look for.

The difference with J Offa is his fitness and stamina. Any big kid can dominate juniors and through NYC.

Joe is a big kid, with a big motor and started out as a centre (I believe?) so he has agility too. Give him a full season and another off-season with Bennett.

He's Petero 2.0 if he keeps his head straight and does the hard work.
