Am I the only one that's really really excited about the future of Tevita Pangai? He's going to be so good.
Nope, I'm also very excited about his prospects. He handled the step up to first grade extremely well and the future is bright for him.

Da **** you moving the worlds best fullback to halfback, & a centre to fullback that has never played there before
If we need a halfback, just buy one or give a rookie a go. Don't go forcing multiple position changes to settle one position

What was exciting was his top-range acceleration. Smaller guys like Milford have their best acceleration in the first few steps. Roberts has an excellent mid-range (5-10 metres) which allows him to hit top speed quite fast. But Allan seemed to have another gear going from 10 - 20 metres where he pulled away from those that looked to be on par with him.
As for Haas, I'd love to be proven wrong, but looks just like a million other islanders who have matured 2-3 years earlier than the rest of their age group.

I know you can't keep them all, and not vouching for the quality but the Storm NYC squad has nine straight out of Brisbane junior clubs.. mostly Easts. No surprise as they are a feeder, but maybe we need to wrestle that turf back from storm like we did by reclaiming Souths Logan from the raiders. Also a sprinkle of kids from around Toowoomba and Yepoon which I think we used to pick up in the past.

I think you're flattering the Broncos as well johnny, I counted 15 in the media guide all from the Queensland Rugby League scene.
Granted, I believe the Broncos have the better prospect in most cases, but still it's tough to see a player like Beau Fermor kill it. He's a Dalby product and the Broncos could really use him in their backrow.
Still, I don't think the Broncos U/20s line-up is anything to sneeze at either.

I can envision him being a real Payne in the Haas to opposition defenders in the near future.

Too soft, make him rewatch videos of Maranta in action on an endless cycle.

I'd love to see a Gif of him running to the corner but there's an inperceptible loop, so he keeps running and running but never gets there.
