From the limited game time I’ve seen, I have TSS over Zyon Maiu’u. Zyon Maiu’u more impact but TSS bigger motor and more reliable.

Gutless move to be honest. You could see he knew what he was doing, he paused to think about it then went ahead and tried to damage the player.
It was cowardly.
A few silly mistakes, youthful exuberance but he looks frighteningly good for one so young. So good to see some decent junior talent that’s been lost to Oz since that feckin bat flu
Agree his kicking game on Saturday was better than both TMM and Metcalfe put together, and his goal kicking was solid
TSS looks a 1st grade 10 plus year player. Basics on point, effort plays and only playing 40 mins approx per game. His motor indicates he could go 80 no worries. One of those guys team mates love playing with.
Some of the NSW Cup players could force their way into the first grade side this weekend - a lot to play for
Are there rules against players who have played first grade that week to play NSW?
Zyon Maiu’u had 15 odd minutes on a Thursday. I would assume that him getting another 30 mins from the Bench for NSW on a Saturday would be doable but I don't know the rules.

It has definitely happened before. I think it's just a load management thing.
If a player can play origin on Weds and club Friday/Saturday, then I'm sure Zyon Maiu’u will be fine.
I thought Metcalf had made big strides in developing his kicking game in his limited appearances this year.

He was just starting to gel with RTS and looking more comfortable in directions along side SJ.
Shame he was injured and that has put us back into another learning curve.
I wouldnt risk it, considering the Injury's we have in the front row
He'sgonna be important for us & in for a big couple of weeks before anyone else returns back.
Taine had a mean game last week looked a level above, he kicked, ball played, and was always in a good position at fullback
Scored a try too.
It must be hard to get many 5th tackle plays alongside SJ but he had returns of 50m, 13m, 64m & 31m (although just 9 mins) before the latest injury. While we did score off one of his bombs earlier in the year he's had no Forced Drop outs in his 23 matches to date.
Probably a bit harsh of me to put him in the same category as TMM, as I believe it's a skill it seems he actively wants to develop, but he's still got a long way to go in that department

Yeah mate. Hasn't played a lot of NRL and needs more time.
Has a lot of potential having been through the Aussie system. Halves are very scarce as we know

Metcalf 23 games.
Tmm 80 + games.
Both very talented
Getting combinations is the major problem
He's got a huge few weeks coming up in the nrl, I would let him just get his head around that. He was good on debut so I think he goes again.
Eddie Ieremia-Toeava is still a bit raw. But boy, That kid has so much potential. We all talk about Halasima & Sifakula. But young Eddie after a full season with the big boys could be anything next year. Sio Kali too. The future looking so good for our club. If we can keep them all.
