Kurt Mann!

The kid has star written all over him. Hold really high hopes for him after seeing him train in the off season and play in the trials. If he's fortunate enough to get a game or two in first grade, then I expect to see him flash his potential.

Tohu Harris. Specially after watching him play 65+ minutes in the WCC. Reminds me a lot of Adam Blair when he was younger. Maybe a little bigger and quicker.

Also I'm really keen on seeing Hampton get a crack in first grade.

I would say that Tohu is definitely quicker than Blair

Harris..

We've all had raps on him. Let's see if he delivers. Nice call whoever made the Adam Blair comparison.

I'm interested in seeing how Ben Hampton and Kurt Mann perform at a first-grade level if either of them receive an opportunity this season. They've both got a wealth of potential and if they manage to maintain a good attitude they have the ability to become consistent first-graders.

And as most of you are, I'm also excited about Harris and watching him develop as a footballer. Hopefully he can continue to produce consistent football, particularly whilst Proctor is on the sideline through injury.

Yep ! I'm interested in how Ben kicks off in first grade & hopefully stays healthy but Tohu really blitzed it in the WCC.
Let's hope he uses that 'flame of fortune' as a base to build consistency on ;)

here's another one, mahe fonua or richie kennar? in an ideal world they'll both blossom into long term first graders for our club, but, which one will be better? at the moment, mahe has the inside running because he's in first grade, but, i think richie may well end up the better player.

Had a feeling Harris would lead the way, but I'm actually surprised that Fonua hasn't had a vote, yet.
