    Reckon this has been the strongest season in a long while for rookies coming into First Grade, reckon we could make a pretty decent 17 and would be interesting to look back on in a few years time. I'll start off with a few obvious ones;

    1. Latrell Mitchell
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6. Nathan Cleary
    7. Ashley Taylor
    8. Leilani Latu
    9.
    10. Daniel Saifiti
    11.
    12. James Fisher-Harris
    13.

    14.

    16.

    I'm struggling to think of other rookie wingers who have played more than a handful of games.

    I struggle to remember who the rookies are at the best of times.

  6. Lukic L Popovic

    Josh Aloiai has been pretty good for us in the 2nd row.

    Yeh both are good shouts, pretty rare to see rookie wingers who don't have glaringly obvious weaknesses to their game.

    Just trying to think of other rookie three-quarters;

    Josh Addo-Carr
    Joseph Manu
    Hymel Hunt
    Greg Eden
    Kerrod Holland
    Cory Denniss
    Curtis Scott
    Javid Bowen

    Cody Walker has been better this year than most on these lists.

    Hymel Hunt would have been a great shout if he didn't miss most of the season through injury. Still may sneak in.

    Opacic has been quite strong. He comes across as a bloke who will pump out 200 games but never reach origin.

    He isn't. Not even in the first 3.

    You think he's better than Taylor, Cleary and Mitchell? I assume they didn't appear in any highlights packages from games against the Warriors, so you wouldn't have seen them play.

    I've watched all of them play. Still reckon Vanivula will get rookie of the year though

    You can't include Whitehead IMO.

    Vunivalu has been quality, but can't see him getting rookie of the year over a spine player.
