Review of matches for JTS players transitioning to QCUp and NRL

[toddythetitan]

For me from your lines, Thomas Weaver has the highest ceiling of the halves, the second list is a tough one because all three are outstanding, heck tough one and Verills stands out on relation to the hookers.

I think Keano Kini ends up at fullback, AJ at five eight, Weaver at half and Verills at hooker with Tannah in the No. 14 jersey and Jayden Campbell in the centres or wing.

Thanks mate really value your opinion and appreciate the insight and time you give everyone, sounds like a very exciting future for us
