Official Kade Dykes

Put Dykes at Fullback for Jets, covers Kennedy, Atkinson covers Five Eighth, Trindall can cover Hynes.

I think Tracey will get the green light to leave if he still wants to

Add to that he's effectively a new recruit for this year, we're all hoping (or maybe clutching at straws) he can be be a star (or better than average).

I just hope the fanbase shows patience with him. People need to remember he’s lost a whole year of his development, not to mention not everyone is quite the same after those kind of injuries.

I suspect he’s going to spend a chunk of the season with the Jets.

Yeah most guys take a good 12 months of playing before they get back to their best

If he doesn't play SOO next year he's a failure.

We are, on average, very high on Dykes. I think the name, the transition to NSW Cup followed quickly by decent look in NRL (and throw in actually jumping excellent backup Miller for the backup role), and the the time in coaches box all contribute to him having a fair bit of excited interest from us fans.

I think it’s on all the old players names; Rogers, Sorenson’s, Dykes and Healey. (Rogers and Sorenson from previously, whilst dykes and Healey now)

Though we can talk about them coming thru the lowers but whether they succeed it’s on them. Hopefully they don’t get too much pressure to live up to their folks name .

I don’t reckon he will take very long to get firing

For sure the names ain’t nothing

Healey I like because how often he does good work in other players highlight, the best of others often began with good work from him

I think people have moderated over the years... he'll get at least until half time before he's asked to move on.

That’s my point. Every one was going off about the next Rogers. He didn’t make it. You get that. hopefully he would find his way in a different

Yeah I’m thinking of Tracey as already gone. I’d like to be wrong.

I hexed him by saying he was going to be the next big thing

Too many question marks in the backs to let Connor go now I reckon.

Sifa’s role , Kade returning from ACL , is Iro up to it defensively ?

I reckon he stays for this coming season ..

He didn’t want to do uni or get an apprenticeship which was a requirement at the time with the club to play 20s, so we parted ways

A few others…

Monty Raper
Jack Gould
Mick Roach
Jack A. Williams (Reg Gasnier’s grandson)
Trace Davidson

I’d say when you a teenager having a name probably opens a few doors, but once you are 21-22 you only stick around if you are good enough.

A dare say that there is a likely a whole lot of pygmalion effect for players with famous names/bloodlines who do make it.

The Don's son actually changed his name, too much pressure.
