Pre-Season Photos and Player Identification

[Tiger Shark]

He only played one game for the Jets. He smashed up the 20’s though.

I think he's referring to Talakai not Hazelton

So Tiger - we’re pretty confident now that all 3 pics are Hazelton. Shows how much a haircut and 3 months in the gym can change how someone looks. Even as recently as August he was still looking like a big kid growing into his body.

Big test for him this year. He had such a physical advantage over his peers. Looking forward to seeing how he competes when he doesn’t have that.

Yep, seems like it's him. Interesting to see how he goes.

Cheers. Makes sense.

 

[Tiger Shark]

It's not a huge insight but they mention Talakai is training with the NRL Squad in the recent article about the Jets Presso night.

Good result, he was excellent all year.

I'm thinking now that our mystery Joliffe lookalike could possibly be Connor Luhan. I don't say that with any degree of confidence but it's the best I've got.

Also - this is Vito Tevaga

and this is Kyle Paterson

[Tatus]

Who’s the monster in the bucket hat? Guy on the background doesn’t look small either

 

[Tiger Shark]

That's Franklin Pele

He's a huge mofo

Played Flegg this year, mostly off the bench as an impact prop. Certainly made an impact. Teams signature move was inside ball to Pele 10m out. Scored heaps.

Made Aus Schoolboys last year.

Will need to work on his fitness, as he gets gassed pretty quick but a good offseason and more minutes will no doubt help. He's probably too good for Flegg this year, not sure if he can play even but he should play for the Jets this year imo. I think this might be his first pre season with the top squad so he'll be better for it.

And I think the guy in the far background is Talakai, not sure who the whitey is in between.

 

[BurgoShark]

The “Whitey” is Connor Luhan.

Another mystery man.

Best guess it’s one of the 20’s guys but I really have no idea. I believe this is the same player from one of the earlier posts.

I’m also now leaning towards that Joliffe lookalike possibly being Cooper Bowen... but I’m still struggling there.

.. and so is this fella next to Xerri. He is another one I definite recognise but can’t put a name to off the top of my head.

There is one other bloke in those pics I’m not sure on. Will add him later if I can’t figure it out.

Also - as mentioned elsewhere, Soro is in a couple of the Xmas pics so it looks like he as at least around for pre season training.

The guy next to Xerri is Mawene Hiroti.

Nice find.

That names rings a bell actually, think I recall us or the Jets picking him up a while back. Made the Team of the year I think.
