Official Samuel Stonestreet

I sincerely hope we don't bother re-signing him just because he's already here and it's the easy option.
Well we need a second winger on the books next year at this stage. I'd prefer him over pretty well anyone on the market.
 
He's 24 in July, whilst not old he's not exactly some unheralded rookie. I just don't see anything about his game that makes me want him in first grade here.
 
I can counter that with he's ordinary under the high ball, not nearly as fast as a lot of wingers and gets smashed most of the time when he does hit it up. Pretty much every try he's scored would be scored by any NSW Cup winger.

Just don't see it, sorry lads.

Still a work in progress for sure, but he's on the up. Katoa isn't. So out of those two I'd take Sam. I also think his hit ups have been much improved this year, and he's had some good games under the high ball, some bad ones too. He's also the fastest in our side, so it's still a bonus.

That said, I'm not expecting him to be a world beater. If we signed an elite winger I wouldn't be upset. There's a chance he is usurped by someone like Williams in 2 years or so.
 
He isn't going to be a rep player, but he is improving and that's about all we can ask for

Think of players like Feki, Katoa ect. there was alot of issues in their game they had to fix up when they came into first grade and it took a bit of time but they got there

Our wingers are getting hung out to dry by our inside defense

100%, they have no chance.

I like SS' attitude this year. He is really running with some venom in those tough carries.
