Message: [QUOTE="The Don, post: 3152653, member: 11393"] Erin Clark is in my opinion serviceable at dummy half, however hasn't shown anything that has said the hooker spot is mine. Depth at best from what I have seen. Jonus Pearson I thought went relatively well on the wing early in the season. Been injured for most of it though and will probably not return so jury is still out there. I will admit I am probably not your man in terms of junior development for the rest of them however we do have a few who are passionately into it on the Titan's forum so I will reflect what they have said. Sexton has probably had the biggest wraps on him out of our juniors and will probably be progressively moved into the halves in a year or two. From what I can tell similar to Dearden in that he is our best young half option (no ISC etc. might slow him down slightly). Pretty sure everyone sees him as our long term no.6 with him impressing so much in the preseason some were hoping for a debut this year. Trey Spry had a couple of games for us recently on the wing and carried the ball strongly which has been one of the big issues with our back three. Didn't get to see large amounts of him but seems to have potential. I don't know much about Compain other than he has been extremely well rated coming through the ranks. There is a massive wall on him in Titans forum that is very comprehensive but I'll try give you the general gist of it. Essentially they compare him very strongly to Fifita as an "intense aggressive well-rounded backrower with the ability to break the line by himself or as a result of running a good line, Juwan Compain then has enough speed to break into space prior to looking for his support players." Had very good seasons in a number of lower grade competitions and should be looking for his debut in 2021 supposedly. Darius Farmer is from my knowledge a second rower that has been strongly compared to Inglis. Obviously take that with a grain of salt. Apparently he brings "size, skill and speed" with many predicting him to debut at the start of this year. Think from memory he overcame cancer last year which had been effecting his performances and has been training the house down ever since. Very promising with our junior development guy on the forum reckoning he will surprise many on his debut so looking forward to it. Expected to play this year so not sure how we are going there. If you want more in depth analysis of the juniors especially I am happy to delve deeper into finding out more. Clark and Pearson have had some NRL appearances though so will mainly go off those as going off performances in weaker comps can be misleading as we all know. From all early reports though sounds like we are starting to keep some of our best juniors. [/QUOTE]
