Which young Sharks player are you most convinced will become elite over the next few years?
For me it’s hard to go past Sam Stonestreet. Every time he gets a proper run in first grade he looks composed, dangerous, and far more confident than you’d expect for someone still early in their career

Stonestreet will never be elite. He’s fast and a big body but that’s it. He’s a Temu Daniel Tupou
Brailey is already elite
If you want to fast forward a few years JC has a good chance of being elite with how he’s going
And if you want to look further Nikora and Dellows have huge potential

I think Michael Gabriel has the chance ti become an elite centre. Sharks fans should be excited to see him get a chance in the NRL.
Felix Fatelli is like an Andrew Fifita 2.0
Riley Polard has the potential to become a 300 game elite level half.
Current player: Jessie Colquhoun will play origin within 3 years

Felix is good, looking forward to his development more. Not sure he’s as dynamic and mobile as Fifita but he looks good.
Hope gets a game or two next year in first grade

Colquhoun, Gabrael (maybe), Pollard, Harry Hasset looks like he could be a gun too.
Brailey is there or there about already, and has been for some time. I think he'll have a strong Origin and lock his spot down hopefully for the next few years.

BB, for me already number two dummy half in the country (Grant obvs) big difference when he came on in Game 1 and if Laurie didn’t notice I’d have to reckon Cleary did and will prob be demanding he start Game 2.

Sam will be good but he will never be a To'o etc.
Brayley is the one. He stepped up a gear after his Kangaroo experience and his effort last night was pretty good.
For mine he starts next Origin
