Xavier Roe at Half Back.
Wait, what? I know he's been starting a lot but his service has been painfully slow., he's a lean down look around type. He's like a non ginga Christie.
Which uncapped 9 would you select ahead of him?

Hastie is the only other uncapped 9 who has played meaningful minutes... I suppose Preston maybe?

Preston is a bit sloppy under pressure at this stage, so Roe ahead of him for me. I don't have an opinion on Hastie.

Roe definitely the best of the uncapped, but obviously a moot point in terms of the ABs, because there are four capped options who are miles ahead. Funaki would be the highest potential of the active uncapped, but he has been injured all year.

That team sure does have an excellent attack considering they suffer such terrible service then.

Well DMac can sometimes work wonders with slow ball, and Ratima comes on too.
@Crazy-Horse Pffft, I didn't read the parameters of the discussion, I was just rating him in a vacuum.

Having a look at that team, you realise how stacked that u20 2022 team was. Shame they didn’t get the opportunity to play the proper competition
