While the annual NRL market frenzy is set to kick off in the coming weeks, we have taken a look internally to see who your club should lock down before they look externally.

5. Gold Coast Titans

Brenko Lee

One of the most hyper juniors coming through in recent memory, Brenko Lee struggled initially with the weight of expectation when he graduated from the NYC to the NRL at the Canberra Raiders. Following a quick stop at the Bulldogs and a move up to South Queensland with the Titans, Lee has finally found his feet under Titans coach Garth Brennan.

After signing an initial one-year deal with the Titans, Brennan impressed in his 14 games in 2018, contributing an impressive four tries, six try assists and 137 running metres per game. These impressive numbers earnt Lee another one-year extension on the glitter strip, tying him to the club until the end of the season.

After a pre-season focused on fitness and defence, Lee has started 2019 in similarly solid form. Averaging a similarly impressive 140 running metres per game while holding onto his trademark attacking instincts, looking extremely dangerous in his two games on the wing utilising his agility and size to beat defenders late at the line.

After signing back to back one-year extensions on the Gold Coast, do not be surprised to see the Titans lock down one of their most exciting prospects down to a longer-term deal.

  2. Te Marie Martin? Would most likely make a useful centre. He has pace & backs up. Still a useless 5/8th & sets up very little.
    Sione Katoa? If the juniors there come up with a useful hooker? That player would have an easy run into first grade. Nothing so far from either hooker that theyโ€™ve been using.

  3. The Roosters I hope re-sign Tetevano. Such a hard worker and all round top player. The rumour is getting louder and louder George Burgess wants a Roosters contract, but Pangai Junior is being linked with the Roosters also. We already have our own Pangai Junior in Taukeiaho, Tetevano is the bloke we need to retain regardless of who is linked or rumoured to be after a position at the Chooks. Sydney Roosters also need to make sure they retain development program rookie big prop Poasa Faamausili long term as they have with Lindsay Collins until 2022๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘
