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.

15. Sydney Roosters

Zane Tetevano

After almost being lost to the game due to off-field issues, Zane Tetevano has come good on the promise he displayed in his early years at the Knights.

Cementing himself as an enforcer off the bench for the Roosters in 2018, Tevevano was a more than capable understudy for representative props Dylan Napa and Jared Waerea Hargreaves, maintaining the momentum created by the two in the initial stages.

Tetevano averaged 99 running metres and 21 tackles across his 27 games in limited minutes across 2018, establishing himself as a favourite of coach Trent Robinson.

Tetevano is one of the finer substitute forwards in the competition, maintaining momentum and quality whether coming off the bench or starting for the Bondi boys. After the Roosters showed faith in the troubled Tetevano to sign him in 2017, I would be surprised to see him elsewhere unless the Roosters opt against re-signing him for 2019.

  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 they’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 2022💪🐔👍
