Whether or not Heamasi debuts 2025 we won’t see the best of him until 2026. And he will start 2026. I think I recall reading somewhere he is still attending school 2025, finishing HSC so not sure how that affects his footy next year at the club. But I’m certain he’ll be a starter in 2026 no matter what happens. 

Do you have him in the starting side from round 1 2026?

 

I'm pretty sure Heamasi will get a taste of 1st grade before the end of the season, it seems to be the method Benji uses to blood the kids, give them a taste for a game or two than a whole off-season to prepare for a starting role. Alot will also depend on where we are come on the ladder in the second half of the season and the injuries/form of our centers obviously.
