 * Delete . Hasn't played a first grade game, so fails WP:RLN and doesn't have significant independent coverage (I don't consider NRL.com to be independent) so fails WP:GNG. Looks like he might debut round one, though, so should be recreated if that happens. Jenks24 (talk) 13:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Reading some of the comments below, I guess a redirect until he makes his debut would be fine as well. Jenks24 (talk) 13:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Changing to keep. Since my vote on 2 February, Moga has received significant coverage (specifically this article). Jenks24 (talk) 07:37, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sydney Roosters. Completely agree with Mattlore and Jenks24, save that I think we should redirect rather than delete: (1) it's a viable search term; and (2) he may well become notable very soon and it's much easier to reverse a redirect than to undelete or recreate an article. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:44, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Could we look at incubating until he becomes notable? Mattlore (talk) 21:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think we should keep it because as many reports mention, this kid is going to be an NRL star. I’m not seeking to be a fortune-teller, but he’s going to play in the NRL this year. Therefore, I don’t see the point of deleting it when it is going to have to be re-added soon anyway.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 22:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Perhaps we could incubate or userfy until he makes his debut? Mattlore (talk) 00:31, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yes. Either option is agreeable in my opinion.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 01:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: I'm normally pretty quick to suggest deleting these, but it appears this fella will probably be making his first-grade debut in about a month. Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Sources exist in newspapers about him. Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney newspapers. One minute google search found these. --LauraHale (talk) 20:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Another mention in todays Tele. Doctorhawkes (talk) 13:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Even if he hasn't played an international or NRL match the coverage is so substantial that he's notable in his own right. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 16:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
