Every merkin wanted to be first receiver ffs

Full time.

 

[RealdEel]

Apparently Lorenzo brought us back into the game

 

[the phantom menace]

So we play sudden death next week, v 5th place Raiders... and Dragons can get belted by the runaway minor premiers the Warriors.

Yes, Sunday 5 pm at Leichhardt

Considering the high demand for halves....It's interesting he was willing to accept a new contract which has him on a development contract for the next 2 years......did we get a good deal, great negotiating ? Or is he not that highly rate by other clubs?

Definitely a low risk deal for us....Interesting times!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His SG Ball grand final opponent, Toby Rodwell, was already in the Chooks’ top 30.

I would of wondered down to the game but it's on 5pm on a Sunday. It would be nice if it was played not at the same time as the NRL finals. Flegg at 3pm and NSW cup at 5pm.
Raiders involved in both grades whilst their NRL side plays at 4pm in Canberra.

He is already ahead of where Blaize was in development.

Straight from Ball to the CUP finals.

I suspect playing NRL at 19 is better then playing NSW cup at 19.....

Talagi played first grade the year he turned 19. He is only a year older than Talataina.

I think the kid knows that his biggest obstacle would be joash and probably knows he’ll have his measure in about 12 months and then his manager will re negotiate the deal …

he’ll be a regular in first grade by 27…

 

[Pazza]

plus parramatta back up halves play a lot of first grade

Ryles isn't scared to throw young kids in. He may debut next year

Probably but he still is infront of Blaize in development coming out of Ball... Blaize went ball to Flegg Lorenzo has gone Ball to Flegg to Cup in the same season.
He probably also has a pathway to first grade.

The youngest player to debut under Ryles was Tuivaiti, and he was 20. In the backs it was Papalii who was almost 21. It's not young for a debutant. Dylan Brown was a few months shy of 19 when he debuted. Oregon Kaufusi was 18 as well.
