Maitatonga and Masima have not played this season. For several weeks CC would list a team on Tuesday that had no Glebe players in it and then 1 hour before the game 10 changes would be inserted. Finally, this week the Tuesday team has all the Glebe players in it. Maitonga and Masima have been listed on Tuesday but not played. DJ Lokeni Purcell, Manumaleelii and Perkins have played 1 game each.

So far this year 12 guys have played RMC for Hills and NSW Cup for North Sydney - Josh Bergamin, Tom Carr, Lorenzo Mulitalo, Josh Ralph, Ben Marchke, Tevita Alifa, Jack Morris, Jesse Marschke, Elia Faatui, Jerry Key, Shannon Gardiner and Michael Fenn.

Ben Marshke has played NRL, NSW Cup and RMC this season while Gardiner and Faatui have played NSW Cup, RMC and SS this season.

I see tony Williams has had his contract with New York terminated after his rant online about jarrad hayne.
Hopefully Windsor tell him he’s not welcome back, a very bad look for our game.

Nice information....however I did say SQUAD not games played and all the players I have mentioned are in the 2021 squad.

 

[Broncos93]

Can you please post the CC squad for 2021. You seem to have some inside knowledge on this club that would not be available to others reading this forum. But Glebe seems to have a large say in the selection of the CC team - Maitatonga and Manumaleelii will struggle to get a game if Glebe keeps filling 6 of the 7 spots in the backline as Will Russell gets the other spot for his top notch goal kicking.

Ok good call

Windsor's claim that they had also sacked Williams over his outburst looks a little suspect as he would have severed ties to take up the spot in the USA and given that Tim Lafai played for Windsor today, he must have been signed as the new marquee player at an earlier point in time.

Several teams in NSW Cup, RMC and SS had understrength teams this weekend with the withdrawal of NRL players from the NSW Cup by a number of clubs.

Hills got back on track with a 48-0 training run against Cabra, while the Silktails firmed up their claim on a top 6 position with their 4th win from 7 starts.

 

[earl park riot]

Glebe defeated Wests Magpies 34-26 after being down 20-6 early in the second half at Campbeltown.

Yep you’re probably right lafai was probably signed using the money they were going to pay Williams with.
The Windsor RMC coach continues with his usual rubbish, making the SS coaches play his recruits, partly resulting in the Windsor SS team getting towelled up by brothers.

 

[MountainMan]

Some surprise results from Wests in the past month, a victory over Windsor, they have lead Fiji,Mounties and Glebe into the second half,only to be run down.Good improvements from the start of the season.

I do have some knowledge but I will say this..being in the squad as a social thing and having some commitment to training/playing are two different things.Thats why certain higher level experienced players we have mentioned, often get named on a Tuesday but actually fail to appear come game day.
The Glebe connection gives alot of beneficial structure and player numbers in which the CC players don't always commit to,hence the minimal appearances this season.With all due respect to the players who Glebe send,Maitatonga and Manumaleelii will definitely play - if/when they want to.By far the best half's combination in the SS (on paper atleast)

 

[rightleftin]

An interesting player in the Hills SS yesterday was Luke Osborne. At about 6ft 4in he is an imposing sight at 5/8. As an GPS fullback he was one of the 2 John Eales Scholarship winners to Bond University in 2016. A Junior Wallaby in 2019 but failed to make the top grade at Eastwood but will cause havoc in SS.

 

[Broncos93]

Manumaleelii broke his hand during a brawl in a match a few weeks ago. He's not being kept out by Glebe players. I believe Maitatonga is not far away from playing but has also been injured.

Is he good enough for RMC ?

There are a lot of inferior players running around in some of the clubs in RMC but Hills are pretty strong even without the North Sydney input.
