Harold Matthews and SG Ball Discussion Thread

[footyboy7]

ahh k who played well for the teams

and predictions for the grand final

Windsor defeated Brothers in the 16s, leading to a qualifier on wednesday against St Marys. My prediction is that St Marys will win this and then unfortunately for St marys i think Glenmore Park will win the GF.

In the 17s St Marys won 40-16. Beside the scoreline it was a great game. St Marys scored a consolation try at the end of each half. Eisunhuth, Lekkas, Butler Flemming and especially Chris Nay(#6) played well. St Marys best player was fullback John Faiumu unstoppable.
SG Ball coaches will find it tough picking betwenn Faiumu and Mataia for fullback, Mataia plays fiveeighth for Saints.

Brothers C Grade Pumped St Marys 34-10. Best Players were Harlie Archer, Alan Eisunhuth and for St Marys Jordan Tagoloa and Shane Smith.

So opinions please.
John Faiumu or Nich Mataia? and why?

my mail is that john cannot play sg ball due to his religion leaving the door wide open for nick


i think nick would still have him in terms of defense and the ability to read the game

i think your right art vandalay i am sure faimu cant play on saturdays so mataia would have to be the next choice

 

[corner post]

yer i think hm will have a very strong side

can anyone confrim that tevita is switching to union along with jon taefu to parra

no confirmation on tevita but im sure taefu is about to sign wih panthers

 

[corner post]

If you mean Tevita Feilikatou. He was told to sign or he wont be going on the NZ tour, lets just say he wont be going to NZ. It wasnt a very good contract. Taefu not confirmed yet.....

what do you meen wasnt very good contract,there would be hundreds of kids wanting the chance to score a contract

 

[Art Vandalay]

yer exactly right but i think hes trying to say not that good in terms of the other contracts running around as well as mayve what union was offering

yeah i can understand that he maybe waiting on the union offer but too many kids these days are paid too much and you cant blame the players it is the clubs problem, in my opinion they seem to loose there hunger once they have the big dollars

 

[corner post]

hi fellows summit here; im new to the forum
about the h/matts squad i reckon they are going to struggle in the halves

not wrong there summit they may struggle in the halves and depth in front row may be a problem

 

[Art Vandalay]

yer i understand and agree with u

any-news on when the squads will be announced surely lower mountains must have a few in their cumming 3rd

Are u serious??? Jakiel and Chook are goong to cause major havoc on teams.

 

[Art Vandalay]

Are u serious??? Jakiel and Chook are goong to cause major havoc on teams.

he said depth 2 front rowers is not depth

 

[stretcher]

he said depth 2 front rowers is not depth

two front rowers is not enough given that jakiel and chook will have a tough time playing a hard game every week and history tells us there are always injuries to key positions.....one injury to a front rower and thats it cant pull up any academy players once the comp starts look at last year..

 

[footyboy7]

Tbh i dont think Chook is a superstar. I think he will need to put on a lot of weight before he "carves up" Harold Matts.
John cant play because of his religion? Is that meaning he has church on saturday or something?
So is Jon Taefu, staying at Penrith?
Any news on the New Zealand squad?

sweet as what planet are you on,i said depth in the front row how is chook and jakiel going to play 60 minutes week after week in probably the hardest under 16s comp in the world, you are going to need quality in the front row to give them a rest in games and i hope they dont get busted

john faimu is a senenth day adventist which means church satdays and john taefu would be a massive lost if he didnt stay he was best on ground again on sunday.........

i agree stretcher i dont think jakiel or chook will last that long in a harold matthews game with the speed as the game is these days. u need other front rowers up to jakiel and chooks standards and i think jakiel wont carve up as the opposition will not be scared to tackle him. like when he plays for st marys all that comp is scared of him wich makes him so dominate:crazy:

 

[murraymob]

you guys have mentioned penrith contracts for these kids.What sort of money are we talking about

 

[Bashem]

Im pretty sure Jakeil will carve up , He did play in the WSAS hm this year , And did get Players player , so it does say even if people are not scared to tackle him he is still a standout and esspecially that being up an age , imagin the impact he will put on in hm 2010

i agree, besides the score was a very entertaining game, lower mountains were a credit, all thru semis performed and pushed st marys harder then alot of sides hav been able to do, i did think those 4 from them had blinders, as with the hooker, once again performed well, i think his name is bull or somethin?? he had rep experience before?? and yea john faiumu over mataia i reckon, he is a freak, proved it on the weekend, pepa also played strongly, loved the pepa v butler flemming battle
