2019 RM Cup & Sydney Shield

[rightleftin]

All the players in their combined SS and RMC squad will be playing on Sunday in the game against cabra or moorebank. The majority of the squad has at least one game already in the two previous trials the western rams u23’s and wests RMC.
There is a few to come back from Penrith also.

Good to hear that the RMC players will finally get a game but a pity they will only have SS opposition.
18 guys played at least 9 games in RMC last year:

Robbie Vai (20), Geoff Daniela (20), Marli Sini (17), Blake McDermott (12), Lazarus Brown (19), Nathan Smith (22), Dylan Fuad (22), Tevita Mapalangi (22), Antonio Pelesasa (17), Chris Aunese Scanlon (16), Joe Vaegaau (15), H Seumanu (13), Tom Romer (18), Jake Toby (13), Reece Goldsmith (14), Michael Ross (9) and Etu Qionamacawa (9)

Pelesasa has gone to Asquith but of the remaining 17 only McDermott and Romer have played a game against Wests this year, so the team should be very fresh for the start of the season.

Hmm I’m no expert but I think lot of the names you mentioned are no longer at st marys this year. For instance Ross and mapapalagi are definitely not.

Good to see blokes progressing from SS to ISP

Good to see blokes progressing from SS to ISP

He played a few games in ISP for Wenty at the start of the season then got injured and when he came back Parramatta had put about 6 Flegg boys in the ISP team so he had to go to SS. He filled in in RMC when Beau Henry was out for a few games. He also played ISP for Wyong in 2017.

SS trials-

St marys 46 moorebank 8

St marys 48 cabra 6, cabra played pretty well against a mostly st marys RMC squad.

Sydney Shield

Asquith 44 d Hills 10

Ron Massey

Asquith 22 d Hills 20

Great effort from the Magpies in Syd Shield with pretty much an U/20s side playing.

I hope Hills have a few players to come back as they were beaten by an Asquith side with mainly Shield players playing.

 

[imgunawin72]

It looks like from yesterdays trial that moorebank will be relying heavily on the extras from the bulldogs u/20’s, they struggled yesterday against st Marys SS

 

[Butts74]

Hills looked horrible in SS yesterday, alot of drop ball and unforced errors , but I don’t think if they done those things right they would of won , a lot of young and inexperienced blokes there. You would hope a couple more boys come back for there sake. RMC wasn’t a bad game , hills looked strong with a couple in the sidelines and just got done , Asquith looked really good.

SS trials-
