2019 RM Cup & Sydney Shield

[rightleftin]

Final score: Newcastle Rebels 30 RMC 20

 

[IN THE KNOW]

Half time at Matitland, Newcastle Rebels leading RMC 18-10. In a fast paced game RMC looked on top for a significant portion of the half, leading 10-4 at one stage, but nearly every time Newcastle got an opportunity they converted into points. Rebels hooker, Alex Langbridge is having a great game.

Ahh another player Parramatta could have had at the age of 16 but wanted him to play local club footy. Proved a reasonable reserve grader over the years

If he has serious aspirations of playing first grade he needs to come n plsy RMC and push for a NSW cup spot. Miaka sivo is an example.

Any predictions for this weeks SS and RMC games???
St marys v ECE ?
With no Flegg for the next 2 weeks lets see which clubs dump players into SS? Hopefully not too many

Don't be surprised to see Honeti Tuha run out for Cabramatta this weekend. Left Asquith after the game against Wenty

I think you'll find Honeti is/was a North Sydney contracted player that was dropping back to play with Asquith. If he's gone to Cabra Norths must have released him.

100% correct

Is Cabra playing with 150 points

Chris Yates to buy his way out of trouble again. Seems like a dud deal for Asquith to lose Honeti Tuha to a rival unless they are now getting James Tuitahi back who Norths swapped with Honeti T?

Spot on. They couldn't fit the existing lot in so buy another player. Maybe John Olive will play in SS this week.

For such a strong junior club I can't see much development or opportunity for their kids

There is no pathway at the moment. I don't know how many Cabra juniors are playing in SS but below that the A Grade is coming last in a 10 team comp and Cabra does not have an U/23 or U/20 side. The gap from U/18 to SS is too large.

Honeti Tuha certainly has a good strike rate, he has scored 56 tries in NSW Cup in 89 games. As well as signing Tuha, Cabra has also added Kenny Niko to their roster.

Kenny Niko was at cabra in 2017.

I don't think he is the player he used to be. His games this season have been very inconsistent. Started the first couple of rounds well but it looked to me that he thought he should be playing ISP and his attitude reflected that. Maybe he expects to get a start in the Bulldogs ISP. Won't like Yates style of coaching.

and in 2018. He may have been Newtown in 2017 and hence games at Cabra

 

[rightleftin]

Kenny Niko was at cabra in 2017.

He played 12 games for Cabra in 2016 and 8 games for Newtown. In 2017 in he played 14 games for Newtown but not with Cabra and as stated returned to Cabra in 2018.

For a bloke with that much ISP experience he certainly didn't stand out in the RMC games I saw him play.

ECE or St Marys in SS this weekend??

ECE or St Marys in SS this weekend??

ECE lost 3 games last year so 2 in consecutive games doesn't appear likely but St Marys has Wood, Vaegaau, Aunese Scanlon and Maizen so it should be a contest.
