Harold Matthews and SG Ball Discussion Thread

[Panther_Daz]

Really? That is sensational news!

I thought with all their X Factor stuff they would be too busy for Footy now.

 

[Friza]

Lets hope so. Bryce is the best lock in Penrith and probably the whole comp.

Maklouf, Geyer and Glanville will also battle for halves spots with the new signings you would imagine.

I doubt very much if Glanville & Geyer will be in the mix when the SG Ball train-on squad is announced.
They went down that road last year with young halves. You need to be on the age to win an U/18's Comp.

jakiel and jaye fuimaono apparently played on sunday the 10th
for stmarys 17s and bryce cartwright is not far from returning from a
back injury.

Both played just to qualify. They don't even train with the team!

You won't see them again till the end of the year. They have chosen a different pathway, which is to chase their X Factor dream.

 

[Panther_Daz]

So they are still keeping their League dream alive just by playing the one game to qualify for SG Ball. If they make it far in X Factor i doubt they would play League again.

Players that will feature & worth keeping an eye-on:

Matts
Robert Jennings
Blake Milgate
Tyrone May
Soni Luke
Soni Hala
Oliver Clarke
Christian Critchon
Peter Tiatia

Ball
Bryce Cartwight
Sam Hickey
Roy Teuku
David Andjelic
Wiki Tauvao


I am led to beleive they have recruited 2 halves, 2 frontrowers & a centre for SG Ball.

They have recuited about five players per year for the last three years,and they have all turned out to be duds.

Only concerned about qualifying at Club level. They have both played their 3 games.

I strongly doubt they will feature in SG Ball Squad.

So how excited should we be about Bryce Cartwright?

I haven't watched him yet but I've heard a lot of good things

Quite excited.

If he can remain injury free he should play First Grade at least.

The harold matts for 2012 should be a strong side with a strong forward pack and good quality backs at the right ages plz no under age players for next year i hope all will be 16 yr olds may be a 15 yr old in the side but i doubt it.

Will Jason Taylor be part of the HPU?? As NYC coach he should be involved with implementing the junior playing structure. Under Cleary's instructions of course. That we get Matts playing the same structure as the NRL.

Then we get everyone on the same page & get a better look at which players are quality or not

Is Jason Taylor the NYC coach for next year? Have I missed something? Where did you hear this?

 

[ashton]

Does anyone know when the SG Ball and HMatts sides will be announced?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Squads will be announced September/October to train over the summer. The final cut down to 25 or so won't happen until a week or 2 before the season.

 

[stumpyone]

I undestand that closed trials will be held late September. Apparently enough players for 4 teams will be invited to play. Of course the already contracted players will be in the squads.

 

[stretcher]

Trials will be on september 10th 70 players for matts and about 80 for ball and of course contracted will be there but i doubt they will play trials which is a good idea imo save chances of injury plus it keeps the other clubs away and pressuring them to trial elsewhere....

 

[Fibroman]

Will be interesting to see if there are any kids that can actually tackle or play with a bit of heart.
