Harold Matthews and SG Ball Discussion Thread

[stumpyone]

I doubt that the tigers or any other club are aloud to sign a penrith development there is a transfer fee on them and we cant forget the academy side this year a lot of 14s will play in that side if there any good so realistically they will play matts next year

Sorry Stretch Tarshay has not played in a Penrith 14's comp game this year. He, I understand is playing in the Balmain comp. There is also some reports he played some games in union for the two blues.

Watched our juniors from St Dominics play in the Arrive Alive cup on TV this morning and I really believe Penrith should swoop up players such as Solo Alone, Jason Doran and Joe-lee. All three were very impressive...

Penrith already swooped Solo Alone,he is a Campbelltown junior and Penrith signed him for harold matts after watching him play for Ingleburn high in a wests leagues cup match....But his attitude has let him down in recent times,he got dropped from penrith ball to academy this season and then did not even attend academy trainings...although I do agree,he did look very impressive on the telly.

Mikey Saloum was carried off in the Windsor v Minchinbury semi with a bad knee injury, have to wait and see the damage.

After talking to some of this years ball players Solo and Kaiser were put on special diets and extra training to drop some unwanted weight apparently Kaiser 13kilos and solo dropped 2kilos which is nothing so they went with Kaiser cause he was more committed and the big problem solo has is getting off the ground after tackling someone he never gets up first...

Is Alone in the 20s squad?
and do you believe the other two should be in this years Ball team?

Absolutely they should be in the ball squad or the academy squad the academy coach has worked with this age group before and i know a few of the players would prefer to play under him than the ball coach they have respect for him and solo is no hope i would imagine but they do need a front rower in the twenties next year and maybe he has learnt his lesson......

Well is Joe-lee signed with anybody, and would Penrith take back Doran after his disloyalty last year?

I believe if Alone is playing well enough he should get a second chance, after all many footballer's committment can change at this age amd maybe he has learnt his lesson.

Dont know about joelee but he was training with sgball this year after performiing well in the 17s development squad so he should be automatic and doran didnt get picked for ball or academy so he went to norths to play ball so i guess he wasnt poached and he wants to play at penrith so the guys at StMarys say....i agree about solo

Where do you believe Joe-lee's best position is? I've seen him play out on the fringes and is very damaging...
And did Doran get much game time at Norths or was he just in the squad?

Joelee has to play right second row he used to be a right centre and still plays there for club sometimes but he bust a tackle and offload and thats what you want from a back rower and doran played quite a few games for norths but wasnt a starter i watched him against brothers two weeks ago and was outstanding offloaded every tackle and was best on ground

Either way, as long as the selectors perform well we should field a decent Ball team this year i believe.

 

[stumpyone]

I understand the Matts and Ball train on squad letters have gone out. Any news on who has been invited in to train?

 

[stumpyone]

2 definites for Matts train on squad under 14's Tyrell Fuimono (backrower) and Isaac Harrison (hooker).

 

[Art Vandalay]

rob jennings would be in the mix aswell without a doubt, anyone have the list of the train on sqauds by any chance?

 

[stumpyone]

Under 14's who definitely received letters, Tyrelle Fuimano, Isaac Harrison, Beau Ungounga, Mikey Saloum, Blake Milgate, Also Heard that Fotu Luanu, Sam Kheiraalah, Amos Viiga, Manu from St Marys, Soni from Minchinbury. also but not confirmed.

 

[Art Vandalay]

thats a fair amount of players backing up they must be a good age group?
any news on the results of semis today?

 

[sweet-as]

any news on the results of semis today?

In the U/15s St Clair knocked out Minchinbury
In the U/17s St Marys knocked out Brothers
