72 points against so far in 10 games. And 362 points for. The next best defensive team was the Dogs who've played 1 less game with 114 points. The next best attacking team was Balmain going into this game with 288 points and we managed to keep them to only 8.

Not only was it great attacking footy from the boys it was an awesome defensive display.

Hey forty,

Is this our best junior team in a long time? Also are there any standouts who are destined for greatness like Hayne etc?

 

[parra pete]

They're impressive stats.

We must a good program to identify and develop these juniors.

I believe so, or at the very least it is challenging for it. We have put together some fantastic junior teams in the Harold Matthews/SG Ball but this group are not only exceptionally talented but are drilled and disciplined beyond their age group.

It will probably take another 12 months to properly answer your second question and even then Hayne (and Inu) is a massive anomaly. Once we get a look at how they handle the SG Ball will make things clearer but amongst the cream of this team (Tui Afualo, Josh Curran, Jesse Cronin, Alex Seve, Travis Turnbull, Filia Ukitomanu, PJ Vaigalu - a few of the outside backs are solid prospects as well) I really like what I have seen from Travis Turnbull and Tui Afualo.

Afualo is a human wrecking ball, bucket loads of power and aggression but has the finesse and vision to use his winger well. Turnbull is easily one of the better halves I have seen in this grade. Plays confidently at the line, happy to run, kick or pass and physically I think he has a good build to grow into.

Yes Afualo has added a few things to his game,his passing and vision to pass has improved. Curran , Cronin are solid, Filia and PJ are handy. Duunster and parry are good finishers. Hope Alex Seve is cleared to make a return next week

Turnbull was amazing this morning, that hit on the Tigers prop was just a technically perfectly executed tackle by a little man on a big man.

You can't coach shit like that. He put his shoulder into the guy's hip and just drove him backwards.

 

[Avenger]

How old is this Turnbull kd? Is he looking better than Dargan?
