Knights Toyota cup side?

[roopy]

The side I think we might be able to name.

Jacob Jenkinson
Kevin Naigama (signed from Saints)
Simon Williams
Callan Richardson
Ryan Lamb
Ben Wyborn
Joel Brown
Joel Edwards
Tyne Owen
Tovo (signed from Souths juniors)
Lucas Miller
Scott Dobbins
Mathew Cook

Blake Gallen (prop)
Sammy Stewart (halfback)
Shirnack (second row)
Morseau (centre)
Ryan Stig (half or 5/8)
Jeremy Papamau (winger)
Jarred Edwards (centre)
Mark Farrar (second row or prop)
Beau Simpson (currently plays wing - but probably has a future in the forwards)

You have left out young Alan Lantry. Second rower /lock who is a very tough kid. Has had limited oportunities but playing consistently with Cessnock in 1st and 2nd grades.

Macquarie had three good kids in firstgrade on the weekend apparently, the only one of whom i'd heard of was Jared Edwards, and i'm sure a few others will come up in the trials - not to mention we will buy in a few more from NZ or wherever Smiles fancies a trip this year (NT, WA, Wellington, Fiji perhaps).
I think we have the makings of a very strong side.

I'm very impressed with him.
He has a lot more vision than Brown, and is big enough and strong enough to play hooker, lock, 5/8 and goes ok at halfback IMO.
I think he is a better halfback than Brown and a better hooker than Owen and a better lock than Hardman - but obviously the coach doesn't agree.

Lucas Miller has been let out of his contract for next season on 'compassionate' grounds to sign with the Storm.
A huge loss. I rate him better than Paterson at the same age.

 

[Wilco]

You've got on something good by signing Tovo, terrific player.

Roopy who do you rate out of the possible wingers?
Jeremy Papamau - Australian Schoolboy
Ryan Lamb - NSW Under-17s
Beau Simpson and Tyren Mundine have been regular members of the Flegg side this year.
Only 2 of these would make the side.

I don't know if Kevin Naiqama would make the side next year.

I honestly don't rate any of them.
Lamb is a tall skinny clone of Callen Richardson without the speed.
Papamau i haven't seen enough of.
Simpson is a huge guy with the worst hands i've seen - he's good for 3 or 4 knockons in good positions a game - but his hitups are awesome - he is a forward of the near future.
Mundine has the speed and step etc, but he does everything flashy - no just doing the business for him.

I heard Sharks were interested in Simpson, but weve signed him up so he wont be going anywhere.

I cant beleive he plays in the backs though, he is huge.
