it's obvious to anyone that watched that game that Lorenzo was told to hang back and let Volk and Twidle run the show and to choose his run when the opportunity came.

I see NSW Cup only used 16 players again yesterday, this time Samuelu wasn't used. Lokeni was the other bench middle (besides Ryda Talagi) to get minutes. But last week Samuelu played off the bench with Lokeni back in Flegg and Jim getting zero minutes off the NSW Cup bench. If Lokeni is ahead of Samuelu (and I always thought he was), why did Lokeni play Flegg last week? Why not take Jim's spot on the bench and let him play Flegg instead? There was obviously some prioritisation of the Flegg team, or at least a desire to help it compete with Penrith's Flegg pack that had all its u21 reserve graders dropped back for the finals. Like if our NSW Cup side wasn't in the finals and so we dropped Twidle, Nanva, Talataina, Funa-Iuta, Lewis, Talagi, Samuelu and Lokeni back to the Flegg team. It's very interesting.

It's quite interesting to see how some clubs approach the "lesser" grades depending upon whether they are still alive in the NRL and I guess depending on their policy regarding development of youth.

Thanks for your interesting contribution.

in all seriousness, there are only 2 clubs in the KOE comp that take it serious enough to want to win the comp and thats Newtown and Norths.
