For those playing at home, TCT don’t really talk up Richard Penisini as a glowing prospect. They do Twiddle however.Penisni junior has nothing in his game that makes him a threat outwide. TCT rated = overrated.
actually Twiddle looks good. He looks to be a future 13.

Not really, 2 season ago Farrugia was speedy but he’s bulked up and is now just a decent winger. The others in Flegg and Ball are strong etc but none have elite speed.
Oh they did back in the day. Now they are trying destroy others.For those playing at home, TCT don’t really talk up Richard Penisini as a glowing prospect. They do Twiddle however.

100% he would be one of a dozen players coming through. Api is the one they favour. OP just has a TCT grudge.Are you sure?
Is he strong enough to defend in the middle?He’d be a good lock. He’d have good speed for a forward but not for a back.
Did he say whether any other clubs had made offers? Talagi and Sanders were receiving interest while still in SG Ball. Twidle played in that same team.For some reason MON and co haven’t apparently made him an offer for 2026 yet, could be wrong but that’s what his father said 2 weeks ago.
I don’t know much about either of them other than that the club doesn’t rate them as much as fellow 21 year olds Guymer and Pryke. I assume Brown and Neemia lack the mobility for first grade. They are both a year older than Tuivaiti but well behind him.@Poupou Escobar Why isn't Neemia and Brown playing more CUP ffs

Plenty of reserve graders were great attacking players when they played against kids their own age. The difference between them and the blokes who make it in the NRL is their defence. For forwards this doesn’t mean crunching anyone stupid enough to run at them. It means mobility (i.e. lateral movement + work rate).Neemia is killing it on Flegg.. Seems to have a lower centre of mass as well when he runs which makes it harder to tackle him..
Brown needs polishing though but takes good runs..

Yep and that's also only going to be tested playing against older and more experienced players in CUP.
look, I’d be the first to admit that I know nothing about developing young players but I get a little dissapointed with the fact that we continue to draft players from our third tier side to make up the numbers…I reckon there were about 5 or 6 Wenty players who played cup on the weeken.
i really don’t think it’s necessary with the talent we have in Flegg atm.

No, testing starts long before merkins get a run in higher grades. That’s how clubs decide who gets a run and who doesn’t. They already know which Flegg players (or Flegg graduates) will struggle in NSW Cup, because they observe them in the junior grades and test them at training. If you can’t do it at training you’ll never do it on game day.Yep and that's also only going to be tested playing against older and more experienced players in CUP.
