KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[SAP58]

Tuitavake is the better player than Fifita in my opinion, Fafita always looks disinterested.

Definitely showing that today. 12-14 two quick tries to the Dragons after a slow start

 

[Gippsy]

Stewart showing good speed, but we were lucky with an obstruction not being called. Down
14-12

 

[Gippsy]

well bugger me. We've hit the front. Magpies defence as bad as ours

 

[baggygreen man]

In for another.. on a roll the boys.

The forwards have lifted & a few penalties have gone our way. Possession usually means points in NSW Cup.

 

[justadragon]

Well if our defence is a shocker then so is Wests, welcome to the new age of RL, just score trys !!!

 

[baggygreen man]

We are better with Herring on the field.

 

[St Tangles]

Highlights first half

Tuavaki ex Manly game changed with his go forward
Musgrave improved as the game went on
Coachman is a goer but a bit behind his brother due to injuries

The not so good
Poor defence
Nick Lui Toso started ordinarily definitely not ready for 1sr grade
Backs are hot or cold no in-between

 

[St Tangles]

On Fafita I'm not sure he is fully fit

 

[Gippsy]

Defence from both sides is pretty ordinary. Musgrave & Burns have been solid. Tuitavake looks the goods, he runs hard and made some great runs when he was on. Couchman similar to his brother. Fifita has been dissapointing. He's a big body but just doesn't run hard, ala Sharon woods.

They are similar to the NRL side. You can see there is some talent there somewhere, but we seem to play with no structure in attack and no commitment in defence. Plus, the same dumb errors.

Totally agree, If the whole club trains as one then we do understand why there has been no structure anywhere, all grades need a total review on performances.

I've only seen him a couple of times, but he doesn't seem to be enjoying it, certainly not living up to the hype of getting him to the Dragons. Oh well maybe he is injured, why would you keep playing him though.

 

[baggygreen man]

Thats the way to start the last 40

 

[SAP58]

I will make a prediction that Tuitavake will be playing FG in the second half of this year.

Exactly. Ryles, or whoever gets the job, needs to change things up across all grades.

100 % with you SAP58

 

[justadragon]

I would like to see Lobb get a run in the NRL, he can kick goals too.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Hopefully Herring, R. Couchman, Tuitavake make their debuts this season. I think Vili needs time off with his sternum injury, hence why he looks disinterested to some.

Stewart could certainly be a first grader, but he needs proper coaching because he's got plenty of errors in his game. However, so does Sloan. Based on this game, Treigh gets involved plenty more than Tyrell.

 

[SAP58]

Dylan Eagan just looks like a footballer & moves like one.

 

[baggygreen man]

Egan who made that try is still 17, or just turned 18.
