KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[baggygreen man]

Ward

Ward as first receiver naturally had more ball and was busier than his halves partner. He too is a good prospect, perhaps needs a few more kilos. He also kicks goals, tho he takes an age to execute them. Think he is also a Saints junior..

 

[baggygreen man]

Ben Rumble was absolutely outstanding today.

Yeh probably man of the match. Loves getting the ball into his hands. Loves Quinn too as he threw the final pass for two of his tries. Having said that, Rumble threw the pass for Quinns only try. He may be bigger these days but Quinn still has plenty of toe. Rumble could tho use some extra kilos as he will be rag dolled if he stays at fullback in the future

As the Rev said the opposition wasnt much chop but the Fijians did improve markedly in the second stanza and made the boys work for their tries. But I guess 50 points tells the story...

We have a couple of big dude prospects in Liu and Webster, Liu adding a clever offload to his resume. Of interest there were two sons of former players, Callum Leikvoll son of Chris, Travis Barrett-Hancock, son of one of my fave players, Trent Barrett. Both in the pack and both can play.

Why the hyphenated surname if he is Barretts son ?

Nephew, I think.

Only repeating what the commentator said. Yes I too questioned that as the hyphen usually spells another father.

I think the club should add another Flegg team to the competition.

Ward as first receiver naturally had more ball and was busier than his halves partner. He too is a good prospect, perhaps needs a few more kilos. He also kicks goals, tho he takes an age to execute them. Think he is also a Saints junior..

He played Steelers S.G. Ball.

 

[Dragon the chain]

We have a lot of good S.G. Ball kids from both Dragons and Steelers. I think it's time for the club to split the Flegg team into two teams next year. Then we can keep more kids in the system longer. At the age of 19, we do not yet know which players will be future first graders. It's not always the ones we think.

 

[TheRev]

I believe last year they were looking at merging the 2 SG Ball teams? It got shot down.. and I think there are pros and cons:

o Pro: You merge the teams and you would have a super side essentially... who would be very difficult to stop in terms of winning the SG ball competitions and just generally encouraging our future players to have a winning culture..
o Con: You just halved the number of kids who get that SG Experience and a chance to prove themselves.. and how could you possibly decide between Latu and Meafou or King-Togia and Hammoud..
o Con: I assume all these kids are living at home, and since we have 2 bases... the later you can leave having to leave home.. the better.

Note: I think much of the Dragons SG success this year has been through junior recruitment, a lot of those Dragons kids arent born in the area.. and im not sure why the U17 HM sides are struggling so hard... maybe there isnt the focus on recruitment at that age?

But having 2xJF sides is an interesting concept.. I think it makes a lot of sense given how well our SG ball sides are doing, but if having split JF sides means both teams are getting pumped every week.. then it doesnt do well for encouraging success.. but at the same time there are so many SG Ball kids coming out this year that really do deserve a crack in the JF system.. but theyre gonna have to go and play in other leagues.. I dunno Im sure Flanno and co have a good idea what they want to happen.. definitely pros and cons..

Potentially both SG ball teams securing finals positions this weekend too. Could be a good'n

Manly has a lot of first graders in their Cup team: Vaega, Arthur, Wakeham, Bullemor, Chan Kum Tong, Woods, Matterson, Parker, Schuster, Condon.

Better than the first grade side

 

[Dragon the chain]

Looks like M.Molo is 18th man for firsts. He's the only reserve not playing Cup.

A large number of dragons have NRL experience also, should be interesting

 

[TheRev]

Sounded like an epic win in JF, lead changing a few times and we win with 2mins left... 2 tries for Rumble, but Jett Liu sent off is not good.. must have been serious..

Dragons going for all 3 grades today.
Next up reserve grade.

Slight hiccup with the ladies.

 

[TheRev]

As for NSW Cup, few interesting selections, and damn head clash will rule Ryan Couchman out just 2mins into the game.. that sux.. but helps a bit with the positive start and early try to AlexT.

Freebairn as the starting 9 is a surprise, wonder whats up with Mulheissen?
