NSW CUP
The Dragons are on the up and key to that is playmaker Jesse Marschke. The 26-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games and has eight try assists in six appearances this season — including one on the weekend. Marschke, who would’ve felt right at home at North Sydney Oval after spending three seasons with the Bears, also recorded a linebreak, four tackle busts and 77 metres.
And the 20-year-old Couchman twins once again led from the front. Ryan topped the metre count for the game with 209, while also making 31 tackles — two misses — at prop. In each of his last six games, Ryan has ran at least 150 metres and has been averaging 35 tackles per game. Toby, was right up there with his brother, finishing with 171 running metres and 31 tackles — one miss. Toby has also been in red-hot form this season. He’s averaging 155 running metres and 33 tackles per game at a seriously impressive tackle efficiency of 97.8 per cent. The pair can’t do much more to earn a call-up by NRL coach Shane Flanagan.
Makeshift fullback Mat Feagai is looking better with every game he gets in the No.1 jersey. Feagai has played majority of his footy on the wing but has been playing fullback, while in NSW Cup, due to a lack of depth in that position. Feagai scored a try in the Dragons’ win over the Raiders, got two linebreaks, 10 tackle busts and ran 175 metres.
Young gun winger Savelio Tamale was electric once again, finishing with a try, eight tackle busts and 200 running metres. The 19-year-old now has seven tries in his last six games and is averaging over 150 metres per game — it’s no wonder he’s attracted the interest of a rival club
