KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[baggygreen man]

Latu as well, don't think either of them like Penrith very much at all

 

[baggygreen man]

Halangahu will be pumped up to verse penrith. A bit personal that match up.

Fill me in. Why is that and Latu also. Where they offered the Panthers pathway and knocked it back?

Full me in. Why is that and Latu also. Where they offered the Panthers pathway and knocked it back?

Latu had a severely busted ankle and Penrith were no longer interested in him.

Fair enough, no offence taken. Forums are meant to discuss varied opinions.
I just think guys his size struggle to make it to the top level. The game is full of 100kg robots these days.
the little guys you reference played in a completely different era where fatigue and small guys with footy smarts could succeed.
I see so much of it in junior footy, where small 7s and 1s have speed and talent then only to do a shoulder or get a few concussions from slightly poorly timed tackles.
It’s tough to make it to the top.

Good point JJ, I still have visions of the small Dolphins FB, I think Fuller is his name having blinders, but you are right maybe in this era their time is limited.

Yep Trai Fuller, 27 and played 5 first grade games so far I think.,.Great cup player, I think would struggle playing every week in first grade.
In saying that, good luck to him.

 

[Jeremy Dragon]

Would of liked to have seen Peckham-Harris in there somewhere, shame.

Expect him to be 14 and spend some time at 9

Thanks JD, he was playing in that position in Qld ?

Their loss then. What about Jake?

Few games on today:
o Jersey Flegg (1.20pm) - No Coverage
o NSW Cup (3.15pm) - Foxtel/KAYO Coverage
o First Grade (5.30pm) - Foxtel/KAYO Coverage

Flegg thoughts: They are missing LKT/Buchanan in Cup but so many replacements they should be fine, and they need to get used to players moving up anyway,

NSW Cup: Im more concerned with the 5 first grade outs.. means no Couchmans, Marschke, , Feagais, SFinau and up against the Panthers... upside will be tv coverage of LKT who I think is next most likely behind Williams to move quickly into Cup more permanently.. and Buchanan I think is next in line behind those 2.. its just his size/age.. so lets see how he handles cup today.. will be a great test. Hopefully MMolo and AlexTui stand up, but its an awful bench imo.. needed one of the props to move up.. Tonga or Stewart etc.

Edit: Shit he wasnt in the team list until 10 seconds ago when I refreshed!

 

[FlickFlano]

fortunately it looks like one coach in the club can pick a team that copes if an outside back goes off injured.
Peckham-Harris into the game.
