KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[baggygreen man]

JERSEY FLEGG:

No Jett Liu, injured or form?

 

[justadragon]

On current form wont surprise me to see both these sides go down in NZ. JF should have more of a chance but KOE will struggle, anyway heres hoping we can do something as the season is getting on and we are sliding down the ladder in all grades.

 

[baggygreen man]

Will be watching Loko Jr, Jake and Buch with great interest tonite when they slip on the Blues jumper.

 

[baggygreen man]

Some media wag has given Loko Jr the moniker of LOKOMOTIVE. May be apt as he now tips the scales at a monstrous 121ks and has added a couple of cms. A beast that can spread a defense with power, step outside backs and set up tries with the deft passing of a play maker. Our scouts sure picked a good'n from the '21 Qld Schools Champs. The big fellar is expected to be in or #30 in '25 too.

Not expected, he is signed to to our top 30 for '25 and '26

Yep most of the SG kids are taking the 6 Dev spots for next year, the one exception is Tonga who is straight into the Top 30, possibly Halangahu will move up with him.. noone has confirmed whether he is dev or not..

But I updated the squad list in another thread, if we are still signing the players flanno wants.. i.e. marquee prop, someone who covers halves (marshke or equiv), lomax replacement and we need a hooker backup (muhleissen or equiv)... thats squad full, not even counting Allan... coupla dev spots I think for our top SG backs..

Allan and Halangahu both have top 30 deals next season. Confirmed a while back

OK I found the Halangahu confirmation from FlickFlanno, he mentioned Latu may go straight into Top30 also... but I dont see where he fits... the dev spots will be easy to fill however.

Allan is a funny one, I can see Flanno confirming it in an interview... but I think we would have to see him back running and fit before we could be 100% sure hes part of the squad.

Jack Bird going would have been a perfect swap for Allan, now when I look at the last 4 spots (the other 26 are locked), I dont see where Allan fits.. not unless he taps Lawrie &/or Ravalawa perhaps...

Final 4 Spots (assumes JDB/Eisenhuth stay):

Assumed Leaving:

Saw today that Canberra has poached Savelio Tamale and has been on the cards for a while in the press. What are the thoughts on his loss as i thought there were some big wraps on him coming through?

 

[TheRev]

10day cooldown must have finished @Canberra, I dont see where we can fit him (and Allan) in our 30 tbh, not unless we get rid of 2 of Bird, Ravalawa, Ctui and SFinau.. this does assume we can still land a Blaize or Holmes or just someone marqueeish to replace Lomax.

Dangerous runner of the football, but his defence needs a lot of work.
Stuart looks to be loading the lower grades with some young talent.
Ethan Sanders looks the early pick to succeed down there.

Good Win in Jersey Flegg

46-14 against the Warriors in New Zealand

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Dragons 4-0 in the KOE Cup game at half time.
Noticed Latu selected at prop in the Flegg game.

Good comeback win. They needed it. How did TPH go ?

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Anyone watching KOE? Any updates?

 

[Runner]

Absolutely worked over by the touch judges / ref for penalties in the second half. Just can’t see what they are for. Down 12-4 after leading 4-0 at half time. KOE Cup

4 zip at the siren KW.
WTF, the site must'be been slow, sorry to mislead KW.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

4 zip KW. Must've been a real arm wrestle

I think the nswrl site is messed up RVH

 

[Runner]

60 minutes in 12-4 to Warriors. Nothing going Saints way.

 

[FlickFlano]

Touch Judge is an actual cheat, he is calling things that dont exist and the ref is listening to him. Worst display i have ever seen.
