Lower Grades 2025

[John Hamblin]

Flegg had player sent off in the 49th minute and just got home 25-24!

 

[Black Panther]

I thought it finished 24-24.

 

[Copperhead]

I thought it finished 24-24.

Liddiard kicked a field goal in the 78th minute.

Nice to see Sagaga back, he finally impressed me in this years trials. Physically looked like he had taken step forward but then hasnt played all season, injured i guess.

Cup and flegg both lost but there were a lot of ins and outs for them both this week. Not sure if its by design or not but we played with a very young cup bench, Sagaga plus 3 flegg players. Huth didnt play so phillips started at lock(think he got a HIA). Based on the score they seem to have to stood up to it alright, i think we need to persist with some of these younger guys and see if we can fast track anyone. I feel like we need more players putting pressure on our first graders

 

[betcats]

Good too see the flegg boys standing up, a lot of ins and outs the last two weeks but they are winning enough to keep in the top 2. Tigers only mid table but we had a new halves pairing, 3rd choice fb, new centres and a few changes in the pack.

Jack Attard: The Australian Schoolboys fullback impressing Penrith officials

“I grew up going for Panthers my whole life so it’s good to put on the jersey.”

One to to watch. Will be a good battle between Jack and Jaxson for back up full back spot. Feel bad for Daine but this needs to his last year here. We've got two aus schoolboys fullbacks coming through we cant be holding them back for Daine laurie to keep playing.

Who's better Edgar or Attard?

Who's better Edgar or Attard?

They are both good prospects i havent watched either enough to answer that though. Both speedsters, Edgars got a bit of Papenhauzen about him, good footwork speed and ball playing. The very limited amount ive been able to see of Attard he seems to be more of great support fullback, naturally gifted with speed and instincts like a David peachey type.

I'd say give Laurie 1 last chance at 14 but Ivan either doesn't know how to use him or doesn't trust him.

I think we all agree Ivan is terrible with the 14.

All logical fans know Ivan's limitations. Top 3 (I'd say 2) coach in the game but he has flaws

There’s no good way to use Daine off the bench imo besides injury cover.

Same goes with Cole....its maybe limiting but that's why I think Sommerton is the man. Especially once we get Garner back in the second row

We need a guy like Connor Watson.

A less rapey Tyrone?

Fair bit more versatility in Cole than Dane tho. Cole can defend well enough to play in the middle if required and not have us get destroyed.

Exactly. Those types are gold on and off the field.

Cole is a good tackler though. Daine isn't he's decent for a FB where just making the stop is good. It's a world away from a middle where you want to win every ruck.
