Barring that game against the Magpies the boys have been defending with such an incredible amount of resolve relative to what you see in reserve grades. All the St Mary boys in the forwards who aren't spectacular but just do their job week after week is something that just doesn't happen in reggies teams. They're some talented individuals but across the board there's chocked full of them 1-17. It's just the result of players working hard consistently that other teams in reserve grade aren't motived enough to do regularly.

The Newtown team today was stacked and had no answers. Dugan was barely sighted. Townsend was handled pretty well

Did Lenui get good minutes?

 

[Kilkenny]

Luke Nadurutalo is a seriously big unit, I see bagged a hat trick. Does appear overly quick in open space, but his size, height probably doesn’t need to be. He may be worth a minimum contract depth signing for next season To fill out the top 30.

About an hour or so

Brad Arthur will surely be interested then . Always keeps an eye on our reserve grade .

How did the big unit Eddie Blacker go?

Good to hear. Getting Leniu fitter will be one of Ivan's wins as a coach.

 

[franklin2323]

Provided Ivan uses him. Seems to get favourites and not being a plodder will work against him

Getting fitter and starting to look good

Careful the forum will tell you off haha.

In that smash up of the Dragons he played well. Obviously varies with much defence we do like a lot of big guys.

I have never rated Ivan. A great roster will always trump an ordinary coach though

Funny thing is I do rate him but below Bellamy, Bennett, Robinson. Above guys like Brad Arthur and Griffin.

The last time I went there you could park your car right next to the ground and watch the action from your car!

Apparently he was knocking around the panthers reserve grade side a few years ago. He’s in his late 20’s now, 28 or 29 which is quite old but if he’s still got the speed and talent age shouldn’t be a factor.

I could be wrong, but I don’t ever remember him previously playing for our NSW Cup side. He's not likely, to graduate to our NRL team but as I say who knows could jag a spot as 27/28th man who knows.

Read that he got injured and went back to Fiji a few years back. Definitely a wildcard and worth a punt. Plus he won’t be on big bucks either.

I know nothing of his background but in terms of outside backs he has To’o, Staines, Jennings, May and perhaps Jenkins in front of him so it’s hard to see a future for him given his age in particular.
