NSW Cup

[Jonty]

Been back 3 years I think..

26 years old and plenty of time on his side.

 

[Rich102]

Every time I see his name the Bonanza theme tune goes off in my head.

 

[Grizzman]

I might be wrong but it looks like he's bulked up quite a bit this year? I seem to recall he was much slighter last year.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

If he can play Centre/Wing... how far off FG would he be? Given we're calling on Kosi with Berry out (or at least against the Tigers), are we potentially one more injury/a Kosi nightmare away from Doyle being FG?

 

[Grizzman]

I was watching a highlight reel of Leka. It seems like he played a bunch of centre earlier and we can already see what he can do on the wing!

 

[Big Marn]

Round 7 highlights.

 

[Leber]

Bizarre game today. Was down 18-0 after 14 min loooong all
Kinda of awful. Then plodded along.

second half starts and we score 5
Tries to win 30-18.

Toby Crosby is progressing very nicely.

Probably depends on whether Bunty and/or Ale get re-signed beyond this year.

With Ford now playing middle, Marata likely headed the same way, and Stowers-Smith waiting for an opportunity, its one spot we’ve got good depth.

Hopefully we hang on to him though, dude looks a unit.

Thoroughly enjoying following these guys these year and excellent work by Warriors Anonymous.

That’s exactly it.

with so many talented young forwards coming through it now becomes a juggling act trying to keep everyone happy and figuring out who to keep and who to let go.

Not the NSW Cup, but look at this Wentworthville side.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

We’re absolutely dominating NSW Cup at the moment. Bloody good signs and should hopefully mean we’re getting real depth to keep the top side winning even when injuries bite.

Yea man. Being steered by a couple of experienced NRL halves with 150+ games between them certainly helps.

Listening to Cappy yesterday about putting promising youngsters straight into Cup to test them amongst open-age players has gave me new appreciation for the complexity of balancing development vs. maintaining depth.

The Cup halves are a good example - on one hand you want TMM and Boyd playing as many games as possible in case they're needed in NRL, but at the same time that deprives Hanson and Cleary Jr (and Linnane from next year) valuable game time and experience against open-age players. Helluva juggling act.

Round 10 Highlights

 

[Jonty]

iv been really impressed with the development of both fatialofa and Eddie ieremia-toeava who were a little unknown to me before this season.

lots a tough decisions coming up for the warriors coaching staff on deciding who to keep and who to let go as they can’t keep everyone happy.
