Getting punished for our success now .

We finished 1st and 2nd though, Not exactly terrible seasons. It is just 3 and 4 get too much of an advantage in these comps

ATM, Boiling hot faves Canberra are behind Parra 14-0 at HT, so it looks like there is certainly a disadvantage of coming in cold after a three week break.

Yep I don’t like the setup. Fair enough the top 2 sides get a week off while minor semis are played but why have a week break between the regular season and the first semis? They are teens playing a 9 week regular season, they finish strong in the top two taking some momentum and form in the finals then have to wait 3 weeks to play in a major semi do or die. Finish the season, minor semi next week, major semi week after and then the gf. At that age I’d much rather then playing every week till the season s over then have a 3 week wait between games. Anyway winnings always good but those teams are about development and I think we have plenty in both teams to look forward to.

Development is the major point of this comp being it a 9 week season. A few of this lads from SG Ball will go the the jersey Flegg squad, and the rest in the suburban comps.

3/4 top two sides lost. The system is obviously wrong!

Since we had this format.

2021 - 4th placed Canberra beat 6th place Steelers in Ball

We won last year from 4th.

Matts Last year 4th place Sharks knocked out Roosters who were 1st

Then of course this year

Schoolboy comps start now which is for the timing

 

[Pjf04b]

This is the first year of this finals format with a top six and 2 weeks off for the top 2.

Thanks.

The two losses were hugely disappointing.

At the same time, both sides have some kids who look highly promising and May have what it takes to progress to NRL in a season or two.

The younger McLean brother looks like he could develop into something special. Great physique, very athletic, be interesting to see how he develops in the next season or so. Hopefully he is locked up long term.

How is the progress of Ryly Smith and Isaiah Iongi coming along?

Jersey Flegg being played behind closed doors today, moved from Windsor.

Does anyone know why? Was there a threat made?

I believe it is weather related due to the heavy rain in the area yesterday and overnight.

It floods out Windsor way always has

It floods out Windsor way always has

But why behind closed doors?

But why behind closed doors?

I would say with the short notice they would have had trouble getting staff to man the game
Canteens gate security .By closing the game it reduces the costs
Penrith won the game beat the tigers

Tigers had a player sent off with 30 minutes to go with the score 14 - 12
