A team with five Flegg-eligible players made the grand final, which is pretty good. Another four of them played under 20s for us.
We paid the price for trying to defend a two point lead for 40 minutes. Newtown was the only side playong attacking football in the second half.
How would that have helped his development? This is a kid who played a dozen NRL games this year as well, winning seven of them. He can play. He's just not a very good kicker.
The best players when I've watched WENTY have been the NRL guys. Mckiwrick,Hoffman,GJ,Mannah,Gower,Stone,Terepo. Stefano and Kafusi show a bit of promise. Salmons been big average Parrys been borderline garbage Yes they are young but none look like they amount to a lot bar average first graders perhaps. I am not sure Parry is even that.
His kicking was immaculate in the semi tbh. Anyone can see he's a footballer. Now it's just about finding his best position. But he starts next year on the bench in FG for mine
Well they were a major part of the Wenty side that has won several in a row to get to the GF. So gee if our young players are average, f**k the other NRL clubs depth / back up players must be f**ken horrible ......
I reckon a lot has to do with Mannah Gower Terepo GJ Hoffman GL Kafusi and Stefano may just need an off season and could explode.
Interesting stat, Salmon as 4 nrl TA this year and raiders halves Wighton / Sezer only have 5 each. Additionally Drown only has 5 ( in 15 games / salmon played 12 games). So maybe Salmon does have some potential.
