interesting side..

* Big Semi in the centres could go alright, he cause the Balmain defence a great deal of headache on the weekend.

* Jon Pepa comes from wenty's bundy cup side straight into the NYC side.

* Ben Fritz is a kid Nolan brought down from Queensland and has been playing for wenty, a good strong runner.

* the old firm is back at 6 and 7

* Kaysa Priytchard at lock????...he's got to be the smallest lock going around.

* not a fan of Jennings in the backrow

So is Wenty's bundy cup the feeder for Toyota cup? Seems like a good idea play some bundy Go to toyota cup play goo there go to Jim Beam then first grade...

Playing the same defensive role as the hooker (defending in the middle) and in attack will constantly support the ball carrier.

He's got a fair bit of size, but more importantly lacks the agility to defend well at centre.

Maybe the plan is to try and bulk him up and use him as an edge forward. Is this his last year of under 20s?

if you see the size of Luke Vesico than you'll question why you'd have 2 playing at the same time..

well I'm actually not a fan of his persa'e...but you could be right, he played wing/centre for wenty in the last few weeks.

Now or in the future?

Now!

Our choices are very limited due to the age of the squad however I think seage can make a go at coming off the be bench.

I would also consider throwing vai a 2 or 5 shirt but not with great confidence, would love to see him involve himself more at Wenty.

Future!

I think there's a couple out there who are genuine first graders of the future, Jason wehbe has an Anasta look about him but still needs to work on his execution. Fraser musimua and kelepi tagnioa are both talented forwards with a fearless streak about them, they're both still young but extremely confident with the ability to use the ball.

I'm also impressed with both our hookers but would like them to fill out and grow a bit more, particularly Pritchard.

Young Pritchard will end up at the Dogs with his older brother.

Does anyone know what became of Michael Johnston at the Storm?

Was pushing for a NRL spot at the begining of 2011, but have not heard or seem him since.

 

[mackdadday]

İ think mitch johnson is at penrith now

 

[oldmancraigy]

Is it booze problems that MJohnson struggled with?

I forget exactly what it was, but there was something unfootball related which was holding him back!

For some reason that kid always made me think of Matt Goodwin..... no idea why!

Allegedly had some problems at the Storm. Had a punch up at training with Adam Woolnough but gained a one year extension but I tink he was released at the end of last season for what I am not 100% sure.

Maybe he's going to start a nappy delivery business or promote Musashi?
