Flegg Lost 22-0
Flegg means f**k all or else Talagi, Sanders and Arthur's would be playing there. They all played SG Ball last year and didn't join Flegg until Ball had finished. This year they're giving Flegg a miss. Under 21s is a comp for nuffies, which is why they got rid of the old President's Cup (when Flegg was under 19s).

Probably didn't have a good preseason. Guymer is ahead of him, along with some pretty good reserve grade forwards.
TBF he is only turning 19 this year, pretty big step for a young prop to jump from Matt’s (2022) to NSW cup within 2 years….while Guymer is a year old (3 years from Matt’s to NSW cup).

Don’t think there are many props playing NSW cup at 19 or even jumping ball to go straight to flegg

I think it takes forwards longer to develop then backs also.
I watched Mataele on Friday. He looked so slow and not much heart. Shame cause he is a big and powerful kid.
Morreti,Grieg and Doorey all play with aggression.

That’s a good point. Tuivati could still be playing SG Ball. Our best 19 year olds all played Ball last year. This year Talagi and Arthur are playing reserve grade while Tuivati is in Flegg, and the SG Ball side is struggling.

The way I see it is you could have 2 superstars in Sg ball surrounded by duds amd your side will struggle vs a team with 13 guys who will develop into handy back ups. So I am unsure it is a great indication if you win SG ball or not.

However my little birds have told me Canberra have the best kids of anyone.

Canberra lead the NRL & NSW Cup
Second in Flegg.

But are shitting the bed in Ball and Flegg.

They have developed. We are still a few years behind them..
