What do you guys think the NSW Cup side looks like next year? My guess below with the assumption that Cole and Talagi are taking the 6/14 jumpers and one McLean is with the big club.

1. Laurie 2. McLean 3. Kepaoa 4. Fale 5. Edgar 6. Toelau 7. Schneider 8. Patea 9. Sommerton 10. Price 11. Geyer 12. Lipowicz 13. Eisenhuth 14. Luke 15. Dias 16. Phillips? 17. Riki

What ever happened to Sielaff-Burns? If he was injured last year he could take a wing and shuffle Laurie into the halves, Edgar fullback, Toelau 14 and Luke elsewhere.

Looks like the mystery has been solved. Last name changed to Carson. Now with the Raiders.

With a bit more time now but still now squad list, I think now we're looking at:

1. Daine Laurie 2 J. McLean 3. A. Kepoa 4. D. Fale 5. P. Hotere-Papalii 6. T.Toelau 7. B. Schneider
8. L. Patea 9. L. Sommerton 10. A. Dias 11. L. Garner 12. M. Geyer 13. R. Price
14. S. Luke 15. Z. Lipowicz 16. P. Riki 17. J. Sagaga 18. B. Scott
19. B. Phillips 20. J. Edgar 21. H. Armstrong 22. Z. Clarke 23. A. Hoetere-Papali'i 24. Z Lamont

I have Matt Eisenhuth, Jack Cole & Casey McLean in Penrith's best 17 to start the year.

No Idea what Penrith are going to do with:
Liam Martin, Scott Sorenson, Isaiah Papali'i
Luke Garner, Mavrick Geyer, Harrison Hassett, Preston Riki
ALL in the Top 30

Lipowicz overtook a couple of those guys to end last year and Armstrong & Clarke are both new signings. Throw in the fact that Heinz Lemoto is one of, if not THE highest rated junior at the club.

Anyone have any players I've forgotten or additional thoughts?

Having watched both junior reps games thus far the Harold Matts 0-2 may struggle to make the play offs. Should have won on the weekend but coughed up possession late in the game while leading and conceded a try in last minute. The SG Ball won, not a comfortable win but got the job done in the end. So they are 1-1.

After two rounds the player who has impressed me most is Talmage Brown from the Matts side. Front rower, big unit, captain scored a try in each of the two games. He really looks a prospect for mine.

I see that penrith will most likely lose Heinz Lemoto to rugby with French clubs coming in and have offered big money deals for him to go to Europe

I've got a loose connection to a kid in the Knights HM team, so I'm making the trip to Windsor this weekend to have a watch. Haven't seen any junior reps since 2001-02 when I was reffing them. Hopefully we see some good footy.

I much prefer going to Windsor or St Mary’s to watch the junior reps as opposed to Blacktown (Laybutt).

BarTV sports has taken over from NSWRL to show amongst other content junior reps. It is 19.99 per month as opposed to 9.99 which NSWRL charged. BarTV is far superior and shows most if not all games. Hoping they broadcast all our Flagg and NSW Cup games as well. If they do $5 a week will be money well spent.
