Reddy and Jones

[imasaint]

I see Reddy and Jones need to explain themselves for the juniors. That is according to some. Last year they were looking at a Flegg side for this year that went something like this.
Hayne, Hauraki, Lewis, Inu, Farrar, Green, Keating, Williams, Sorrenson, Wood, Tavinor, Backo, Wright, Mannah, Keating. m, Micalef, Boustani, Nasso and the list goes on.
not bad scouting and developement.:shock:

I think your targeting at me and one other ;-)

first of all, the critisism we have of Reddy and Jones is that they haven't been able to recruit some decent sizeable forwards that could take on and compete against teams of the calibre of the dragons or Bulldogs, there is nothing wrong with our backs and that wasn't our critisism our problem was that in the past 3 seasons we've actually fielded specialised outside backs such as David Williams, Mark Hendy and Simon Greaves in the forwards due to the lack of depth there. out of the list provided only Hauraki, Mannah and Williams are forwards with big futures but Williams and Mannah are local products while Hauraki was spotted and recruited by Mark Horo.

I stand by my claim that those 2 gentlemen aren't providing the sort of players we need in that Flegg squad.

Is it due to lack of depth there or do we have too many outside backs?

Add to that list

Waicokacola and Piper
My dad and I have a laugh when we see another outside back move into the backrow. It seems to be what happens. You come into the side as a back and they move you to the backrow. There should be a slogan:

"Parramatta Jersey Flegg - Manufacturing lightweight backrowers for the future"

has to be lack of depth, you look at the side prior to the SG Ball players becoming available and you'll see that other than Wright and Wood, the rest are light weights, take someone like Kurt Sorenson, who's a bloody good footballer but will only ever be a first grade hooker and he's been used in resent weeks as a backrower.

 

[The Colonel]

I think we have targetted too many skillful players and not enough big tall forwards who play head down, bum up and straight ahead.

Tim and John Mannah, Tony Williams and Weller have big futures if kept on the right track. Jason Baiteiri is another player who is a fair lump of a lad too.

and of those lot, Weller's the only one who's played flegg in the last 3 seasons and has sort of kicked on, the rest of them a current SG Ball players and admitedley a vast improvemt to the crop that have been and gone in the past few years.

Good point. We are at least 12-18 months away from these guys showing their true value.

The other one who looks to have promise is Tua'au.

Jorden????...did he play Ball this year?

 

[The Colonel]

Yep

take someone like Kurt Sorenson, who's a bloody good footballer but will only ever be a first grade hooker and he's been used in resent weeks as a backrower.

Kurt Sorensen has played most of his flegg games at lock and has looked best in that position. His stint at hooker was to put him up into Premier League. I personally think he is the backbone of that team. They struggle when he isn't there.

 

[The Colonel]

It is unlikely though that he would play first grade at lock and looks more suited at hooker in the higher grades.

I have to say i agree with that comment, he is all heart that kid (and a damn fine player too) and i am not too happy that we are going to lose him to the Titans

what Colonel said..great footballer but too small for the backrow, especially firstgrade.
