SG Ball and Harold Matthews results

[justadragon]

Well done to both the SG Ball sides for making the start they have. Looks like both sides have a focus and the players seem willing to really put in. Well done lads keep it up you guys are our future.

St George play very well, the confidence they have under willie is impressive, the forwards are rolling forward with ease and the second phase play is great to watch. They conceded one try with a player in the bin and another with a lucky kick. The fullback Peckham Harris is a great player only small but makes countless amounts of try saving tackles. the outside backs are great too... Afu the centre is a hard runner with good footwork, hopefully he can improve his passing game, and then the winger outside him Williams is like lightning, so fast I'm sure if there are highlights you will see his 2 tries. No rush with these kids most of them can play next year in SG Ball too so it's about nurturing them and not exposing them too much. I trust in Flano but it is exciting times ATM.

How about Shadi Hammoud?

He looks a pretty good prospect. Involved and effective when it matters; kicks goals; Captain.

Will our teams be weakened next round with the possibility of a few of the T&T guys playing in the charity shield?

like natIona’s televised Toyota Cup games. gave few of our “ future superstars “ their 5 mins of fame.

Good to see that finally there is some attention paid to the lower grades, no doubt Flanno has given the word that demands more out of them. In all seriousness there is no way known the Dragons lower grades should have been out of finals contention with the nursery we have, it was disgraceful, I'm expecting a whole change in our performances this year, I will be very disappointed if there isn't a massive improvement.

It’s quite clever that the talent deprived St George Ball side has had most of the outside recruitment and the Illawarra side mostly local juniors. If my memory serves me correct a couple of years back I think Illawarra got both and St Gorge flounded

It Looks like Shadi has gone up a level since last year from the 2 games i have seen(Highlights/Reports)

Should be equal for the most part u less we are super heavy young guys in our dev squad / TT?

Well Buchanan, Reed, King-Togia(Illawarra), Loko and Latu (St George) are all on NRL T&T's. Plus Ackers (St George) is in our NRL supp squad. They're all some of our best SG players really, so not sure if we sacrifice the Ball games to trial them in the Charity Shield or not

He's caught my eye because he looks to make the right plays. Unselfish. Scoring and setting up tries.

He was excellent against Penrith.

Put it this way, there are 30 others that need to play in the top 30 before they get a go. They may get a run but there is no point in rushing them.

I don't think there's any need to rush them. The club will try to win the SG Ball. Let them finish Ball, then go to Cup or Flegg.

It would be great if two or three of them were pushing for spots through the year.

I think a few may.

So they will still play ball next week and maybe get a few mins in the shield? I agree no need to rush them, just want to know whether to expect a win or a loss for our sides next week. Full strength our SG sides beat Bears and Storm easy in my opinion

Personally I would keep them in the SG Ball sides.

Whomever did the recruiting and got them to agree to live in Sydney and play for St George after the last 13 years is worth their weight in gold.

Sizzler is long gone. It’s in the middle of nowhere in a Sydney terms.

Something there has gone right.

Is it Kyle Stanley?

Love Kyle Stanley. f**k his knees. That kid was robbed.

I’m not sure mate. If they play ball they won’t play FG.

Worth noting that even if they don’t play we may still win without them
