Under 20s

[Perth Tiger]

So the last Tigers team are out of the semis. Seems like they had a ton of talent but as is common in Tigers teams could not put a full 80 minute performance in.

But looking towards the future, who does everyone see the future first graders coming from this team?

I see that most of the talent comes from the forwards. Of the 4 or 5 games that was televised this year I would say the two front rowers and two second rowers seem to have the potential to take there game to the next level. I particularly liked Funaki and he always reminds me of Sika Manu which is the type of second rower we are missing.

With the backs apart from Martin I don't see any potential first graders. I don't see the big winger Odgen being able to transfer his try scoring record to the top grade. The two centres have talent, particularly Haleta(sp) but neither seem to have the type of speed or size that could transfer to firsts.

The best prospect is Martin. As a ball player he reminds me of Shaun Johnstone when he was playing 20s. As long as his body develops to withstand the physical demands, he will be a very good player but given we already have Brooks, Moses and Tedesco it will be interesting to see if we can find a spot for him or if he has to go elsewhere for a shot

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Cherrington, Dallas Graham, Funuaki, Watson Heleta, Te Mare Martin.

I can see these five easily graduating to firsts.

Cherrington and Te Mare Martin are classy and will graduate in time.
Heleta will play firsts next year at some stage.

Lodge was a beast

Very disappointing effort last night.

Expected better.

 

[Perth Tiger]

I didn't mentioned Lodge in the OP since he is already a first grader.

Cherrington was the other one I missed and he seems to already be consider Farah's heir apparent

That was a disgusting 'performance' last night. I know they had a heap of injuries but it was just pathetic.

The game should have been put to bed early in the second half. We had 3 sets in a row on the broncs line and didn't go to the left once. Martin didn't touch the ball during the whole three sets!

Levido is absolute garbage and mason is worse then Rowe.

I get the impression there's a bit of a divide in the team between the Keebra and balmain boys. Hopefully it's sorted out by next season.

Also with lodge, no doubt he is a gun and will be a dominant first grader for years to come. However for mine he passes it way too often. Just tuck it under the arm and run it son, you're an absolute beast

At least shows he has a footy brain and awareness.

Will be so interesting to watch him develop. I havent seen a prop come through with his potential for a long time. And never at the Tigers. Hope he gets he right coach to develop him and find his most effective style of play.

Pray tell, where do the Western Suburbs boys stand in this divide or did you just forget they exist in the joint venture?

Happy now?

Most of those who are likely NRL players from our 20s wern't playing on Friday night

From blokes who are 20s elgible - Brooks, Moses, Seve, Milone, Matt Woods, Cherrington, Graham, Lodge, Hoeter all either have or look like making first grade and only Hoeter (who is more a winger I think), Graham and Lodge played - So thas only 3 out of 9 likely first graders who played

The backrowers might also be a chance funaki and liloevae

I said a divide between the balmain and Keebra boys you fcken spastic.

Theres a large amount of players from both the successful balmain ball/Mathews teams and the Keebra high boys who grew up together. That I don't think they like passing to each other/trust each other etc has nothing to do with western suburbs.

Get a grip, you sound like a pathetic bitter and twisted old loser

Bit upset there hey, little man.:lol:

How in the f**k did the Balmain ball/matthews teams and the Keebra high boys grow up together? One side/s based in the inner west of Sydney and the another in bloody Queensland.

You really have no idea of junior rep footy, just sprout your usual bs with really no substance. You sir, are a goose.

And the question still stands, if you know of this alleged divide between them - where does the western suburbs juniors within the NYC squad stand on the matter - as a neutral spectator, siding with the Balmain boys or with the Keebra Park mob?

I doubt you have an answer, just a poster who likes to make up crap.

Can I suggest you are the pathetic old Balmain boy but unlike most balmain boys cry like a new born with colic. You tosser.

 

[Big Pete]

I thought Funaki was head and shoulders your best against the Broncos.

Caused us trouble all evening and looks like a raw talent.

Commiserations on the loss - thought with all the injuries the Broncos should have put that game to bed early but your boys did well to not only hang in there but nearly take the game early.

Unfortunately, Farrell was terrible and Jayden Nikorima just caused him nightmares at the back.

Still, plenty to be excited about moving forward.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Wow

I said the Keebra boys grew up together and then the Balmain ones did also. Any normal person would understand this.

I don't know that there is a divide. Again I said I think there is. Maybe there isn't however it's a guess I've made after observing the team in probably 15 games this year. I don't know what the 1 or 2 magpies think of this division, if there is one. I couldn't care less either, it has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

I'm an old Balmain fan but I couldn't care less about that anymore. They died whilst I was still in high school. 'm Wests tigers through and through.

Back to the Tin foil hat old mate.

You obviously did not attempt 4 unit English at the HSC.

Read, reread and reread again, until you understand what you actually wrote.

When you know that you're point has been well and truly destroyed, resort to the grammar nazi tactics

Well done mate, you sure showed me

Vic baby, you are ratshit - you were the one who raised the allegation of a divide between the Balmain old boys and Keebra old boys. Forgetting about, as you say, the 1 or 2 Western Suburbs old boys.

When questioned your response was : "I don't know that there is a divide. Again I said I think there is. Maybe there isn't however it's a guess I've made after observing the team in probably 15 games this year"

No. Yes, No, Yes would be a good summary. Let's face it - you have no f**king basis for your alleged divide.

You should run for an official position (possibly 1st grade captain) at the Wests Tigers, at the moment, you would fit right in.
