Just about to start.
I finally get to see Feledy play with some good players around him.
Let's see if he can play up to all the hype surrounding him.

Feledy made a couple of good runs in the first half before getting burnt out wide to concede a try.....sounds familiar hey guys.

How did the rest go ?

The game really looked like kids playing tbh.
NSW kept attacking on the right side which saw Josh get little ball. When he did get the ball he looked dangerous.
I would have liked to have seen him get more involved by taking some early tackle hit-ups to give the forwards a rest. He is very solid front on defending but he tends to arm grab out wide and got burnt twice, once led to a try. He's strong through the hips and elusive. He reminds me very much like Bradman Best.
He's looks a bit out of nick with a gut roll. Walks a lot and that won't cut it in the NRL. These comments are purely based on last night's game though.

I was impressed with Chris Faagutu who came on as a sub. Powerful runner and solid defender.

I guess I was expecting huge things from Feledy and felt a little let down. I have to remember that he's only just transitioned from SG Ball to Jersey Flegg this year but on the same token Tallyn Da Silva was also a member of the 2022 Wests Harold Matthews team and he's made first grade, albeit temporary??
I think if our centres are still not cutting it with a few games to go I would give Feledy a run then give him a full preseason in the top 30 squad.

Rising stars give glimpse to the future

We take a look at some of Wests Tigers brightest young stars following Thursday night's Under 19s men's and women's State of Origin.
www.weststigers.com.au www.weststigers.com.au

Eighteen-year-old centre Josh Feledy was also impressive for the Blues in the Men's Under 19s Origin in Redcliffe as NSW defeated a Queensland side featuring Feledy's Jersey Flegg teammate Chris Faagutu.

Feledy and Faagutu have both made a successful transition from SG Ball to Jersey Flegg this year and are both seen as long-term prospects, and potentially NRL players in the not-too-distant future.

The Under 19s Origin games were played at the same ground where Lachlan Galvin, Heath Mason and Luke Laulilii gained selection in the Australian Schoolboys last weekend.


All three players were members of last year’s premiership winning Wests Magpies Harold Matthews team.

Galvin (five-eighth/back row) and Laulilii (fullback/winger) have been locked into long-term deals which will see them transition into Wests Tigers NRL program, while the club is also in discussions with Mason about his future.

Tallyn Da Silva was also a member of the 2022 Wests Harold Matthews team and is a classic example of what can happen in a short space of time.

The 18-year-old made his NRL debut in Round 16 this season following others who have also progressed rapidly through the club’s pathways program, including the likes of Justin Matamua, Fonua Pole and Branden Tumeth.

Other young guns from Wests Harold Matts 2022 team who are contracted to Wests Tigers are 18-year-old prop Jordan Miller and Wests SG Ball Cup captain, Kit Laulilii.

Like their former Harold Matthews teammate Da Silva, they also spent the 2023 pre-season training with Wests Tigers NRL squad.


These are just some of the elite young players in the club’s pathways program who are locked into multi-year deals.

Another player from the 2022 Wests Harold Matts team who is on a multi-year deal is centre Will Craig, while the 2023 Magpies Matt’s team is also supplying long-term talent.

Halfback Alex Isdale, and the Large brothers, Ashton (hooker) and Onitoni (five-eighth), are just a few of the stars on the rise.

There is plenty of talent rising through the Balmain junior system too, with several players in the pathways pipeline, including the likes of Alex Conti, Mikey Nasser and Marc Tannous.

All three played this season in Balmain’s Harold Matthews team and are transitioning into SG Ball.

Conti is a talented halfback who is still in Year 11 and has represented Combined Independent Schools at the Australian Schoolboys Championship for the past two years.

Tannous is also a halfback who represented CHS at the Australian Schoolboys Championships and has been a standout player at Hills Sports High.

Nassar is a fullback who narrowly missed selection for the CHS side this year through injury.

Wests Tigers General Manager - Women’s and Pathways Matthew Betsey believes the future looks bright.

“Our goal is to develop and retain the very best young talent we have in our system, and that is happening,” said Betsey.

“We have three large development areas including the South-West, Sydney’s Inner-West and Group 6.

“There is an exciting wave of talent coming through and we have some of the best in the business managing our pathways system."
